Merrell Men's Moab 2 Vent Mid Hiking Boot

Comment

I have worn a number of Merrell shoes/boots and am quite pleased with the construction, comfort and durability of them all. The one thing that prevented me from giving a five star rating was the size. Very first pair bought about six years ago were size 11 and a bit too short. A subsequent pair, different model, was size 12 and still a bit snug. Would recommend going to an actual store to verify the right size needed then if appropriate price-wise order on line. Recent pair bought, the Moab 2, is a bit roomy length wise - go figure? I noticed that earlier models had been made in China while the Moab 2 was made in Viet Nam. This might be a quality control issue Merrell should look into.

BAckpacked with a 65 lb. pack for a week over 2 12500 ft. passes and back again, everything was pretty good. These were not water proof boots, i expected that, got my feet wet a couple of times and had to hike for the day, they dried out very reasonably well, submerged both boots in lake water, and the dried out very well over night and a couple of sock changes and it was back to normal. They breath very well, if your a foot sweater like me this is the boot for you. Also no blisters, did not have time to "break them in", but I did wear sock liners (the type with individual toes). Durability may be a factor, they are already showing signs of the sole separating from the toe. Not enough padding under the foot, i know they are made to be light but... By the end of the week the bottom of my feet were killing me, i will probably go back to a heavier boot in the future.

Holy cow. No wonder these boots are so popular. For the price, the quality is awesome. Took them on a 24 mile hike through the woods and they were perfect. My feet barely got sore, my ankle had just enough movement to stay loose but still have support, they were light, good looking, stop water well, and the laces never came untied! Way better than my Rockys by far. It was a perfect fit too. Definitely recommend

Ive owned several pairs of these before and I have been happy with them. I walk outside from 3 to 4 miles a day, year round, on an asphalt track, as well as for just general wear. The Vibram soles last me about a year, which I think is pretty good. I prefer the "Mid" version of these because they provide additional ankle support. As the name "Vent" implies, these shoes breath, keeping your feet from getting sweaty. They are not water resistant, so I have another pair of waterproof membrane type hikers that I wear on rainy, snowy, slushy days. I think you will like them

I cant say enough about these little boots! Unlike leather boots which is all I used to wear, Ive had these things for over a month now and they still look like brand new. Not even a scuff mark on them. Theyre lightweight and have great support. As for climbing on roofs they grip like a gecko
