Merrell Moab 2 8" Tactical Waterproof Boot Men's

Comment

While the boots are a bit wider than I expected for a pair in medium width, Im blown away by the comfort. I put them on and they immediately felt like they were broken in. Actually, they felt like a comfortable pair of tennis shoes. Ill be looking forward to putting them through their paces shortly.

I ordered extra wide because I have super wide feet...well, these are the first boot Ive had that actually gave my toes room to wiggle. I wear them 12+ hours. I normally buy 13D in 5.11 and these fit way looser than those. Next time ill get a 12 1/2 Ive had a thread come out of the stitching on the sleft side but thats because my boot constantly rubs the floorboard of my patrol unit there. Very comfortable...i work in rural areas. Couldnt tell you how these would be inside, like in a prison, ive had good traction on wet concrete on the street but prison concrete is different, so..idk. I use tire wet to clean these and stay within policy. Our Swat unit issues these

Greats boots! Very comfortable & excellent quality compared to many boots that are not well put together. Above average cost but you get what you paid for in how well these are made.

For the most part, I like these boots enough to keep them and wear them. Heres what I like: They are lightweight, much lighter than my leather work boots. They breathe, so my feet are cooler in hot weather. I have trouble with my ankles, and these boots provide enough support that I can wear them all day. They look good. Heres what I dont like: They are frustratingly difficult to put on. Even with the zipper on the side, they dont open up far enough, and I really have to struggle to get them on. Its a battle every time. Plus, the top pairs of eyelets for the laces are holes rather than hooks, so when I open the boots enough to get them on and the laces come out, I have to fish them through the holes to re-lace them. The hooks on my leather boots are much easier. Finally, the sole is too thin to protect my feet when Im shoveling. Thicker soles would probably increase the weight of the boots, but it would make it easier to work in them. Merrell makes such great footwear. I hope that the next time they design boots they address these problems.

Go up half size from normal size. Unfortunately my left shoe makes a "pop" sound 80% of the time I walk now, which started about 2 weeks after use. Annoying, sounds like Im wearing flip flop sandals. Not the quality I have come to know from Merrell in the past. They also look more dark gray than black.
