Merrell Women's Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

I bought these boots for a recent winter trip to Iceland. Size was perfect. I generally wear an 8, this shoe for me ran really true to size. My feet are borderline wide, I purchased an 8 wide so that I would be sure to have enough room for multiple layers of thick wool socks - which ended up fitting perfectly! There was no "adjustment" period with these boots to break them in, they were comfortable from the first time I put them on. Even without the multiple pairs of socks, the boots proved to be super warm and waterproof. I wore them trekking thru Iceland winter glacer/hiking trails with snow and ice and never had a problem with my feet getting wet or not staying warm. The traction was great, although most of the time, due to terrain, i had Yaktrax on the bottom of the boots. I was slightly worried initially about the yaktraxs fitting on the the wider boot, but it was not a problem at all!! I put 200+ miles of hiking on these the last 3 weeks in iceland and never had any problems and i look forward to many more hiking adventures in them! Overall, a great buy and a great boot!

It took about a full days worth of walking to break these puppies in. But once broken in, they are very comfortable. I have very weak ankles and tennis shoes just dont make the cut for me. I like how these boots come up to the ankles and they feel very secure in them. I also really like the color. I cant remember the actual name but it has peach accents and brown. The bottoms are very thick and durable. They provide a lot of traction for slick surfaces. I did a lot of research to find the perfect hiking boots under $200, and these definitely fit the bill. They are also waterproof. Now dont go swimming in them, but if it starts to rain, your feet should be dry for awhile.

This is the 3rd pair of Moab mid boots my daughter has owned - she’s been wearing them since middle school. Her last pair she wore daily - summer and winter - for 4 or 5 years, 3 miles a day, you do the math. The Vibram sole wore down and the lining tore but the heel, toe, solid. If I could only own one pair of shoes I would want these for my only shoes. Great if you have weak ankles too. She wears an 8 1/2 in certain other shoes but a 9 in these. Go great with SmartWool hiking socks.

AWESOME SHOES! I got them a half size up because I needed toe room while doing a pretty elevated hike. They are completely waterproof and so comfortable. I went to REI prior to ordering these and tried on about five different hiking boots and these were by far the best fitting for me.

I bought these shoes after seeing them on several websites lists of the best hiking shoes plus Amazon reviews. Initially these shoes seemed comfortable and had good grip on uneven terrain. The problem is the sole has virtually no flex, which puts a lot of pressure on your heel since you cant roll forward onto the ball of your foot as part of a normal walking gait. This unrelieved pressure on the heel causes foot problems. After a 7-mile hike in these boots, I was considering taking the boots off for the final mile to stop the aching in my heels. Returning these shoes.
