High quality product and excellent fit. Can be tough to find an affordable hiking shoe in wide width so was pleased when I realized Merrell, a quality brand, offered a wide fit option. Very comfortable, even after a long day’s hike. Purchased for a four month trip to Europe and they are still as comfortable after 4 months as the first day. Thick soles with great grip/traction. The only negative is they are bulky so they took up a lot of space in luggage. Regardless, I would definitely buy again. Read more
I had previously had the women's version, but they were unavailable when needed. These are nice, rugged, firm, and supportive. I ditched the lousy insoles for a softer, thicker insole. These are my daily drivers and I hike, work, and do chores in these. Comfortable while still supportive and aggressive traction for snow, mud, and other debris. Very happy with these. Read more
Let me start by saying that I am very particular about shoes and boots. I have unusually shaped, wide feet, which means I have the hardest time finding footwear that I not only like but are comfortable. I usually have to put everything I buy on a boot stretcher just so my foot fits in them right (I also have to put new insoles in everything). A lot of the guys at work wear Merrel and I figured I'd give them a shot. When I say these shoes are amazing, comfortable, and look good on my feet, it's no small statement for me. These shoes fit comfortably right out of the box! I can't remember the last brand (that wasn't a flexible/stretchy running shoe) for which I could say that! I highly recommend them to anyone who has problems finding the right shoe for their feet. For reference, I am 5' 10", 210 lbs, and my usual size is 12 W or Extra Wide. I got them in size 12 wide, and I am extremely happy with my purchase! Read more
I bought the "wide" version and they are indeed wide enough--quite comfortable in that regard. They are a bit heavy compared to other hiking shoes, but they seem very sturdy. No wonder they're Amazon's best seller. Read more
Every single time I put these on, it feels like I'm taking a powerful relic and attaching them to my feet. These are possibly the most epic shoes/boots I've ever slipped on. Had to get my own waterproofing spray, but that was one, very small, downside. The traction after the first couple days of breaking it in is phenomenal, they fit snug on my feet, has great arch support from the start, are extremely durable, and they just look so fine. The Merrel Moab 3 is a monumental shoe. Read more
This is my second pair of Merrell Moabs. My first pair was the Moab 2, and they lasted me 5 years before I finally decided to replace them — which says a lot about the durability. Because of that experience, I didn’t hesitate to go with the Moab 3 Low. Out of the box, they felt supportive and well-built, but they really started to shine after a few days of wear. The sole gradually molded to my foot and became noticeably more comfortable, so there is definitely a short break-in period — but it’s completely normal and worth it. One quick tip: at first I noticed a little rubbing from the laces across the top of my foot. I realized it was just from uneven tension when I laced them up. Once I tightened the laces evenly from bottom to top, the issue completely went away. Take a second to lace them properly when you put them on and you shouldn’t have any problems. They’re stable, supportive, and feel durable — great for everyday wear and light hiking. Based on my experience with both the Moab 2 and now the Moab 3, I’d absolutely buy them again. Read more
Fast service, great product. Well made, accurate size and width. Good soles and easy to walk in. As good as their hiking boots! Read more
Husband loves these. He’s now bought two different colors. He likes a shoe with a stiffer toe box but not too stiff. He has some arthritis in his big toes so he wants a shoe to combine flexibility with stability. The toe box on these is great, not too narrow or too wide. They have nice thick tread, a wider sole, and provide good stability while walking. Never a blister and no issues with breaking them in. He pulls them out of the box and puts them on. Instantly comfortable. We have not tested how waterproof they are. We wish they offered more color choices, but did not take off a star for that. Recommended for walking and everyday life. We are not hikers so cannot attest to how they would handle serious terrain. Read more
