MerrellMen's Moab 2 Waterproof Hiking Boot

I AM A PRIME MEMBERMerrell Men's Moab 2 Waterproof Hiking Shoe, Bark Brown, right shoe started leaking at pinky toe,(NOTE: AMAZON WILL NOT COVER WARRANTY, ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND 6 DAYS FROM PURCHASE). Wet spot after walking in morning dew. I am retired 70 yrs. young with daily walks with my 2.5 yr. old German Shepard. Going to try Merrell directly now. Show much for that SUB PRIME SERVICE.

This represents my fifth or sixth pair of Merrell Moabs over the years. I've had both the waterproof and ventilated varieties, and I often have one pair of each. This, however, is my first pair of Moab 2s. Clearly, I like the Moab line, and one of the main reasons is the straight-out-of-the-box comfort for which Merrell is renown. There is no break-in period with these shoes. You can put them on and know your feet will be happy. There are a few things I would recommend however, based upon prior Moab usage. One of my other reasons for buying these shoes again and again is that they last a long time. The soles are rugged. They do not wear out whether I am hiking mountains or just doing the daily urban hiking of a walking city like New York.Always unlace the shoes to take them off. If you pull your foot out them all the time without unlacing, the cloth at the back of your foot by your achilles tendon will wear away and the padding behind it will be visible and become loose. Also, there is something about the laces that makes them susceptible to becoming untied. If I don't double knot them, they come untied more so than any shoe I have ever owned. Maybe the laces are coated to repel water or something, but I definitely recommend double knots. Lastly, if you want to keep your waterproof Moabs waterproof, I recommend using a waterproofing product at least one a year. That is a standard recommendation given by manufacturers for most waterproof gear, but I've found that my feet stay dry in these shoes if I re-waterproof them annually.Even with the preceding recommendations, I wholly recommend Merrell's Moab line. If the Moab 2 is as nice a shoe as its predecessors, I will be enjoying them for a long time.

The old Moab (not the Moab 2) was considerably wider. If you have a wide foot and you like the "old" Moab you may not like the Moab 2.With the exact same sizes of Moab vs. Moab 2, the Moab is wider and more comfortable.My Moab 2s aren't nearly as comfortable as my Moabs due to the 2 being narrower.YMMVUPDATE,The shoes are falling apart after only two months. They look new but the soles are coming off. These are junk compared to my old Moabs (NOT the 2). Stay away from Merrell. They went down the tubes IMO. VERY DISAPPOINTED. :(

I bought these shoes in mid-January and within one month the uppers have started to split from the souls.

These shoes are like walking with bricks on your feet. I would be returning them, but missed the deadline. Very stiff shoe, not much padding. The left toe box doesn't fit well at all. They feel smaller than the Merrell 13 W pair I have. They are water proof. Not easy on your feet at all. 13000 steps in these shoes is all my feet could take. Very stiff, clunky is the best word I have for them.

Out of the box and onto my feet...perfect fit and have broken them in already with 2-3 days walking around. they were actually perfect out of the box. So...now after a 2 week trek in Peru, Bolivia and Chile I can say that these shoes are awesome. they were super comfortable, did not tire out my feet, fit perfectly. they held up on rocky and uneven terrain and held grip on slippery surfaces, wet rock conditions, sand, broken rock climbing, shallow stream beds. They were waterproof for sudden shallow submersions, held up on a really rocky, sharp rock area. These gave some insulation in snow in the Bolivian mountains and gave excellent traction on ice and wet surfaces. Love them! My wife bought similar in women's style and felt the same.These were inexpensive in comparison to if they didn't work and my feet suffered...Merrell shoes are absolutely unparalleled in outdoor footwear.

I now have owned three pair of these shoes. The first pair was my everyday shoe minus any painting chores! Pairs One and Two are walnut in color. I got compliments on the looks and the fit was excellent. I also used the shoes for mild hiking and near daily long walks. I used them for about 5-6 years. I bought a second pair two years ago and used them as a dressier same shoe. They looked better for certain situations. The second pair, now called Moab Vent2, has a slightly different trim but improved for sure.The first pair has officially been retired. One too many trips to the dog park was causing small gravel to enter the shoe. The circles show a seperated sole and a wear hole on the side. They are now a still comfortable painting shoe.This third pair will be used as the better looking shoe for now. The color is Beluga. It looks like a dark greyed out version of the Walnut shoes pictured. The pictures shown are true to the actual color.All the shoes fit about the same. The designs are slightly different, especially the first pair. But all are well built, comfortable and good looking. I know they are a few dollars more than copies of a similar style. But in my opinion, Merrills are well worth the slightly higher cost.

My old merrells were an 11 and fitted great, these were an 11 too but were way too small ! They didn’t look very good either, hard to explain but didn’t look like the normal shape of a shoe ? Bit, rounded, pumped up, sent them back.

Great shoes, I am a UK standard size 8. With these shoes, I always buy 1/2 size bigger, that is the only negative remark. I have had 3 pairs of these shoes, having been tempted by others, and then coming back to Merrell.

The right sole completely separated from shoe! That's horrible quality from a Merrell product. If I still had the box, they would be coming back to you. 2 months old!

They were too short. Also, I doubt I found have found them comfortable. I could not exchange for the correct size through Prime.The return was easy. The credit fast.I was snarffled into Prime. We'll see.Ultimately I bought my size in another Merrill at a local store where I also tried on my size in the subject shoe. In this case and the future, I will shop locally for shoes even though the selection is limited. Merrill sizing is not the same for 11.5.

Merrell has been my go to shoe for years. However, the last two pair I purchased have been sub par at best. Wore out much quicker than usual and this last pair never felt "right". The backs would bunch up, internally, and feel weird. Very disappointed. Have gone to another brand. Sorry Merrell....
