Merrell Men's Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Let me start out by saying that while I am not much of an avid hiker, these are by far my favorite shoes. I wear them multiple days a week just because they're so comfortable and I like the look. They do tend to run small. I normally wear a men's size 8.5 and when I received those and tried them on, I immediately sent them back and ordered a half-size larger. Those size 9s fit perfectly. These shoes/boots are durable. I've had them now for about 4 years and they STILL look great. The soles have good traction and they do repel water pretty well. I haven't hiked down the middle of a stream, but I have stepped through them and my feet stayed dry. For rainy days, they work great. Arch support is good as well. I have high arches and often have to swap out the insole to something with more support. Not so with these. Overall, these are great boots. When you consider the price for what you get, they are fantastic. I really have no idea why I waited so long to review them, but here you go. I own the mid-height and am just now purchasing another pair in the low-height. Highly recommended.

I have tried other hiking boots/shoes and I am always happy with Merrell. I buy others for price benefits, but you get what you pay for. These shoes feel great immediately; as if they were specifically made for me. I have a wider foot and flat footed as well. While the support with the shoe would most likely be sufficient for my flat feet, I still buy my own insoles. Habit. Foot comfort is key regardless the task. I walk 2-4 miles a day with my dog. I can wear boots out quickly. These Merrells hold their own, though. I can almost get a year out of a pair. The shoe itself is still in great shape usually, but the soles wear according to my gait and that is the reason for getting a new pair. I like the above ankle shoe/boot. It offers enough ankle support still without being a boot. It has great traction. Difficult to walk in new ones due to such great traction and width of sole, but that’s probably because I get used to walking in my worn out ones.🤷🏻‍♂️ Warm enough for Michigan Winters. The waterproofing is great, too. Spring in Michigan can be extremely wet. 2-4 miles walking in wet grass or puddles, it is nice to have dry feet at the end (well, during as well). I think I may be finished shopping around. I’ve had Raichle, Red Wing, Keen, Field and Stream, and Salomon to name a few. All of those were good as well, but either discontinued a style or changed manufacturing which changed the product. I’ll just stick with these Merrells as long as they maintain their quality. You may benefit from doing what I’m doing and just sticking with what works (for me), which is Merrell.

After 3 full days of wearing boots, working on concrete and lots of ladder work, the comfort of these boots are way above my expectations! Must write this review and share. First I did not buy for hiking use however for a hiker a definite must. I have bad feet and after several orthopedic type shoes and custom inserts, I could not stay on my feet longer than 3-4 and that was stretching it. My feet would swell and sometimes I couldn't even wear a shoe the following day. After seeing a good foot doctor, she recommended I purchase a wide hiking shoe (I normally where medium) which would give my toes more spread room. Also, she suggested the hiking boots have less bend (flexibility) in toe area which would not allow toes to bend much which was causing alot of my issues. And of course a good arch support. After a couple more months of pain I finally starting researching for "best hiking boots" and Merrell MOAB which I pulled the plug and ordered. When boots arrived I could not believe the total weight, both boots and packaging weighed less than one of my other boots! Due to weather in St Louis area I ordered the water proof type to keep feet warmer. Anyway, these are the first boots (including orthopedic shoes) I have been able to keep on my feet over 4 hours. Had em on almost 10 hours today and even walked my dog (Labrador) for a mile! Also, as I read in many other reviews, did not have to break in. 3 full days now and going strong. Will update as time goes on. As for now, highly recommend! UPDATE: Wrapping up my second week wearing my Merrell boots. Boots are high above expectations! My neighbor noticed me moving around much better and longer. What a difference a good fitting, comfortable boot makes! Neighbor went to local store and bought a pair the next morning! Also, we had snow earlier this week, feet stayed dry!

Fits to size. Boots are very comfortable but heavier than what I normally wear

Very good and comfortable. No reason to buy anything else

using Merrell shoe for trekking for many years; usually i buy at the shop; this time no shop had it and hence ordered on-line and it is not as wide as i expected or previous shoes which did not even have "wide" on the box. Next time need to order one size bigger i guess and hope present ones expand a bit after using few times and break-in

Commentaire à réception : Déjà elle sont très jolies 🤗 Ensuite très confortables, à voir sur le terrain (sur la durée)... J'ai pris une demi-taille au dessus pour pouvoir mettre des chaussettes plus épaisses et ça suffit, donc moi qui chausse un 37, je dirais qu'elles taillent bien (puisque le 37,5 est un peu plus grand). Hâte maintenant de les essayer pour de vrai (d'ici 4 jours) ! Si ça n'allait pas, je reviendrai modifier mon commentaire 🤗 Après 6 mois, portées un petite dizaine de fois : Très déçue car le pied gauche prend l'eau en un rien de temps ! Petite balade de 45mn dans les bois, l'herbe était mouillée mais il ne pleuvait pas : 10 mn plus tard, la chaussure imbibée d'eau, le pied qui fait des " floc floc " dans la chaussure ! Que dire de plus à part qu'on s'attend à mieux au regard du prix des chaussures. Je ne recommande pas et ne reviendrai sans doute pas à cette marque qui paraissait pourtant fiable.

Nice for for my legs and has been out to different terrains with good support.thanks

I walk A LOT on both pavement and woodland terrain for up to 10 hours and do it frequently and this is currently the only brand i can trust to not become mushy or fall apart. The sole is very supportive for a very long usage, it will not move around, become detached or let go of the surface cloth like other shoes always do with wear. I have kicked chunks of ice, bonfire logs, rocks, scraped the shoes on forest wood and the stitching and whatever glue holds up. The suede-ish finish feels very nice to the touch and cleans off surprisingly easy for a textured surface. The rubber on the bottom of the shoe takes much longer to wear down than other brands. I am on my 3rd pair of MOAB hiking boots, 2nd pair of running shoes and 1st pair of insulated boots from Merrel and all are impressive in terms of support and durability. The shoelaces are back to being the good kind now, my last MOABs had unacceptable shoelaces and now they switched back to the more durable ones that also don't come undone. The only thing peculiar I ever noticed about the newer MOAB boots compared to the style about 5 years ago is that the toe now has mesh directly on the top which lets more water in during rain or even being kicked up from a wet ground. The older style had a strip of leather straight down the middle with mesh on the sides and the old toe style kept my feet notably drier. Still the best shoe brand for heavy walkers and hikers so far

サイズは思っていたより小さかったけれど、軽くて履き心地は良いです。同じサイズでもメーカーによってこんなに違うんですね。
