Merrell Men's Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Merrell makes great shoes and these are no exception. I have two pairs of their slip on mocs which have been great so I had high expectations for these. Not disappointed. A substantial boot that is not too heavy. I appreciate the wide sizes, keep my toes from being too cramped. My regular size also accommodates an ankle brace that I need on an ongoing basis. Lots of support all the way around without being too stiff. Very comfortable.

The media could not be loaded. I am a woman with big feet. Women's boots do not fit me well. I have been a fan of Merrell Moab Ventilators for more than a decade - I currently have a pair of mid-highs and low tops, which serve me well. I buy them in a men's size which comfortably fit my feet.I am not a fan of waterproof boots! I can't imagine walking miles and miles with moist feet. My Ventilators get wet but dry very fast so have never been a problem in wet, muddy weather.I had a long walk ahead of me - the Camino de Santiago de Campostelle in Spain but I feared that my good ol' Ventilators might not last the hundreds of miles. When these boots came on sale, I decided to give them a try. They were Merrells, which gave me confidence.They were a different color from my Ventilators so I would be able to tell these waterproofs from my other Merrells, also!These boots exceeded my expectations from day one. They fit very comfortably, even with the layers of socks I use to prevent blisters. They were water resistant, although not totally waterproof, which meant that, even in the worst downpours, of which there were MANY, on rocky, muddy trails, my feet were only slightly moist and the boots dried overnight. They did not show any wear and tear, and the Vibram soles did not slip (yes, I used hiking poles).They fit well, were breathable, yet kept my feet relatively dry under the worst conditions (the video does not do them justice). I still love my Ventilators and will use them until they wear out but these were a good investment for the rugged use I put them through.

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.

I swore I’d never buy Merrell again after premature failure of the previous sets of boots but I still like the style, they are comfortable and affordable. I’ve had these for almost three months now and although they don’t have many miles on them, I do like them very much. They were comfortable out of the box.My one complaint is that the laces are too short (52”) to get a good double knot in. I swapped them out for a pair of recycled laces (likely my old Merrell’s because they look almost identical) that are 60” long and that was what these boots needed.

Had this pair for a few days and I am VERY happy with the quality fit and comfort. I live in an area with clay soil. When it rains the dirt turns to gue and sticks to your shoes. The tread design makes it super easy to take a hose and wash off the dirt. My wife really likes this feature. Great shoes.

Really amazing and comfortable boots. I bought these same boots about 10 years ago and they lasted me that long with almost daily use.

These Merrell Moab 2 Waterproof boots are some of the very best. I hike all over the world, including trekking in the Himalaya Mountains of Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, and Ladakh. I also have used these boots in the deserts and canyons of the American Southwest. Without fail, these boots are some of the most comfortable, with excellent treads for mud, sleet, and and other wet conditions. Good for crossing streams, and on slippery rocks. With excellent ankle support. Also, they are light weight, so breath well, and keep your feet dry. If you have problems with blisters, these relatively soft boots with fix that. I got this pair for $99.00 which is the very best price you can find. They list for well over $150.00. I have used up three or four pairs, walking hundreds and hundreds of miles in them. For the price, it does not get any better than these. Highly recommended.
