Merrell Men's Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Let's be honest, these are great, comfortable, breathable, nice looking, long lasting (tough), light, tru to size, did I mention confortable? but NOT water proof, they can keep you dry on a regular rain exposure, but as soon as you step in a poodle deep enough to cover above the sole, you'll get water inside, not much but enough to be annoying. Don't take me wrong, I've bought 3 pairs of these and I think 2 of Moab 2 because I have accepted the fact they aren't waterproof, maybe we could say they are water resistant, but all the other things I like are enough for me to keep buying this boots, each pair lasts me around 2 years. (I'm a biologist and go out a lot to hot and cold places). Might someday try the GTX version but they still are out of my budget.PD. "New Earth" keeps better the shade of color than the "Earth" one wich turns to a grey like brownish tone.

Durable, comfortable. Size is spot on. Slip resistant and light weight. Bought for my husband and he loves Merrill’s.

Great fit, comfortable and easy break in. Has good arch and ankle support.

I hike 4 miles everyday, rain or shine, snow or clear skies. For the past 90 days. 28 miles a week, approximately 112 miles a month or more. Anyway, got these boots 3 days ago, wore them twice on that four mile hike. The construction of the boot is good, it reminds me of a stretchy thick reinforced nylon sock. Don't know how waterproof it is yet but I can say that the comfort is off some. In my opinion the boot is too narrow, narrower than it should be and if it was a bit wider it would probably be more comfortable.I was wearing a pair of Nike Air Monarch's to do this daily 4 mile hike, sometimes I wear Carlsbad Wolverine boots, even wore a pair of Everboots and none of those caused my feet any damage, but these tight toed shoes, although they have outstanding treads on them, made my small toe on my right foot bleed long enough for a quarter sized stain on my sock. Which surprised me because I didn't exactly feel it and I the fact the material of the boot is so stretchy (it's not exactly the same as a pair of leather boots).I usually get foot wear a 1 size larger than my foot size, especially with Steel Toed boots, but with this pair of hiking boots I figured I'd go with 1/2 size larger but these boots run small in the toe area and squeeze your toes, the whole boot is basically like that. Walking on pavement there is so much tread on it that it feels like the heels are higher than they should be and the balls of the foot area is not very well padded.I put on a pair of thick wool socks but I had to squeeze my foot in the boot and it made it uncomfortable so I put on a thin pair and it was manageable. The thing is the boots are warm, even in 25 degree weather so I didn't need thick socks, in fact the boot fit best when I had no socks on at all but I'm not hiking 4 miles with no socks on.What sucks about buying boots online is that if they don't fit you have to go through the hassle of sending them back and ordering another pair, when that pair arrives it might not necessarily fit either, not the way you expect. Like I said, I've had the boots for 3 days, walked 8 miles over 2 days in them, the boots made my small toe bleed but without pain, but the treads give me so much traction that my legs don't get tired as fast and I have more endurance so it's a trade off. I'm hoping that over time the boots will stretch some and fit better, I'll just have to keep wearing them and find out. What I should have done is looked for this pair of boots or a another type of Merrill boots at a shoe store locally and tried on 1 size larger like I normally get. It's a case of live and learn, it's good to be certain that is for sure.

For decades I have avoided wearing hiking boots because I hadn't found any comfortable for my feet. Preparing for a tour of Colorado I searched and found the Merrell Moab 3 hiking boot, unsure if it will work for me. I must say that not only is the quality good, but they look good and are light and comfortable, providing ample support., all at a reasonable price. I wear 11.5 wide. I hit the hiking boot jackpot!

Great quality, excellent support, comfortable, waterproof and still breathe. Almost two years later and have held up extremely well.

I first heard about Merrill Boots while I was in the Marine Corps and eventually was issued these, and fell in love with them. They were the first gen MOAB’s they were light and very comfortable, now that I have retired I wanted a better hiking book for when I go camping and working around the my cabin, the fit is amazing, the color is spot on and I love how the new gen has more aggressive traction, which is a huge plus. Overall these feel better than what I had and I know that the durability of these boots will last a long time. Plus they are 100% waterproof and when you pair these with OR gaiters you are golden for any adventure.

High quality shoe light, rugged, super comfortable, many choices of colors , good price , quick service . Out of the box , wore them to work the next day . Fit is spot on men 10 w perfect.
