MerrellMen's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe

I’ve owned these for a few months now and have put them through the paces. I’m a FedEx courier and run a very rural route in the hills of interior Alaska.Great fit and comfortable. Very little wear fatigue, if at all. I love that the outer upper stays very clean and black. The tread is aggressive and keeps me stable in mud and loose gravel. My feet stay locked in with no exit slippage.I put a LOT of miles on my shoes and these have held up better than any I’ve owned over the past 5 years.Looks and performs exceedingly well. Will absolutely buy again. 👍

Love these. I go through a lot of hiking shoes as I wear them not only for hiking, but also for working outside, gardening, and building. These are the best. Very comfortable and well made. Also, they are very light. Not quite as light as sneakers, obviously, but pretty darn light for hiking shoes. The sizes are as advertised, and the shoes provide adequate arch support. Two thumbs up.

Extremely comfortable from the moment I first put them on. Run true to size and have great tread. Appears to be very well made and I have worn them on 10.5 hour work shifts spent entirely on my feet and without the discomfort I felt wearing other well known brands. Will definitely buy again and am also strongly considering a taller version for my camping and hunting trips.

I love the look of the Moab 3 — it’s probably my favorite aspect of the shoe. The sole fits my foot perfectly and is incredibly comfortable, with excellent traction on all surfaces. The only downside is that it wears out a bit quickly, especially the suede, which tends to show wear faster than expected.

This shoe is comfortable and meets all of my walking/hiking needs. I just completed a trip where I hiked in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. I wore these shoes all day for several consecutive days and I couldn't be happier with the performance.Before buying, I watched multiple videos on YouTube rating hiking shoes. The Merrill Moabs were nearly always in the top three reviewed, receiving high marks on build quality and comfort. Reviewers also rated the shoe's performance high. As a non-professional hiker, this was good enough for me. If any of the online reviewers were to ask me, and I know none will, I'd commend them for their reviews. They steered me towards these shoes, and I'm glad they did.While none of the trails I hiked were extreme, I did encounter many rocks/boulders, tree stumps, and obstacles such as fallen trees and other challenges. The Moabs met each challenge. Prior to my trip, I'd been wearing these at my cabin where I go for lengthy walks along paved and unpaved roads. Again, the Moabs met all conditions I experienced with comfort and durability. For my style of walking and hiking, I feel confident that I've purchased an affordable yet reliable shoe.I've used hiking boots for years, but I wanted a shoe that, while it doesn't provide the ankle support of a boot, was still rugged and able to serve me as I expected to be served. The Moab has thus far met all of my expectations, though I will update this review if I experience and issues. But for now, I recommend these to anyone who is a casual walker/hiker similar to me.

I first bought a pair of these shoes years ago. They are durable and comfortable and they are the only "sneakers" I have worn since. Whenever the current pair wears out, I always buy the same shoes again. They have good traction and are of good quality. In addition, they seem to let my feet breath.

I was a New Balance guy for many years due to my very wide feet. In recent years, they've become very disappointing, falling apart even when quite new. This past Summer I was headed to Europe for a lot of hiking. After an on trail failure of New Balances the year before (brand new pair and the bottom just came right off), I knew I had to find a better solution. I had also been dealing with a lot of blisters. I decided to try these based on some youtube videos.They did not disappoint! Even after a 20 mile hike, no blisters and no foot pain. The best part is even after 150 miles of some very hard trails, they're still holding up great! I am so very impressed by these shoes and this company. I've been telling everyone I know to get a pair. As a teacher I have to be very careful how I spend my money. I have to get value for my dollar. These were very expensive for my budget. I've learned that if you're going to enjoy travel, your feet have got to be happy. These have worked for me. I'm saving up for another trip in 2027. My budget is going to include another pair of these. These shoes made a trip of a lifetime even more amazing than I could have imagined.When the school year started, I went back to the old New Balances with all the shoe goo repairs. Standing all day teaching in those was now torture. I started wearing these. They're not really dressy enough, but I got them in black, so they work ok with khaki's and a nice shirt. The last 3 weeks, I'm walking up and down the rows, ready to help my kids. I have not felt the need to sit down and rest my feet like I used to have to do.So these shoes not only helped me enjoy the vacation of a lifetime, but they're helping me help kids and be the best teacher I can be. We'll see how long it takes for them to wear out.I thought I'd add that they are the perfect amount of grip, even on the wet cobblestone streets of Europe. I never slipped once.

Tried them on at home — super comfy and well-cushioned! Bought for my Alaska cruise and they feel perfect for walking and light hiking. Great fit, supportive, and waterproof. Looking forward to using them on the trip!
