MerrellWomen's Moab 2 Waterproof Hiking Shoe

I was very worried about finding a hiking shoe that is lightweight, waterproof, and (most importantly) wide enough for my extra wide feet, especially when wearing them with thicker socks. I need a very wide toe box and this shoe delivered on all of the above. PLUS they are very comfortable. To test them out before using them for my trip, I wore them to work, doing massage therapy. I need a light and fairly flexible shoe to work in and this shoe did it for me. I have collapsed arches, which also means I need some kind of support. This shoe delivered on that as well. I still have to add a bit of an arch support insole for long walks/hikes, but for day to day, they work just fine. So, review: Fits well for extra wide feet, flexible, comfortable, light weight, waterproof, and supportive.

I purchased these shoes for a trip to Ireland and Scotland. I needed waterproof shoes that were both practical and comfortable, and I needed to be able to use my orthotic inserts with them. I selected this style after reading the reviews of others who had purchased this shoe and had good results. I wear a size 7, and purchased the 7.5 based upon customer reviews. The 7.5 gives me adequate toe room, and I am glad that I ordered that size. Although I have not yet been on the trip for which I purchased these shoes, I can honestly say that I could not be more pleased. I have worn them around town in both wet and dry weather, and my feet have stayed dry. As several of the other reviewers stated, they were comfortable right out of the box, and a break-in period was not necessary. I have not yet used my orthotics with them, because they have been very comfortable out of the box. However, I plan to take them with me on my trip in case I need them. I am happy with these shoes, and so far, would buy them again.

This is my third pair of Moab 2 Waterproof hiking shoes by Merrell. The fit is perfect. They keep my feet warm on cool hikes and cool on warm hikes. Never too hot, or bulky feeling. I use these for hiking and if I'm going to do a lot of walking for any day (like at Disneyland). I used to wear tennis shoes for all around walking at the Mall, etc. now I use these shoes most of the time. Way more support and comfort.

Update: photo #1 10/20 photo #2 03/21. I wear these all the time and they’re indestructible. I live in remote country and I walk, hike, jog, garden, quad ride, chainsaw, mow, yard work etc all the time. You can't hurt these shoes and you can get them dirty and they just brush off. Get the waterproof ones--I have stepped in the creek and submerged the shoe and come out with a dry sock and foot (the boots are even better for this, have those too). These shoes are amazing and comfortable right out of the box and they just get more comfortable as they shape to your foot. I have a kinda wide foot but they fit in regular shoes, but I order wide whenever it's available, just 'cause. I wear an 8.5 sneaker, and I ordered 8.5W, and perfect. I love this shoe. I want to back stock it so I never have to be without a pair. I would buy these and go hike a marathon (is that even a thing? haha) the next day and my feet would be so fine and so comfortable. Hurry up and buy.

Received as expected. Ordered 1/2 size larger since reviews indicated that this would be a good idea. I'm glad we did - I think the exact size would have been to tight especially with heavy socks. Still tried them out in wet conditions yet but poured some water on them let it set for a few hours with no sign of water getting inside of the shoe.

Ammending my review. I’ve had these for a year and over the Summer I did find them to be getting my feet drenched even though I didn’t submerge my feet in water but only walked around on wet grass. I use them to walk my dog in the woods. They put up with the terrain well. I appreciate the wide size. I am a 6 wide with “boxy” toes and have trouble finding shoes that fit so I’m very happy with these. They aren’t heavy nor stiff; other hikers I’ve owned were too stiff to the point of hurting my ankles and the arch of my foot.

I normally wear a size 8 shoe but buy a half size up for running shoes and hiking shoes. The 8.5 fit great. I love this shoe. It's sturdy and extremely comfortable right out of the box. I got these two days before a trip. I walked about 5 miles the first time I wore them and they felt as if they were custom made for my feet. It was a rainy day in Victoria, B.C. and my feet stayed completely dry.

Very comfortable shoes. I'm on my feet for 8+ hours a day and they keep my feet super comfy. I read previous reviews about going up a half size and glad I did!

Because of some nasty bunions and very high arches, trying to find comfortable runners became a time-consuming nightmare. Move over runners, come on over MOABs! Sturdy but not stiff, they are magical on my feet! Thank you so much for creating these great shoes!

These boots are fantastic - super comfortable and well made.I read all of the reviews before buying and was worried about the slippery thing everyone said. I went out for a hike yesterday in packed snow, loose snow, and ice. I didn't lose traction once. I'm not sure what made other people experience slipping, but so far - I'm actually impressed with the traction!I'd buy these again in a heartbeat.

I love these shoes! I live in a wet climate, it rains pretty much daily from October to April so I needed a pair of hikers that are waterproof. What I live about Merrell is I never have to break-in a pair of shoes. No matter what I buy, they fit perfectly and are so comfortable. I also have a pair of Merrell trail running shoes for the summer and I love them too. I would definitely buy both pair again.

Not waterproof, getting cold and wet feet. Where are all the other reviews coming from. I had german hiking shoes before, no problem with getting cold feet when a bit of wet grass touching the shoes. Also the top front gets wet, then it is just a cold foot in a pair of shoes of 170$. Slippery on wet rocks, these are for hiking hello, well donnot seem so, mostly summer shoes

these were on the tight side...especially for a high archusually the 8.5 regular width always fitsthe tongue is not wide enough to comfortably tuck in before lacing upMerrell's sizing got smaller years ago and I adjusted, so my regular size 8 became a 8.5 for Merrell over the past several years and now it seems again the sizing is even smaller....not happyquality is still there but fit is kinda important
