Shoes are junk had them 5 months an they are coming apart

I have a wide foot and found these fitting me well, with room to spare. I had to lace them tightly, which i never have to do with other shoes. They are light and breathing.

Took these on a 38 mile section hike on the AT in Georgia. It rained every day, but still had good traction, the gore-tex was waterproof, and they are very lightweight. However, they’re not as comfortable as my Moab 3’s. The fit seemed different and even with good socks and several adjustments, still had problems on the descents with my toes rubbing. Maybe should have got a half size larger?

I've always loved Merrell for their shoes simply because they work as promised. This is a lightweight sneaker that is waterproof. It feels perfect after only a couple of days and now it's like i've had them for years. Great sneakers.

The tongue doesn't cover the entire opening. When I tie the shoe, there is gaps on both sides where the tongue doesn't over/underlap the shoe.

I bought them to do some moderate hiking in Oregon/Washington. Honestly can’t speak highly enough about these hiking shoes. Theyre comfortable, light, and still give you everything you look for in a hiking shoe. Also the gore-tex is incredibly waterproof. Tied them tight and was in water that was over the tounge of the shoe and got no water inside

I have three pairs of the original Moab Speed. Nice shoes. Light, supportive and comfortable. Oval lugs don’t grab at all on wet or leafy surfaces. Current ones have no personality. Colors range from tan all the way to greige. What happened to gold, Tahoe blue, and brick red? Been waiting for the palette to show up because my originals have lost their waterproofing at the seams.

Now retired and traveling for months at a time, I needed some hiking shoes that could face anything in the UK environments, and particularly good with wet/rain, mud, and hiking on rocks where need traction; these have been great — good traction, can navigate wet spaces, too, and easy to clean and keep going — very satisfied with these, and also easy to pack as lightweight, small compared to other shoes

Good hiker, GoreTex is great but tiebox is rounded and with a heavy sock, even the wide width gives a cramped walk. I would also say the inside footbed has significantly changed for the worse. It is a good shoe, just not what a great Merrell shoe used to be.

I have bought 2 pairs of these over the year's and I am going to get another pair. These are the most comfortable shoes I have. They wear very well.

I found the Gore Tex to be a little heavier than the non Gore Tex version. Also, the Gore Tex version made my feet sweat because the fabric didn’t breathe. Unless you really want waterproof, go with the non gore tex shoe. You’ll be happier on long walks.

I have had many pairs of various Moabs and always order 14W I ordered these in 14W and were way to Long by about an inch. Exchanged for 13W and are still a tiny bit long. Otherwise great quality , comfort and looks. Walk a few miles a day in these like them a lot.
This is a well-made shoe using high-quality materials and it shows. Very comfortable right from the start good moisture barrier and stylish look.
