My New Moab Hiking Shoes

I bought two pair of Moab hiking shoes about 6 weeks ago - I have to admit, I have only worn one pair so far - but it was due to an injury I had, so I've been breaking in the beluga pair. I have tried on the blue pair and they are fire, but I have only tried them on. The beluga pair has been my saving grace so far, so comfortable and do not put extra stress on my legs when I wear them. I've now had 6 pair of Merrills, maybe 7 in my life and I'm sticking with them :)

Poor Lace Loop Design

I just put these on for the first time this season and the fabric lace loop broke. Not even two years old. Still wearable, but now lacking the ankle support that you would expect from a boot.

Still Good, But Fit Not As Good As A Few Years Ago

This is my second pair (lost the original pair). The quality seems to have suffered somewhat, as the fit is a bit looser around the ankles. The original pair seemed more stable around the ankles. I had to lace up the new pair much tigher to get the same level of support.

I have five pairs of these. Very comfortable and light weight. Some really great shoes!!

Outdoor 3d Archery

I bought these for outdoor 3d archery. They are an awesome boot and have exceeded my expectations. Very comfortable and light.

Sadly Disappointed

4th time wearing these “waterproof” shoes. They were, again, not waterproof. Maybe water resistant but certainly not waterproof. Just doing some walking in the wet grass yesterday and they were showing moisture where my toes bend. Today it was raining and they leaked like a sieve. I had waterproof gaiters on so the water was not coming from my pantlegs. My socks were full on soaked. The shoes were oozing water. This is a replacement pair for a different model of “waterproof” shoes. Very disappointed. I’m not expecting these things to put up with Sitka climates and rain. But a couple hours shouldn’t be too much to ask. Maybe I’m expecting too much?

Incredible Kicks

Best looking silhouette that I have ever seen in my 43 years on earth. High-quality finish and durable materials. I wish I had another pair to wear down when this pair wears out. I absolutely love the color combination as well.

Work Boot

I chose this shoe as a work boot. The comfort is very good. There is a question as to the durability. Being a suede of sorts the toes have shown excessive wear. I have had the boots for 2 months, so the jury is still out.

Poor Quality

Rubber on front was compromised after 4 days of light trail walking. I would not recommend for actual hiking or trail walking. Feels like quality control is way off

Good Boots

I bought these about a month ago and so far they are great. I wear them every day for long dog walks, often in wet grass. Feet stay totally dry. They are lightweight and comfortable and look good. Not cheap but very happy with them so far.

Ready For Outdoor Action

Comfortable, well made good looking, quality boot.

Speed Lace Hook Poor Design

The comfort and quality of the boot itself is a 5 star but the speed lace hooks and laces are a 1 star. The speed lace hooks have an extra part that makes them narrow and much harder to hook defeating the purpose of speed lace hooks. Not so speedy as they don’t always hook on first try with sometimes 3 or 4 attempts at hooking properly. The laces are very thin and i know they are thin due to design of the speed lace hooks and that could make them wear out faster. Very poorly designed speed lace system for an otherwise great design. Would highly recommend that merrell redesign this boot with the normal style speed lace hooks with heavier laces.

Norway Cruise

I recently wore these boots on our shore excursions in late January and early November. There was lots of snow and ice as well as sub freezing temps, but the boots were very comfortable and my feet were never cold and the footing in the rugged conditions was outstanding.

Thumbs Up!

After putting a pair of round shoe laces in, now they are perfect!

Fantastic!

Great fit, comfortable from the start, waterproof as stated & warm on cold winter days
