I bought these last minute and I’m so glad I did, they’re super comfortable and I was sure of my step. They’re the cutest! Best purchase

My Go To Boot For Outdoor Projects

My go to boot for lots of outdoor heavy work clearing invasives and hauling brush. Warm when I need them to be and not sweaty when working hard. Good support and traction (have high arches). Always dry in wet conditions. Actually the support breaks down sooner than the boots fall apart. Insoles then help them last longer. Well worth the money.

Study, Comfortable, And Waterproof

I always wear Merrill shoes for hike many years. This shoes is study, comfortable, and waterproof. I wear this shoes hiked TMB under dry and wet condition (mild rain for hours, twice), it is study, comfortable and approved it is waterproof. I am very happy with this, not feeling wet at all. I hope it can last relatively longer.

A Step Up In Size, And A Much-needed Tread Refresh

Merrell Women's Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hikers, Coal/Mauve My new Moab 3 Mid Waterproof hikers replace an older pair of Moab 3 Mid hikers that have been around since dinosaurs ruled the earth. LOL. Apparently, I got my money's worth out of that last pair! I normally wear a women's size 10, and my previous hikers were also a size 10. After reading reviews suggesting that sizing up a half size might provide a better fit, I ordered these in a size 10.5, medium width. Glad I did! The fit is excellent. Before retiring the old pair, I compared the two. One thing that caught my attention was the placement of the toe area. The top of the toe box on the new 10.5 was in about the same position as it was on my old size 10. That helped confirm that going up a half size was the right decision. The other comparison was a real eye-opener. Looking at the bottom treads side by side, I realized just how much wear the old pair had accumulated. Apparently, I should have replaced those hikers years ago! I use these shoes for everyday activities, not just hiking. That includes photographing outdoor events where I spend plenty of time walking and standing in grass and fields, as well as winter home snow-clearing operations. Waterproofing, traction and comfort all matter. One other thing worth mentioning: I have heavier calves, and some mid-height hikers make my lower legs look like tree trunks. I'm happy with the height and overall appearance of these. They provide the coverage I want without coming too far up my leg. The Coal color with mauve accents is also a nice combination. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase. The half-size increase was a good decision, the medium width fits well, and I'm looking forward to putting these new hikers to work. Hopefully, I won't wait quite as long to replace this pair!

Reliably Comfortable

My Moab’s—every pair I’ve bought so far—are comfortable from the moment I put them on. They are indeed durable, and the traction is great. But I especially love them for their reliable comfort. No matter how long or arduous the hike, no matter how much my feet sweat, my Moabs remain comfortable.

Comfy

I have hiked about 20 miles in these boots so far and mostly on dry rocky trails. They're comfortable and lightweight. They seem sturdy with good soles that grip rock pretty well. I do think I will get insoles for extra cushion.

Must Have

I bought these to go to Watkins Glen State Park, New York to hike through the Gorge waterfall Which I was told Can get quite slippery. Not only did these shoes have great tread. My feet felt amazing the entire time which is so rare. We walked for hours from the top to the bottom and then with no shuttle, we walked from the bottom to the top. I am now going to order a pair of sneakers

2nd Pair- If It Works Don’t Switch

This is my 2nd pair… virtually no break in period. So happy with these boots.

Very Comfortable!

I bought these for hiking in Switzerland. Very comfortable!

Product Quality

Plastic sole cracked and broke off rest of the shoe my local cobbler said a glue would probably not work just know shoes don't last

Disappointed

Disappointed, I’ve been wearing Merrells for maybe 20 yrs and they were always a comfort… I’ve had this exact boot before. This new boot is stiffer, it fights my foot instead of wrapping it in comfort. Perhaps the biggest issue is the massive arch support, that they’ve somehow managed to put slightly too far back… when I tried on the boot I immediately thought I’d be returning because of the extremely painful assault on my arch. I detest returning online items 😞 so instead, I removed the molded insole and replaced it with a soft flat liner i purchased at my local pharmacy. The boots are wearable now, but still, the stiffness and that arch support cause issues. I used to hike a solid day in my old Merrels … those days are over. I will get use out of these, but certainly not the all day wear my old pair provided. When it comes time for a new hiker sadly I will have to explore other options outside of Merrel.

Faithful Fit With Every Order

I replace my hiking boots about every 2 years and it is always Merrill! Last week, I took them out of the box and hiked the 7 mile mountain trail. Perfect!!

Mid Boot

These are just OK. I got wide with and I finally believe I do not have a wide foot. They aren’t as compressed as I like my hiking boots. They seem flimsy. This is my first pair of Merrells. Hiking boots I’ve owned before are Columbia, On Cloud, and Oboz and they all have this solid outer structure that I like in a hiking boot that these Merrells didn’t have. They also feel light on the cushion. Idk how far I can trek in these without foot pain.

Still Solid Boots

Bought these again since my old moabs started falling apart after a good decade of use. Had to size down as apparently the boots are made bigger now, but otherwise these are just as reliable and comfy as my old ones.

So Disappointed

These are super cute shoes. Love the color. These days I have very wide feet and these actually accommodate width well. That has not been the case with all of my other recent Merrell wide buys. I have always had a good quality hiking shoe and I recently just purchased my 'go-to' brand (not Merrell) in more of a sneaker style, but was worried their wide size would still be too narrow. It arrived and it actually works great and the quality is not a disappointment (whew!) But I decided to go ahead and purchase these Moab 3 mid for more ankle support, they had good reviews and the price was quite a bit less than my others (though these are quite expensive for what they are). As much as I love everything else about this hiking 'boot' (color, width, comfort in everything but the sole), the soles are incredibly uncomfortable and have zero support. It feels like I am walking on rocks. My feet ache a little bit just from walking on my driveway 30 min after taking them off. The way I used to hike, I would never in a million years ever keep these. I wouldn't recommend taking them on anything other than an easy and smooth trail... most definitely, not any moderate, difficult or rocky hikes. But with all of my injuries (including really bad ankles and balance issues), I only do easy hikes these days and I think I will keep them and give them a try for light walking/'hiking' and possibly try getting an orthotic cushion insert. But what a huge disappointment. Merrell shoes used to feel very supportive and comfortable, not the case any longer. I would have given these 1 star, but I like everything else about them. But they are far too expensive to have to try and buy an insert to make them useable.
