MerrellWomen's Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Hi, my Keen Targhee 2 hiking boots got snagged and I needed a replacement. I wanted a sturdy boot with good support. I needed less sturdiness, but a lot of support and impact absorption, as I had injured my ankle and needed some "give" and not something so snug. I heard these Merrills were super popular and with less sturdiness and ankle support, exactly what I needed at this time, so gave the Merrills a try. I bought granite as everything else sold out in my size (8 wide) around the holidays. When I first looked at the Color granite, it looked "boring sneakers" (especially with the Blue jeans I wear) and not my typical Brown ones that just screamed "hiking boots" with more flash...what I usually wear. These Granite colored ones looked like very low key sneakers, the other Merrill Colors scream more of typical hiking boot, most especially the Brown ones like "Bungee cord" or "Braken Purple". anyway, I was going to need these boots, most especially to wear on my other uninjured foot to provide some rock solid support and stability. What really pleased me was unlike the Keens, these were so much lighter, almost like I was wearing nothing at all. They are waterproof, and really worked out when I was watering the plants on the patio with a leaky water hose. Because they provided the support, grip (the special Verbam sole did not slip at all anywhere!!), were very lightweight, easy on my overworked foot, and I had to wear them everywhere I walked, I appreciated that the Colors were more muted. So, it worked out well. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased. These are great everyday "shoes" (hiking boots with give on the ankle, that looked like GREAT SHOES with no slippage, great absorption of Impact, and lots of stability), I appreciated being able to wear them everywhere and it provided all the stability, lightweight, waterproof, non-slippage, and Impact absorption. I needed for my overworked...one working foot, as my other foot healed in a cast. I felt no hesistation using these with crutches all the time. After over a month of using the boot so much, it still feels as good as day one. This speaks to the quality of craftmanship. Incredible. Mind you, I never used these boots on the trail. I'm looking forward to in hopefully a few weeks. I will probably walk on a flat trail with minimal rocks, and I'm sure these will work out and be perfectly fine. Thank you Merrill for such fine footwear.

I love the Merrell Moab 3 trail shoes. They fit as expected. The higher-top boot has a clean look and provides great stability and foot protection. I am looking forward to seeing their degree of waterproof vs. water resistance. They have a stiff feel, yet in my experience, this is wearable and comfortable. If they hold up like my previous pair, they will be durable. My only issue with this shoe is that the round laces tend to come undone easily, which can be good or bad. I advise double knotting. I plan to wear them out.

I was a little nervous to order my regular size (9W) because of reviews suggesting to size up. However, based on the size chart provided, I decided to stick with 9W — and I’m glad I did! They fit perfectly with plenty of toe room. I haven’t used them for hiking yet, but so far they are very comfortable. The color is a bit different than pictured, but still very cute. I’ll update once I put them to the test on the trails!

Fantastic hiking boots! Great support all around my feet and ankles. Some reviewers have noted a “hard bump/lump” and found it uncomfortable. The arch support in the boots are exactly where they need to be, so I do not find them uncomfortable. For reference, I wear a size 5.5 M width in Nike Women’s running shoes and I ordered the 5.5 M width in the hiking boots. I tried them on with the yoga/pilates socks since I was already wearing them when I opened the box. I did not find it uncomfortable or tight, they feel nice. I can get thinner socks if I want a little more room, but the fit is perfect and I do not anticipate blisters since my feet will not slide around inside the boots. I find the toe bed comfortable, too. Not tight at all! I am extremely pleased with this purchase.I purchased my husband the same model boots, in Men’s and the sizing was correct for him, as well. He loves his boots for the same reasons I indicated above. He has also noted that he feels he stands up straighter and his posture is better when wearing his boots.Overall all, very comfortable, extremely well made, excellent quality, excellent soles, and made to last.

I really like these, comfortable and work well! I have only used them 5 times, so we will see how long they hold up!

Estas botas son excelentes, cómodas y de buen agarre. Tengo unos Merrell Moab 2- Zapatos de senderismo desde hace 4 años muy buenos que aún uso, por esa misma razón quise comprarme estas botas para tener una mayor seguridad en los tobillos y definitivamente estas botas son la mejor elección. Además que estaba en una promoción increíble, aparte de prácticas son muy bonitas. Quedé muy Feliz con mi compra.

These are great. So comfortable from day one. I normally wear a 6.5, sometimes a 7. I got the 7 wide because sometimes shoes like this feel a little tight in the toe region, and I was planning to wear hiking socks with them. They are a little roomy in the toes but very comfortable. They made it great through the rain and mud at Machu Picchu with good traction. Good ankle support. And they’re even cute. I’m a huge fan!

These hiking boots are superb!! They fit perfectly! So well made, so comfortable!! Simply superb!! Have worn Merrell hiking boots for years, know their quality well. I purchased previous pairs of Merrells from other companies that sold Merrell products. These days those vendors aren't selling Merrells, they are selling their own brand, which can't compare to Merrell!
