Merrell Men's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe

The Merrell Moab 3 Hiking Shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn. Right out of the box, they required almost no break-in time and felt supportive, stable, and cushioned. Whether you’re walking trails, doing long days on your feet, or just wearing them casually, they stay comfortable from start to finish. The traction is solid, the build quality feels durable, and the fit is true to size. They offer great support without feeling heavy or bulky, which makes them perfect for both hiking and everyday use. If comfort is your top priority, these are an easy recommendation. A great all-around hiking shoe that delivers exactly what it promises.

Good fit, comfortable, wears well . Sole lasts a long time and price was very good. This is my 4 time buying this model of shoe.

High quality product and excellent fit. Can be tough to find an affordable hiking shoe in wide width so was pleased when I realized Merrell, a quality brand, offered a wide fit option. Very comfortable, even after a long day’s hike. Purchased for a four month trip to Europe and they are still as comfortable after 4 months as the first day. Thick soles with great grip/traction. The only negative is they are bulky so they took up a lot of space in luggage. Regardless, I would definitely buy again.

This is the third pair of Moabs that I’ve purchased in the past 4 years, so I’ve had a lot of experience with them. These shoes are cool and comfortable right from start and they have a tread that is substantial enough to allow you to walk along fairly steep inclines without having to worry about slipping. I’ve found that the last couple of pairs lasted about 18 months of hard every day use before the plastic bottoms became separated from the cloth uppers right up at the toe and spreading downward throughout the whole front of the shoe. (caulk and duct tape can solve the problem) Eighteen months of hard use is good enough for me. They will remain waterproof during a light rain but a heavy rain will leave your socks soaked within about ten minutes. Allow about two weeks for delivery.

Before I purchased this shoe on Amazon, I had been trying on different brands and styles of shoes at various stores. I knew I wanted something built with good materials that would last me several years, look good with a variety of different clothing options, and work well for a wide variety of activities including hiking, working out, walking around all day, etc., and also at a good price. I'm not a fan of spending tons of money on several different pairs of shoes tailored to each individual activity. I found a pair of these at a store and really liked how they looked and fit. My foot fits well in the size I purchased, and there is some arch support as well, but not overpowering. I've never has a pair of Merrell's before, but they're known for good quality and these shoes look and feel like good quality. They have real leather, thick tractiony soles, an agressive look, and tons of color options. I've worn them for a couple of weeks and they feel great. The best part was the price. At the store I tried them on at, they cost $120. Then I checked on Amazon and they had my size for under $60. I noticed the price was different depending on size, and possibly color, with some of them costing as much as $120. I'm not sure why this is. You might want to select different options before purchasing to see if one size or color is a better price. They are also probably a bit heavy for people that want something really light for running or working out, but for me it just makes my workout a little more challenging. It's not supposed to be easy, right? Other than that, there were a couple of other little issues I should mention. For some reason, the shoe I got looked like a lighter shade than what was pictured. Then I held the shoe up next to the picture, and they looked the same color. It may be that the pictures were taken under different lighting conditions that made them seem a bit darker, I don't know, but I've seen other reviews that say the color is different, and I thought so too until I held them right next to each other. A trick of the mind. The last issue is size, and this is the most important. I'm glad I tried them on at a store first, because I generally wear a 10-1/2, sometimes an 11. At the store I needed an 11-1/2, but they fit perfectly! I ordered an 11-1/2, and again they fit perfectly. So I would probably order one size large if you want them to fit. On a last note, I liked these so much that I ordered another pair of a different color. I felt like these were such a great shoe at such a great price, it was well worth it to have a second pair. These will probably last me a good 10 years between the two.

Let me start by saying that I am very particular about shoes and boots. I have unusually shaped, wide feet, which means I have the hardest time finding footwear that I not only like but are comfortable. I usually have to put everything I buy on a boot stretcher just so my foot fits in them right (I also have to put new insoles in everything). A lot of the guys at work wear Merrel and I figured I'd give them a shot. When I say these shoes are amazing, comfortable, and look good on my feet, it's no small statement for me. These shoes fit comfortably right out of the box! I can't remember the last brand (that wasn't a flexible/stretchy running shoe) for which I could say that! I highly recommend them to anyone who has problems finding the right shoe for their feet. For reference, I am 5' 10", 210 lbs, and my usual size is 12 W or Extra Wide. I got them in size 12 wide, and I am extremely happy with my purchase!

I've owned many pairs of Merrell's over the decades, for everything from hunting to walking to hiking. I'm currently on my 3rd or 4th pair of Maob 3's (I lose count - but I DO know I'm 73) that I wear hiking. The Moabs will not wear out, as the pics show, despite daily 3 mile hikes on the rocky, steep trails behind my house here in the Santa Rosa San Jacinto mountains. Hiking can be hot here in the desert, and the Moabs breath well. My wife had been hiking with me in a pair of high-end leather hiking boots, and when I convinced her to try these, she was amazed at the difference. I occasionally refer to her as 'my Imelda Marcos' due to her extreme obsession with shoes. She spent a lot of her time on her feet in business and was constantly on the hunt for something presentable and comfortable, as a closet full of purchases can attest. And while these Moabs won't work for even business casual, on the trails she says they're the best she's had. I can attest that they're comfortable from day one if sized correctly, as I just returned from my first hike in this new pair. My feet are a mess due to osteoarthritis, with crooked toes and other issues, and I wear an 11 W with the broad toe box providing excellent comfort despite the physiological problems. Uphill sections are a breeze, and while downhill sections require more focus and care, especially at my age with two artificial knees, I still pass others who are experiencing worse traction than these Moabs provide. Don't get me wrong, I'm still careful, but the traction is excellent even in scree with proper precaution. I'm attaching pics of the previous 2 pairs along with the new pair. The old ones will become work shoes around the yard - there's nothing wrong with them other than I wear the tread off on the abrasive terrain the dog and I cover. The shoes don't break down, lose stitches, or otherwise degrade appreciably - I just have to renew them every year or two for fresh tread compound. I bought this pair last week and the price just went up - I should've bought two pairs! Oh well...

I just got these shoes the day before the winter storm hit DC with snow and ice. I typically wear an 11.5 extra wide so was afraid these would be too narrow. BUT it is an excellent fit. 11.5 W feels roomy. Toe box is comfortable. These shoes are warmer than expected but my feet are not sweaty, they are dry. The Cushion feels amazing. I usually replace the insoles with SuperFeet insoles, but the insoles that came with the Moabs is perfect for my feet. I suffer from foot pain at times and i have been wearing these all day for two days and feel fine. The tread is really great. I didn't slip at all in the snow and ice today (10 inches and sleeting now). I feel like these shoes are going to work out great for everyday walking and trails. Considering getting a second pair with the waterproof membrane, but feet are still dry after an hour in sleet and snow. Would Highly recommend.
