Merrell Women's Moab 3 Hiking Shoes

This hiking shoe is my new favorite! I usually like to put at least twenty miles on a new pair of shoes before I do any serious hiking or walking. These Merrell Moab 3 hiking shoes were delivered just two days before I left on a trip to Moab, Utah to do hiking in Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. I was only able to get about seven miles on these shoes before my trip. They fit perfectly and are true to size. No need to break in this shoe. The Vibram soles are amazing on my plantar fasciitis. I was able to hike to Delicate Arch and several other hikes. They had great traction on the slick sandstone. I put in about fifteen miles of hiking the first day in Arches NP. These shoes helped my feet feel their best. I have the Moab 2 Waterproof hiking shoes as well and I love them, but when I’m not in cold or wet climates, the waterproof shoes get too hot. These Moab 3 shoes are perfect for dry hiking. I put about thirty miles on them in three days of hikes, and my feet never got sore or even achy. I will definitely purchase these shoes again.

Purchased to take to Hawaii. And perfect right out of the box. Lightweight and very comfortable. Toe box wider than what I needed but extra room wasn’t a problem. 4th pair of Merrill’s. Highly recommend.

I love these hiking shoes. They were more expensive than I would have normally paid for a pair of shoes, but I used birthday money and they are so worth it. Very comfortable and supportive. Can fit 2 socks, but I would recommend getting the Merrell socks that are thicker and work perfect. The groves are deep so I do spend time getting mud (once dried) and rocks out of them. Love the neutral color as they will look good with multiple hiking outfits. Have worn them hiking and camping. Were very good for slip resistant on wet rocks up in Canada.

These are so comfortable! No break-in period needed. The color is different from what was pictured, but it's not that big a deal, especially since these were on a better sale than the color I actually wanted. I can really feel the arch support and they're great for Florida trails--so many roots.

They're a Good looking rugged shoe. Waterproof..Nice and wide enough for toes so they're not scrunched...So far pretty comfortable.. Gotta break in.. see once I have them longer...

These arrived right away, also perfectly packaged in their shoebox along with the wool socks I ordered at the same time, both in the same plastic mailer. I wasn't sure I would like the color, described as taupe, with the yellow/gold lace loops, thinking I might wish I had ordered a darker or grayish tone color with cool colored accents. But these are beautiful with a light celedon tint to the fabric and a lovely cocoa color to the leather accents. And th gold is very pretty next to these colors. Size was my biggest concern as there were so many varying reviews. Although I generally wear an 8-1/2 I decided to order a size 9. I put them on right away and thought they felt just right. Stood up and pressed my thumb on top of my big toe that stops right wh fabric upper and the black rubber toe meet. Toes are not jammed against the tip of the to area, wiggle room for all my toes but not too big or loose feeling. But the solid arch support does feel like it sits back a bit under my arch, not exactly center. So I was thinking I should order another pair in 8.5 to compare. But I am extremely pronated and a really good arch support can feel a little odd at first. I even asked my husband to confirm (he used to manage a sporting goods store and fitted many customers for the right shoes, etc.) He agreed they are not too big. So I think the 8-1/2 might be too snug, etc. I also have a very narrow foot, although with age that may not be quite as true as it once was? My foot does not slip at the heel so I think a half size up was the right decision.

I just got back from hiking in Utah National Parks and these hiking shoes were not only comfortable but they had great traction on the smooth rocks. I didn't slide once and was not in a rush to take them off at the end of the day. I have plantar fasciitis and they have great arch support. I had no pain or discomfort after a week of hiking. I only hiked about 6 miles in these before we left so they don't require much break in. They are true to size. I would highly recommend these hiking shoes.

Super comfortably, sturdy without being ridged (I bought these after trying and returning Dansko's which were SO ridged!). Beautiful color and great quality. I love that Merrill finally made a more feminine hiking shoe and I hope they make more! It doesn't sacrifice the quality, but definitely looks more girly than the grey styles they usually make. Very happy with my purchase. Also, I need a large toe box and wear size 11, and these worked great. (Again, Dansko's were awful toe-box-wise).
