Merrell Men's Moab 3 Waterproof Hiking Shoe

I purchased these ahead of a weeklong trip to Switzerland/France. The forecast showed rain each day (accurate), but I wasn't going to let that stop us from exploring the sights. These shoes worked out perfectly - they were comfortable enough for multi-mile walking days, and kept my feet dry the whole time. I have wide feet, and they fit great. Also have flat feed, and they worked great with my orthotics (I have worn them since with the included insoles, and have not had any issues with arch support for moderate usage. They are stylish enough that I could wear them for all activities (though you'd probably want something else for a really fancy outing).

The Merrell J035849 Moab 3 Waterproof in Boulder, Size 9M, is a versatile, well-rounded hiking boot that lives up to its reputation. It’s an excellent choice for casual hikers, weekend adventurers, or anyone needing a dependable all-purpose boot for trails with moderate to heavy obstacles. While it’s not the lightest or most specialized option, its blend of comfort, waterproofing, and traction at a reasonable price makes it a standout. If you’re a Size 9M with average feet and want a boot that’s ready to hit the trail without fuss, this is a strong contender. Just be mindful of the break-in period if you find it stiff at first, and consider your needs if you hike in consistently muddy or extreme conditions where lighter or more aggressive boots might edge it out. I give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Very comfortable, well made, durable, affordable---just a good buy

There's a reason this is the Number One hiker. They are super comfortable yet supportive, light, and have great grip. I'm a life long avid hiker, and swear by Merrill's, the nearest typical competitor are the Keen's which are heavier, clunkier, and frankly rather precious these days with the message printing on the insoles and the overall crunchy granola attitude of the company. Just give us a sold, well made boot at a reasonable price..wait, Merrill does that. Highly recommended, get the waterproof version for added protection .

I saw others wearing these and I needed a light Hiker. I love the vibram sole. Laces up easy for quickness. These are a Hiking shoe, so those of you looking for sneaker-softness might have to swap in a gel sole, or look elsewhere. this is a hiker! The bed fit my foot well so I didn't need that. It's well made! The only problem I have is that they are just a tiny bit small from front to back. I'm a guy with a longer index toe, so if you'e not one of those, you will probably have a better fitting that way. I can't go any bigger without sacrificing overall fit. Still, it's not a game-stopper as long as I lace up properly and wear good socks. I think I will have these for a long time.

I’ve had these shoes for a while now and most definitely put them thru their paces. They are as comfortable and supporting as the day I started wearing them. The size I purchased is 12, and they fit exactly as I expected they should. The color is grey and understated, which is what I prefer in a daily shoes. They have excellent slip resistance and the waterproof is working well. Shoe is a definite buy again for me 2hen I want another pair.

I've had these shoes for almost a year now and came back to right a review...that should tell you something! They've been great. Over the past year, I've put a lot of miles on them camping and around town. (They are a hiking shoe with a fairly rugged appearance; so my wife usually grimaces when I wear them around town.)The first week I had them was spent at Boy Scout camp in OK. They were good in the peak of summer heat & humidity. But they've really been at their best in wet weather. The waterproofing has kept my feet dry in rain, mud, and standing water.They have begun to show minor signs of normal wear and tear, but I'm not gentle on my shoes and could really stand to take better care of them. Overall, they're comfortable, fit true to size, and perform perfectly in all conditions. I highly recommend them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought as a gift and they are true to size. My son-in-law says they are very comfortable and they wear well.
