    Comments about Merrell Moab Ventilator Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

    Suggested by an associate at local REI. He has a closet full, customer just hiked all over Asia with them, blah, blah, blah. I needed a lightweight shoe that could handle the occasional tougher hike. Fit was great for my wide feet, but the shoes offer almost no support. Stepping on pointy rocks gives you a sharp poke in the foot. Descending wasn't too bad and traction was just ok unless you hit a wet rock or root, then horrible. The climb back out of the canyon was a nightmare. The hard support in the heel cup doesn't go up high enough and the hard edge digs into my heel when you are climbing. They broke in so much after the first 12 miles, they are just floppy and worthless as anything but wearing a fake hiking shoe around town. I wouldn't mow the lawn in these shoes. Going back to REI tomorrow.

      I walk/hike at least 20 miles a week, and do so at a very fast pace. These Merrill shoes are the best walking shoes I have ever owned; I use them for everything except moutanous, rocky terrain. I have but positives, including no break in, durability and quality, with not a single negative.

          This purchase is about my 5th pair of Moab Ventilators - I have also worn the low hikers. I have hiked at least a thousand miles on theses shoes - they last quite well through a couple hundred miles. Comfortable, durable and light!

            Ordered online without ever owning a pair or trying on. I've purchased Merrell products in the past and have been pleased with the overall quality. These particular shoes were a bit stiff at first, but have since broken in nicely. They will last and perform as expected. I like them and my opinion of Merrell is that they continue to produce quality products where you get what you pay for.

              Well made, comfortable and true to size. I wear them mostly for work, but they would be fine for light day hikes on intermediate terrain. I think the toe-box guard could be beefed up a bit to be more protective of the toes.

                Good for warm weather & very light loads.

                Not good for cold or wet, or when carrying lots of photo gear.

                Feet slid forward in thin socks and toes were pinched when going downhill.

                Good for wandering around warm areas. Will take them back to Joshua Tree NP.

                  I bought this shoe for my one day 16 mile Grand Canyon Hike, they preformed well. I should have bought the high top model because of the steepness of the terrain, I could not keep my feet from slidding forward on the decent but that was my fault not the shoe. Great value for the money!

                    I normally wear Keens, but after trying these Merrill's, decided to try something new. They were comfortable for the short while I tried , but the despite the ventilation, the shoes were incredibly warm. Didn't keep them.

                      Comments about Merrell Moab Ventilator Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

                      Bought this as a "sturdy walking shoe" for upcoming extended trip to Europe - purchase was made based on my previous experiene with the waterproof boot version of the Merrell Moab.
                      This shoe is very comfortable, but I have noticed that there is something in the heel that feels like two balls or prongs poking into your foot (noticed the same thing in the boot version and some other Merrels I've tried with their Air Cushion soles). At first I thought it was a problem, but the more I wear these shoes (and the boots) the more comfortable they are - it's almost like a 'mini massage'. May not be for everybody!
                      If you need extra arch support, this shoe was clearly designed for people with "normal" feet - bring your inserts/orthotics/supports with you when you try the shoes on to make sure you get the right size. Failure to do so will probably result in you finding that the shoes are too small/tight with the inserts in.

                      Not much ankle support - if you need that get the boot version of the Moab (also an awesome product that REI has).
                      Great traction on all surfaces (even in the wet).
                      I bought this "Ventilator" version specifically for summer use - so far my feet have been nice and toasty in the winter/spring weather so I hope these shoes aren't too warm in the summer (the waterproof boots were no problem in summer though so these should be just fine).

                      Good build quality, excellent design, and quality materials.
                      Ugly laces...
                      Overall great shoes that I would definitely buy again and recommend to anybody.
                      I give 'em a 4 out of 5 because nothing is perfect.
