My Merrill’s were great for hiking without having to break them in. They are supportive and comfortable and we’re able to grip the terrain I was hiking….both rock and gravel.
Best buy some shoe goo glue to go with these. My last pair of merrels had the sole pealing within 10 miles
Me and my boy went hiking in Pinecrest ca. shoes did their job. Great hiking shoe
These are the only hiking shoes I’ll ever buy, and imo, they are grossly underrated. Extremely comfortable out of the box with little to no break-in needed. I’ve have run multiple pair into the ground and do not intend on stopping. Excellent product, the vibrams are sticky, and the gore Tex membrane keeps your feet dry. I’ve taken these in snow, mud, desert, clay and to my ex, Just wish they sold the Gore Tex at the retail level so I didn’t have to wait on shipping lol.
Overall, a good shoe. I am disappointed in the sizing / fit. I wear a men's size 12. I recently purchased a pair of Moab 3 Waterproof (NOT Gore-Tex) and there is a distinct difference in fit. The toe box in the GoreT-Tex is "sloppy" as you might be able to see in the photos. The fit in the Moab 3 Waterproof is spot on. It's as if the 2 pair are different sizes. Not sure what to do, but Merrell asked me to rate the shoes, so I did.
Comfortable Shoe. Only had one day where it rained. Wasn’t really enough to test the Gortex though. I bought for this trip and will save them only when I go on vacation. The only reason I didn’t give a 5-Star was due to fabric bunching up above the heal. I didn’t feel it, but believe they should do a better job of securing it to the liner or whatever is under it.
I live in Minnesota aka,”MinneSnowta” , there was a lot of times during the season my Merrill Moab 3’s were tried and tested; weather it was Ice, snow or slick conditions I felt confident and comfortable.
I visited New York in October. I walked 120,000 steps in three days and felt comfortable in these sneakers.
They are bothering me and I cannot wear them. They also make crunchy sound.
Instantly comfortable and waterproof, these came to Ireland with me and were just perfect. I wear these to the gym, to garden, to the store, just about everywhere.
