Got a pair of these after seeing positive reviews online. Fit great right out of the box and didn’t seem to require breaking in, but I got them about a month before a big trip to Iceland so they got worn on a few local hikes/walks just to be sure. In Iceland, the hiking boots were comfortable in the airport, driving, walking the trails, rocky beaches, rain or shine. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
Good stable hiking footwear. Solid base and good ankle support. Super comfortable with good wool socks. Hiked several moderately challenging trails in and around Big Bend National Park. Everything from desert to rocky to somewhat mountainous terrain. Performed well climbing moderate mountain rocky ascents as well and climbing back down. Trekking on rocky trails was very stable as well. Stayed dry along the banks of the Rio Grand while soaking my headgear for temperature control. This is my second pair.
Bought these for my trip to the mountains. Couldn't ask for better performance. Kept my feet dry while stomping thru creeks, and kayaking. They stuck to the ground as i navigated rocks, cliffs, and forested trails. They were comfortable while i was riding horses, and stylish enough for a night on the town. Couldn't be happier.
Thank you for sharing your great review!
These are everyday boots for me. Good support and comfort.
We love happy feet!
I bought the Gore-tex version of these last summer and finally had an opportunity to use them on a day hike (just a little over 12km round trip). The boots are super comfortable and require no break in time. The majority of the hike was through knee high snow and a few water crossings. They had great traction, were supportive and completely waterproof. I highly recommend these boots.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
Traveled around Australia's outback. These hiking boots (Moab 3 Waterproof) stood up to rugged terrain both dry and wet. Stayed comfortable the entire time. Gave me the ankle support I needed.
Thank you for your rating!
Great boot for a wide forefoot. Doesn’t pinch my neuromas. Used them in Vermont and Adirondacks. Kept my feet dry without being hot and sweaty. Excellent traction.
The most comfortable boots i own,excellent traction on the trails and rocks. I would recommend these.
After doing some research I decided to go with the Moab 3 Mid Waterproof. I’ve been wearing them now for about 3 months. The boot has surprisingly held together well and is very comfortable, but sadly to say the waterproof side of the boot is non existent. I’m an animal caretaker/zookeeper and within 30 minutes of walking through the grass first thing in the morning my toes are completely soaked. The grass only being an inch taller than the toe of my boot.
Pls DO NOT buy these boots. I used them for exactly 7 days and chunks of the sole started falling apart. This is not what I would have expected from a Vibram soled boot. The waterproofing on the boots worked well, but the super-accelerated wear on the soles was very disappointing. REI was very gracious in accepting the return without any fuss. Not recommended.
