These are the lightest yet sturdiest and most comfortable hiking shoes I’ve ever worn! They are nice and wide in the toe box, have a well-cushioned sole and good ankle support. Looking forward to wearing them on the West Highland Way in Scotland in a couple of weeks.

I had such high hopes for these shoes but they do fall short in a few areas. Sole wise, they have great grip and I do not slip. I tested them by walking into a creek and they are DEFINITELY waterproof. They are comfy on 1-2 mile hikes but I worry for how they will be on long hikes, especially backpacking trips. They are pretty loose starting at the ankle on upwards causing the foot to slide around some. Also on the left shoe, because of the looseness, the side of the shoe digs into my body. I would worry it would cause sores or blisters. I want to love them but I need boots that can hold up for long haul multi day backpacking trips and I just don't think these can do that.

Versatile, Comfortable Boot
10 months ago
Love these boots! I started wearing these straight out of the box for my 2 week trip to Iceland. From city walks to hiking through snow, ice and creeks, these boots kept me warm, dry and comfortable. The GoreTex upper works extremely well, even when my foot got submerged in water. The traction was great for hiking up into the highlands and around the city. And the cushioning/materials kept my feet comfy and dry all day. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a versatile boot.

Pretty good after trying 6 boots
2 months ago
I bought 6 pair of boots to try on for Alaska and these are the only ones I kept. These are goretex and lightweight which i prefer, they seemed to be waterproof after a few rainy hikes, but even after one trail the black pair I bought are already discolored for good so I gave up trying to wash them. They stayed comfortable after a 30k step day and took no breaking in which is great. I recommend sizing up a half size. I wish they were a tad less boxy in the toe where they feel too spacious for me. I hope these last or will be disappointed in the price tag

GREAT BOOTS !
1 month ago
I bought these a couple months ago for my recent trip to Washington! I have plantar fasciitis and got these initially because they have a big toe box. Let me tell you, my feet felt great even after 20 miles of hiking numerous straight up and straight down hills. I got a 5.5 (which is usually my normal size), and I wasn’t disappointed at all. My feet felt great besides being on them everyday hiking the Washington mountains there was no plantar pain & I was able to get up the next day and have no issues! While the people I was with was having foot pain the initial day/rest of the week. I initially got them on sale! Even if they aren’t, they would be worth it ! (I got the purple/green)

Great boot- runs roomy
4 weeks ago
Great hiking boot! Took them out of the box on a week long trip to Iceland and they were comfortable from the start. Did a little scrambling and they felt sturdy and supportive. They also worked well for Icelands wet weather- my feet felt dry the entire week even though we got caught in the rain a few times. I wish I had bought a half size smaller though... I purchased my sneaker size, which is half a size up from my regular shoes, thinking the extra room would be better for tired feet but the toe box feels a little too roomy and my foot slips a little inside the boot while climbing down rocks.

An all-around great boot
1 year ago
Recently bought these boots, and hiked 10 miles this past weekend. These boots were comfortable and very light weight. These trails were uneven, muddy and rocky. I crossed a few creeks with no issues. I am a clumsy hiker and not once did I feel my ankle went unsupported. I definitely would recommend these boots! I can’t wait to try them on a 14er this summer.

Lightweight, roomy toe box, great ankle support
4 months ago
For an upcoming strenuous, 11-day hiking trip in Switzerland, I need a pair of waterproof boots with ankle support. My last ankle boots were REI brand and they've been discontinued. I was hoping to find some Oboz that would work b/c I have some Oboz light hikers that I like. In the past, I've also liked Vasque boots but REI doesn't seem to carry those anymore. All my past boots have in common that they have a roomy toe box, which I need because of a bunion at the base of my right great toe. The young lady who helped me in the Dublin store was very knowledgable and brought me about 6 pairs that fit my needs, including some Oboz and some more traditional looking Merrells. I struggled to decide between the traditional Merrells and these Moab Speed 2 boots. In the end, I went with the Moab Speed 2s. My first hike out, my feet felt hot and I was worried that the GoreTex was not breathable enough. Also, both my feet seemed to be swimming a bit in these size 8 shoes. (My street shoe size is usually 7.5 or sometimes 7). I tightened the laces quite a bit, so much that there is some puckering in the upper. In subsequent hikes including two times up and down Mt. Diablo - a 12 mile hike with some very steep sections and varied terrain including dirt, gravel, pavement, rocks, mud, running water, limestone, and sand. The boot performed great!! I have tried thinner and thicker socks and have not had any hot spots or blisters. No rubbing either. The top of my foot is not bothered by the tighter lacing, and I am still able to keep the toe box roomy for my bunion. Also, my feet have not been hot again after that first time. The tread had very good traction in varied conditions. Best of all, the boot is really light for its size. It feels more like a trail runner, but still has plenty of ankle support. I'm very happy with these boots. They are a great addition to my collection.

Love these!

Absolutely love these hiking boots. First time switching up from Hoka Trail Runners (for hiking) and I’m stoked. I had zero issues with them. Very comfortable, great grip, they’re waterproof so you can wear year round & they have great ankle support.

Very comfortable

I got it 4 days before the trip to Peru, so I didn’t have time to break in. I was in the Inka trail 4 days, went through steep rocky roads, jungle, light rain and so much more but these shoes was so comfortable, and perfect waterproof. Love it
