⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wore these straight out of the box to the Northwoods of Wisconsin Camping In My Van for 7 nights & 6 days with Merino Wool medium weight socks. Temperature was 80 degrees warmest down to 32 degrees. Very comfortable, good ankle support, overall a good hiking boot. The Rig 🚐🛣️🏕️🇺🇲✌🏼
I just finished section hiking the Appalachian Trail over the last 11 years and MOABs are my footwear of choice. I do lots of hiking and backpacking and wear out a pair per year. I keep a new pair ready to go still in the box in my closet. Always catch them on sale. That said 3 recent pair have came apart at the sole in less than 100 miles one was a warranty replacement for a pair that did the same. Merrell is very unhelpful with any warranty claims. I have only had one pair replaced in all of the pair’s I’ve had the same problems with some of course were MOAB 2 s. That said I recommend these boots. Buy them on sale. Never expect warranty service and you will love them. I use special insoles not the factory ones.
Literally wore them out of the box with no break in. Very comfortable hiking in the Adirondacks.
They feel very good I climbed about 1000 vertical feet yesterday in them
If you like wet feet for the price then this a boot for you. I absolutely hate having wet feet and 6 months of ownership and these boots have leaked constantly. I don't recommend this boot if you want dry feet. Walking in light rain today and my feet were cold and soaked. I'll be looking elsewhere for waterproof boots next time. This is my second pair of Moab's, the first were great, can't say the same about these.
These Merrell Moab 3 Mid GTX Hiking Boots are replacing a pair of Vasque MX Sundowner boots that my older adult feet have grown out of. The Merrell's are lighter, need minimal break in and fit well out of the box.
Awesome boots for hiking. I have 2 pairs of these, I took the walnut colored pair with me to Gatlinburg Tennessee and had my feet had a great time, walking & hiking the smoky mountains in these boots
Walked all over Germany with them and my feet were always warm and dry.
I am on my 4th pair of these now. As an avid Geocacher I am out daily on trails, bushwacking through woods, reveans and all kinds of slippery rocks! The body of the shoe never wears out! BUT the soles are shot within 9 to 10 months of daily use. They can get very warm in the summer, but that is a cost I am willing to put up with to protect my ankles! I have had all 3 of the models and if you are serious about keeping your feet dry the Gor-tex is the only way to go! With all that said, Pike's peak is the highest they have been.
Bought these last year, but just started wearing them. Quite comfortable right from the get go, however after only 2 weeks of wear one of the material eyelets broke. Now just waiting for the rest of them to break or tear. I will not be buying Merrell footwear with these type of eyelets ever again. I do not recommend these to other consumers.
