Merrell  Moab Speed 2 Leather Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's

Lacing these up for their second use and the loop separated from the shoe. Looking closely, it only appears as if there was one thread attaching it in the first place. Yikes! I've had great experiences with Merrell's in the past. Not sure if these were assembled in a new factory, quality control missed it, or if it is just bad luck. Disappointed and only good thing is that it happened right after receiving versus further down the road.

These supportive mid-height waterproof (only up to your ankles) hiking boots with a Vibram sole will go for miles on every Rocky Mountain National Park trail and beyond. Great for smooth trails and I have also run with them. No break-in required. I got the Cobalt and people say I have cool shoes. These feel like I’m not even wearing shoes. (BETA: LOWA CAMINO GTX, 14 Colorado 14ERS later without a blister. These are that).

First time getting an opportunity to hike in these boots and they just were outstanding dream was no issue no slip issue on rocks no issues navigating through some down trees and mud.

I bought both this mid boot and unfortunately will be returning it as in the upper cuff of the boot there is a seam that is behind the second lace loop from the top that just cuts into your ankle. I tried with thicker socks and no matter how loose I tied the boots in certain angle it was still there. I even went into the store and checked out the display boot and it had the same issue. I only wore these inside walking up and down stairs for about an hour and started to give me a blister feeling. Reading through other review it sounds like maybe a couple others have experienced similar as well. This really was a very comfortable boot other than that spot on both my ankles, but after an hour just inside I couldn’t stand the feeling. I would buy again if Merrell fixed that seam and found a way to eliminate it.

Bought these as a work shoe as I work in hvac and am anywhere from rooftops to crawl spaces, outdoors in the woods to city sidewalks. They are very comfortable and keep my feet dry in the rain and breathe enough so I don’t sweat like crazy in the hot attics. The sole has enough grip to keep me from slipping on wet banks. I feel like I have some extra spring in my step with the thick cushiony heel on these boots. My only complaint is the elastic cord for the lace eyelets. On the left boot the cord is cut too long inside the shoe and if my foot is pressed up against anything on the outside it hurts. Other than that I’m very pleased.

I bought these in April, 2025 and may be my 10th pair of Merrell's in the last 20 years. I have three more Merrell’s in my closet including another color of these because the ankle support is so good. But this pair has been leaking in the toe area unlike any of my others even though there are no obvious flaws. I am not rough on my shoes since I’m 5’10”, 170 lbs., 75 and do light yard work. Color me extremely disappointed that these are only summer shoes after 6 months of light wear in mostly dry weather.

I bought one pair and liked them so much I bought a second. A bit pricey, but the tan color was on sale. Great fit - combines excellent cushioning with great support. Super comfortable traversing steep, difficult terrain. And waterproof. Note I bought the second pair not due to wear. But rather because Merrell sometimes changes shoes so much from season to season that a shoe you love one year may be a total non-option in its next version. Witness what Merrell did to ruin the Chameleon in out years

I bought these for a hiking trip as a novice, and wanted something I could also use for rainy city commutes. These boots are exactly what I was looking for - I hiked 20 miles of rocky, snowy mountain trails and my feet never hurt, the waterproofing is excellent and my feet were never wet hiking through snow or on rainy days in the city. One caution - these are fairly low, so your ankles might get a little wet when walking for a while in the rain, but it’s worth the low profile style. I wear a 10 running shoe and a 9.5 fit perfect. I will be coming back to Merrell for all my hiking needs in the future!
