Merrell  Moab Speed 2 Leather Waterproof Hiking Shoes - Men's

First off Merrell is my go to shoe/work shoe/boot. I do not stray from the brand that has pleased above and beyond with countless pairs of quality shoes and boots...... But about this particular shoe I found on clearance at a farm and tractor type store. I had previously never seen this particular shoe but purchased them knowing I wouldn't be let down. And after close to 2yrs of casual wear they are still holding up. My only issue is I wish the toe box area was easier to clean.... But its a shoe, they get dirty.... I repeat almost 2yrs with this pair of shoes that I switch out with my grey Alpines (also Merrell). I hate hearing people mad and disgruntle at my favorite shoe company. Not one issue on my end guys. Sending good vibes to the angry ones.... Honestly one of these days hopefully years from now, I'll be buried in a pair of Merrells.

I’ve owned these shoes for one year today and I wear these shoes almost every day hiking in the Rocky Mountains. They’re great for running on the trails with. Under certain conditions such as a lot of scree they two tend to kick out a bit. I started to notice around 210 miles on the shoes that on my right side heel the fabric is starting to wear out and have a hole.

Got these in low top. These are great! Coming off a pair of Moab 2 lows for hiking I feel these are a definite upgrade in looks and comfort. I think Merrell hit the nail on the head with the styling, I actually am tempted just to wear these as a daily without hiking in them, I don't want to get them dirty! They look fantastic with jeans. Also note that these leather ones are more comfortable than the Speed 2 Goretex version...I tried on that pair and the cut outs for the ankle were higher and rubbed my ankle. There is no rubbing on these, however they are slightly heavier than the Speed 2 goretex. I imagine because this uses leather.

These shoes are great as my daily workshoes on the dock or out landscaping. Great traction on multiple surfaces even if a little wet. Vibram tech on the sole keeps you going strong on the most rugged terrain. The leather material keeps your feet dry and adds durability to the shoe, but it does not provide breathability like other materials. I highly recommend these shoes for specific use, but if you plan to use them for extending hiking, I would choose a fabric material so you feet can breathe and not get overheated.

Just bought these from the rack and was really excited about them and after a mile or so light hike, they act like flip flops. The heel lock is almost non existent and I have previous Merrell moabs and they are not like this at all. If I hadn't already scoffed and muddied them I would probably take back. I like Merrell a lot and have for many many years, but the inconsistency is tough to deal with. Some things are great, some fall apart quickly, and some just don't function like they should. Anyways, I got the grey ones and love the look, will just have to continue to hike my old ones.

Poor quality; they started breaking down within the first week.

Color was much darker than in photo and I must have been sent a mismarked pair they were way too small

I have an identical pair in green synthetic fabric and they fit and feel great. I bought this pair thinking it would be good to have a leather, waterproof pair. This pair feels drastically different from the fabric pair. I thought that maybe the leather might take some break-in time, but this pair is so tight and uncomfortable even after several weeks that I am starting to wonder if the size is mislabeled. This is a shame, as the construction otherwise seems quite good. I will call to ask about returning them

Real talk people, seriously. I left a previous review asking how could you not like this shoe..... I love this shoe so much I've bought 2 more pair, 1 for work, 1 for after work. Its a different color but the same comfortable Merrell that I've always loved. I assure you I get nothing for talking them up, just really excited about this shoe. I have diabetic neuropathy and these shoes are the answer for a more pain free day... Buy a pair, you won't be disappointed.
