Merrell Mens Moab 2 Waterproof

Great hiking boots, I wear them all day. Very comfortable and helpful on my back and feet. I'm a little beat up from the years. Great quality should last several years and I am rough on my shoes. My son wants a pair and this might be the only show I buy from now on, impressive.

I have owned Moab Ventilator low tops, Ventilator 2 low and mid and Ventilator 3 mid waterproof. As well as a few other Merell models. In my opinion the Moab Ventilator 2 mids are the best of them all. My previous shoe was the Moab Ventilator 3 mid water proof. I did not like them nearly as much as the Ventilator 2 mids. Even though they are not waterproof, the non-waterproof Ventilator 2 does a better job keeping my feet dry because they wick moisture away better than the waterproof Ventilator 3 did. Walking through small puddles, which I usually try to avoid anyway, the waterproof 3s stay dry, but for me it is the superior wicking performance of the non-waterproof 2s that is more important to me. I may one day try the non-waterproof 3s in the future, but for now I am very happy with the Moab Ventilator 2 mids. The Moab Ventilator 2s are one of the most comfortable shoe I have owned. They are also very durable. I generally get about 2 years out of a pair that I use daily.

Great boot, well worth the $

I’ve never owned Merrell boots before and I was surprised how comfortable these were right out of the box. I’ve been wearing these for a week now and I honestly don’t have anything negative about them. Only thing I maybe would nitpick is the insole isn’t the best. I’ve since replaced it like I do in all of my boots though. I ordered these in a size 11 wide and they are def wide which I like.

I have the low top shoe in the same size, but in regular width. (Stores never carry wide width shoes for my flintstone feet.) I LOVE my Merrell shoes but wanted some hiking shoes. I ordered the same size, but this time in Wide (2E). The fit is fantastic. At first they felt cavernous in the toe area, but then I remembered that when I first got my low tops I almost couldn't wear them with socks. To Merrell's credit, my duck feet stretched those shoes out to where they now feel like slippers, and the shoes did not fail. They stretched out in all the right places and now they are like old friends. These hiking boots came just right. They have infinitely more support than the low tops but feel very light on my feet. There is room inside if I want to add thicker cushioned insoles, something that would be a total non-starter in my regular width low tops.

These fit well comfortable hikers

I started out with an 11.5W, as so many shoes these days seem to run too small. I returned those and bought the 11w size, which fit perfect. Quality seems very high, and looking forward to many miles hiking in these. UPDATE: now have had them for a while, including 2 weeks on Safari in Africa and I'm very happy. Great quality and craftsmanship, not junk like so many cheaper brands. I took the advice of another reviewer and replaced the inner foot liners with some Dr Scholl's gel comfort ones, and it made these boots comfortable to wear all day. I'm now a Merrell shoe fan for life.

An excellent take on the lightweight hiking boot. If you've ever had to slog miles wearing heavy mountaineering boots, you won't believe how light these are. I can't attest to their durability, as their construction makes them only a single /shoulder season boot and they required no break-in period whatsoever. Your feet WILL get wet if you wear these in wet conditions or bushwack through marshes or tall grass, but they dry quick. The weakest link in these is the lacing system. After fussing with where to tuck the unruly mess of laces and trial & error cinching, I threw away the stock laces and put in elastic laces with cord locks which work much better and faster. The other gripe is the insoles are pretty rigid and get slick with sweat. For the cost, Merrel shouldn't have skimped on the laces and insoles.

This boot is perfect for my wide feet. Well built and sturdy, yet light and stylish, and comfortable and cool to wear. Merrell size 11E hiking boots and shoes feel like they were custom made for me.

Hiked 168kms through the jungle, mud, rain, sand, then mountains and rocks. Excellent grip, no sore feet. Impressed!

Like these boots! Took wide to add insoles since I like it more cushioned
