MerrellMen's Moab 3 Tactical Industrial Shoe

Q: are these exactly the same as moab 3 hikers? they look heavier

We never had the hiking ones so I really can't say for sure. But each shoe weighs 1.4 pounds, not 3 pounds total. My husband loves these shoes has them in tan and black. He used them all the time for the tactical swat team for his job. He can wear them for extended periods of time and doesn't feel weighed down as with other boots. I hope that helps.
