Great Shoe
October 09, 2010
I work for a large delivery company and needed a waterproof and comfortable shoe. A friend of mine said he lives in his Merrill shoes so I gave them a try. Right out of the box these shoes were the cats meow! Three weeks later and over 500 deliveries later they are now the most comfortable shoe I own! Well worth it!
High Quality boots, no break-in needed
September 13, 2010
Very happy with these boots, lightweight and comfortable right out of the box.
Good, light weight boot
September 08, 2010
This seems to be a good, light weight boot. I had them for about a week. I only wore them around the house in order to make sure they fit me right. I had to return them because they didn't fit me right, but there really wasn't anything wrong with the boot. I have an extremely difficult foot to fit because of Morton's Nueroma and the surgeries I have had to alleviate the pain. I usually have to try at least 8 - 10 different pairs of shoes before I find something that causes the least pain.
GREAT BOOTS A++++
August 14, 2010
After owning a pair of my own for almost 2 years I bought these for my husband who LIVES in his loggers! He wasn't aloud to take the loggers on our camping trip...he wore these all weekend and loved them! They're comfortable out of the box and his feet stayed dry in 3 days of rain! Tried them on in a store and then purchased from Altrec bc they were a lot less expensive. Fit is true to size for both of us!
Exceptional comfort with great ankle support.
August 12, 2010
Merrell products rock! Ready for a long hike straight out of the box. So comfortable, I wear them almost every day, all day.
Absolutley a great hiking boot.....
August 12, 2010
First time on I thought I had put on my oldest and most favorite boot on. The fit and comfort was a total surprise for a new boot. Just order another pair of low cut ventilator boots. Fully expect the same great fit and comfort.
Excelent buy for the price.

I am a 50+ urban dweller from LA. I purchased these boots 6 weeks ago with the intent to use them exclusively for hiking/backpacking on my trips to Switzerland in preparation for a hiking trip, I began wearing the boots three to four days a week anywhere from 10 to 12 hours a day just to make sure there were no break-in or fit issues. To date, I have found these boots to be extraordinally comfortable with plenty of room in the toe box even after having worn them all day. These shoes are what I can only describe as an easy and comfortable heel to toe motion when walking. After having spent the day hiking in these shoes, I noticed there was much less stress on my knees and ankles I find these my boot of choice when taking extended walks or hikes. The quality, construction and workmanship of the boot is outstanding. I have no doubt these boots will perform to my expectations when I hit the Jung Frau circuit trail this fall.
Awesome!!

I took these boots fresh out of the mail on a 22 mile hike through the Yellowstone backcountry. Never leaked an ounce (was wading through streams and had my boots in the lake part of the time). Very comfortable. I was the only adult in the group who didn't have blisters when it was done.
great fit
July 22, 2010
I am a fan of merrell products. I was looking for something with a little ankle support. love these boots. the fit is great and the support is better than I expected.

My husband loves them. This is his second pair. He wears them to work everyday!
great boots
July 13, 2010
fit about a half size too small, speed laces would be nice
Great boots
July 12, 2010
I use these boots to hike and camp. So far, they are great. They are very comfortable, and the Gore-Tex keeps my feet dry. I would recommend these
So far better than good
July 04, 2010
I recently purchased these boots for use while I work. I own my own lawn maintenance business in Central Florida where the rains are heavy, the sand is plentiful and where it gets miserably hot. I am on my feet a good 4-6 hours a day, and I do contend with high heat and humidity. They are true to fit, they are surprisingly breathable and thus far waterproof. I do work in extreme conditions and have yet to get caught in any heavy downpours with them on but as far as minor showers, puddles and wet grass these boots are doing a great job.
Comfortable and light
June 08, 2010
This is the first pair of Merrell shoes I have purchased. From a heavy hiking boot to these lighter shoes. So far they have been what I thought they would be. I haven't had much experience with waterproof capability yet. And you need a double knot so the thicker laces don't keep coming untied.
Good boot. Not always waterproof.
June 03, 2010
Despite being made of GTX, this boot is not *always* waterproof - or water resistant. I had to send the first pair back to Merrel, and they promptly exchanged it against a new pair, that is waterproof!
Luv my new boots!
May 19, 2010
I took my new Merrells out of the box and went on a 5 mile hike with my pack. My family is planning to do a lot of hiking an backpacking this summer so I was thrilled to discover how comfortable and supporting these boots are. Excellent support and traction and the wide width really fits my foot well. I'm very pleased so far and look forward to many happy miles ahead. Altrec had the best price I could find and I'm very pleased with their service.
Great Boot

light, comfy and looks great. Merrell's are always great.
3rd Pair - Gotta luv them!!!
May 12, 2010
This is my 3rd pair in 3 years. Use and abuse them both in the office and on the trail and they keep on truckin'! As long as Merrell keeps making this boot, I will keep on buying them.
Merrell Moab-Value, Comfort, Features
May 07, 2010
Moab is a great boot for hikes without backpack weight. Waterproof, comfort of a tennis shoe and good tread, purchase. It is NOT a backpacking boot and does not have a heavy duty toe guard, leather sidings which protect against rock jams etc.. This is what allows it be such a comfortable lightweight boot. For its intended purpose as a hiking boot vs. a backpacking boot it is ideal. Ordering a pair for my wife today!
Traction and comfort
May 02, 2010
I play a lot of disc golf and was looking for a good shoe with dependable traction on a variety of surfaces in wet or dry conditions. I was also very concerned about break in time with an upcoming tournament. I could not be more pleased with the Moab. They were more comfortable in the first round out of the box than my 'broken ins.' And with plenty of wet weather at the tourney, they provided the traction (and dry feet) I had been looking for in wet conditions. The comfort in the walks between shots along with the grip in the twisting and turning of the throw make this a great disc golf boot. I honestly feel they've cut a couple of strokes off my game--my feet aren't tired and aching in the closing holes anymore. I'll be getting a second pair.

I already own a pair of these MOAB Gor-tex shoe style that I bought about a year ago, they are such a well made and comfortable shoe that I decided to get a pair of these, I needed a good boot with a little more ankle support. These boots are lightweight, comfortable, mostly waterproof. Great for hiking or work. Probably the best boot in the under $100 dollar range out there.
Nice looking and the fit is very good
April 09, 2010
My husband has wide feet. These boots fit him very well.
GREAT BOOT
April 04, 2010
Ordered these boots for my husband who works outdoors and he loves them. The fit is true to size and are very comfortable. The support is also a key factor for these boots. Will be ordering more of this product.
Excellent hiking boots
March 26, 2010
They fit great and are great for work or hiking. Good support and you can go all day with a pack and not even have a problem with footing. Comfortable out of the box, no break in needed. You will thank your self if you pick them. Cheers
Excellent boot
March 09, 2010
very comfortable, very good support, thick sole (vibram), a little warm with synthetic socks. I have narrow feet and I could tighten it up for a snug fit. High quality. Ordering a second pair. Lowest matching price.
sheer awesomeness
February 23, 2010
For the price you can't beat these boots! the gortex works great in the vineyard with tall grass and morning dew as well as in mud and rain. Get a pair, you won't regret it.
Work great in even in snow...
January 27, 2010
I bought these for my husband for Christmas. He has a tendency to get his feet wet when hiking near water. He recently wore the boots snowshoeing and said they were very comfortable and kept his feet totally dry. He normally wears an 8 to an 8 1/2. The 8 1/2 fit him well with hiking socks.
Great boots
January 26, 2010
Over all, I'm very happy with them, comfort wise. I can't comment on the waterproof or breathable factors as they have not been subjected to those yet. They are a good looking boot without the screaming meme, "pants on the ground", colors that so much sports gear is plagued with.
Very comfortable
January 19, 2010
Merrell made a very comfortable and lightweight hiking boot. They required almost no breaking in and were great the first time I used them. The gortex design does a great job of retaining water. I would highly recommend them.
Highly recommended!

I bought Merrel size 11, the best hiking boots I have so far. I went on a hike,here in California, recently and I found them very light, and comfortable. They are waterproof and give good traction. I'm heading to the Basque country this holiday and I'm pretty sure they are going to do a pretty good job.
I love Merrell
November 23, 2009
All Merrell size 11's fit me perfectly. I used these on a recent 13 mile hike and they felt broken in from the start. I also own the non-Gore-tex version of these boots. If you know how these fit from trying them on in a store, they are a best buy here. They have a lot of heel cushion and the sole is made of a harder rubber than other shoes I have worn. Seem like they will last a long time.
comfortable boots
November 04, 2009
I went on a 3 hour hike today and this boots are great. Good traction up rocky hills. Had a backpack on and a 20lb. new born in front bjorn and they were very comfortable boots with a heavy load.

I've had this pair for a year and they have been very comfortable and have kept my feet dry. I wear them basically everyday for several hours and have no complaints. It's just time now for me to get a new pair because everyday wear for a year will do a shoe in. I highly recommend this boot!
More of a sneaker
July 03, 2009
When I tried this Moab Ventilator Hiking Shoe on I immediately new these would be no good for the type of Mountain Hiking I do. The Moab is more of a sneaker than what I would call a Hiking Shoe. If you are hiking on easy grade sloped trails with soft terrain these are the shoes for you. If you like to summit peaks I would not want to wear these shoes. Very little ankle support or protection from rocks. I could not even imagine wearing a backpack with these shoes¦
Great boot so far.

Purchased the Merrell Moab Mid Gore-Tex, after a lot of research and testing various boots on different surfaces and treadmill, etc. I have one pair of Merrells before, the Chameleon (non-Gore-Tex). These were just general wear boots, around town, nature walks, etc. No serious hiking. Needed a pair of light weight, mid, Gore-Tex hiking boots for a planned summer hike on Englands Coast to Coast walk (192 miles, various surfaces, but like England in general, very wet, muddy, boggy, etc). I need good ventilation as my feet sweat heavily. The price of the shoes was no object, as I made sacrifices in other others of gear, and wanted to be blister, and pain free as much as possible. After must research, including multiple sites reviews, I had narrowed my choices down to the Salomon Fast Packer 3D, the Vasque Breeze, and the Asolo Flame GTX.. All were waterproof, rather light weight, and breathable. I really wanted the Salomon Fast Packer, looked great, great reviews, my hiking buddy (serious hiker) wears and swears by them, etc. I tried them on and my heel slipped too much. I have a slightly wider foot and narrower heal, and even with different lacing, there was too much movement. The Vasque Breeze felt great in the store. Wore them with Smartwool hiking socks, and gave them a one hour treadmill test and my feet were on fire. Multiple hot spots, and could not wait to get them off. The Asolo Flame GTX were incredible hard and tight around my forefoot. I ended up trying on a pair of Keen Targhee II waterproof, and they felt great. After research and talk with some serious hikers, did not think that they were built (own make sole vs. Vibram for Merrell) to handle the mileage with an approximately 30/35 pound pack. I settled on the Merrell Moab Mid Gore-Tex, the least expensive of the bunch. They fit true to size, fairy comfortable right out of the box, with good breath ability and excellent waterproofing. I have taken two test hikes with full pack and the boots. The first was 12 miles in wooded terrain on a 90 degree day. Considering the Gore-Tex, breathed very well with no foot slippage, and no hot spots. This weekend hiked Skyline Drive on a 7 mile trip up 3000 feet of elevation, through streams, etc. Feet completely immersed in river streams with complete waterproofing. No hot spots, etc. For me to date these boots are well constructed, very little to no break-in required, supportive, and stable, with complete water proof capacity. From reading other reviews on other sites, some complain that Merrells tend to wear out faster than other brands. I dont have any info on that but after the C2C walk, I will [upd-ate ]if needed. I hope this helps, as I have gotten a lot of mileage of others reviews, and felt that it was time to do my share.
Great shoes!
May 26, 2009
Very, very comfortable shoes. Somewhere I read that they fit a 1/2 size larger than what you might normally be used to - I would agree with that. I'm a big fan of Merrell products in general any these did nothing to change my impression. Quick service from Altrec!
Female wearing mens boots
January 03, 2009
I have been hiking steadily for several years now. I have tried many boots for hiking. I usually wear womens shoes sizes 7 1/2 to 8. I have found that womens boots are too narrow for my wide, flat feet. It was suggested to me in a Merrell store to try mens size 7. I did and love them. I had a pair of ladies Merrell Moab and gave them to my mom for her hiking. I replaced them with the Mens Merrell Moab and am very happy and comfortable.
