MerrellMen's Moab 3 Mid GTX Hiking Shoe

Bought these boots as an upgrade from my Merrell MOAB 2 GTX walking shoes for hiking on more rugged terrain where I'd benefit from some ankle support.Like the MOAB (Mother Of All Boots) 2 shoes they are wearable out of the box and don't need breaking in. Aside from the difference of the mid-boot form factor they benefit from extra cushioning and are fully waterproof with a goretex membrane.First worn on an 11.75 KM hike, on a 23 °C sunny day, they were comfortable and breathable throughout. When taken off at the end my feet were bone dry with no blisters or redness to be seen. Challenged by some rocky terrain there were no issues with grip.I've been wearing Merrell MOAB's in some incarnation or other for nearly 20 years and their durability is excellent. I use the shoe version for daily wear and typically get 2 or more years out of them (depending on whether I'm using them to hike in as well as for work and casually). The value is fantastic - pricing varies slightly depending on colour and size but in the "Pecan" colourway and an UK Size 10 they were just under £100.Would not hesitate to buy again.

These are really comfortable from day one, coped in pebbles and feet stayed nice and dry, good grip too.Highly recommended and that's after trying dozens of different brands.I ended up going a full size bigger but could probably have taken the half size bigger.Great pair of boots to date.

This is my second pair (same size, UK9) of Merrell MOABs, the first being the MOAB2 which has walked the SW Coast path in its entirety, and they never let me down, continue to be comfortable and waterproof. The bumper strip at the toe has cracked on both shoes and both soles are showing signs of wear. I'm hoping that this latest version is made to the same standards. My first impressions are that they fit more snugly than the MOAB2, including the feeling that the toebox is not as roomy. My only complaint is that the shoes have obviously been worn before as they have dried grass and a piece of grit in the soles, but although a black Friday deal, were advertised as new. There are no scuff marks, and I'll keep them (as I suspect I wouldn't get them at that price again!). Can't wait to get on a new trail with them!

I've worn to failure quite a few pairs of hiking boots. Berghaus, Scarpa and Brasher pairs lasted the longest (the last, though sturdy, did feel like a pair of housebricks on my feet sometimes). As I'm in my seventh decade now I fancied a light but rugged boot and after a bit of research chose these. They arrived within a day (today) as promised. The fit is comfortable. I take a UK 9 and, unlike other reviewers, didn't need to go up a size. My left foot is slightly smaller than my right one but these boots accommodated the difference without any problem. I've just got back from a 2.5 mile road test at a brisk pace to check for any hot spots or pinch points and I'm happy to report no discomfort at all. They are as comfortable on as a light pair of NIkes I used to have which were little more than trainers but there's a much more reassuring, solid, 'rubber on the road' feel to these despite their light weight. First impression is very positive. I'm hoping to update this review over time as I start to use them in, if not anger, then a little bit of vigour.

Best walking boots I've owned, very comfortable and warm..well worth the money..great fit and ankle support..

Great shoe and great value, I am a 9 so bought size 9,and on first walk I bruised a toe as not correct fit , gave them to a friend and ordered a 10 perfect and no problems a very good shoe.

water proof, comfortable to wear long lasting if treated properly, This is the second pair of Merrils I have bought, only bought these because I spilt oil on my other pair. So first time I have bought boots online from this seller, would certainly buy again. Received boots before delivery date well packaged & packaging undamaged, these boots are sold in half sizes which makes for a better fit.

I've worn these boots in very gradually since I bought them 2 months ago, only walking them on pavements or roads. Today I did a 2 mile field walk through wet grass, wet mud and on gravel tracks.When I returned home all the toes on my right sock were totally soaked through. So much for the waterproof inner that these boots (are supposed to) feature.Of course, the return window has closed but I did have an expectation that boots from this brand would at least be waterproof from the start.Next time, a different brand, Not Amazon and from a reputable high street trader.
