Merrell Women's Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

Needed a new pair of hiking boots after my old ones soles wore down. I caved and treated myself to this expensive pair of Merrell's, and they are very much worth their price. Immediately after trying them on for the first time, I could feel the quality. The support at the ankles, the thickness at the toes, and the lace configuration was already miles ahead of other brands. I wore them over the summer, hiking ~20,000 steps a day over a two-week long period. I was shocked at the lack of blisters I got during the trek in comparison to my other boots, where I was constantly getting hotspots if I didn't wear thick enough socks. I broke them in the month before, but even during that process, they were incredibly comfortable and easy to hike in. They are true to size, but if you hike in winter and need to wear thick or double layered socks, I recommend getting a half size up. Also, I sprayed them with waterproofing spray before wearing outside, so I can't comment on their ability to protect from water on their own. Overall, I am very impressed with these boots, and will repurchase in a couple years when this pair wears down.

Love this boot. Very supportive and love the pink pop of color. The toe box is larger than my older merrell's which makes for a much more comfortable hiking experience.

I don't usually write reviews but found other reviews for this helpful and wanted to share. I followed the advice of many of the other reviews and got 1/2 size bigger than my usual. I also have a wide food and was happy to be able to get a pair of wide shoes for hiking. I wore these for a few hours around my house just to see what I thought and they were comfy. I then went on a 5 mile hike this morning. It was a solid hike with about 700 feet of elevation gain here in the Colorado mountains. Like others have said there was zero break in period and no rubs or uncomfortable spots. One thing I will mention is that these boots seem to have made my feet hotter than normal. Maybe because they are waterproof? It isn't a total deal breaker for me though I doubt I will be able to wear these in the dead of summer when it is 100 degrees out. Overall, if you are looking for a solid hiking boot that comes in a variety of sizes, needs no break in period and can deal with possibly having warm feet I would absolutely go for these hiking boots.

I ordered 1/2 size up to allow room for socks of different thickness. These boots were a perfect comfy fit right out of the box and ready for adventure in Juneau, Alaska. I never got blisters or even irritated skin. I walked on mossy rocks, muddy trails, rocky trails and cool beaches. These boots have great grip and supported my ankles on uneven terrain. I tested the waterproof aspect and I can say they keep the water out, but I will confess it's almost too much waterproofing if there is such a thing. My feet sometimes got clammy, so I would recommend a better moisture wicking sock perhaps. I am going to try that on my next outside adventure in Olympic National Park. I am 100% satisfied and would buy again maybe in the low shoe style next.

I was really excited to purchase my first pair of hiking boots, especially after being recommended this brand and model. When they arrived, everything seemed perfect—comfortable fit, great design, and they felt solid on my first hike. That initial outing went smoothly with no issues at all. However, things changed on the second day. About four miles into the hike, I started experiencing sharp pain where the top of the boot rubbed against the bone just above my ankle. It became extremely uncomfortable, but I was too far in to turn back. I had no choice but to push through the pain for the remainder of the hike, which lasted nearly four hours. Still hopeful, I decided to give the boots another try the next day on a 6.5-mile hike. Unfortunately, the same issue occurred, and by the end, I was practically dragging my leg back to the car. I even tried adding an extra sock for cushioning, but it didn’t help and made things worse. To be clear, the boots themselves are well-made and initially felt very comfortable. But the pressure on that specific part of my ankle has made them unwearable for me. I don’t know if returns are possible after use, but I can’t wear these boots again. I’m really disappointed, as I had high hopes for them.

These were comfortable right out of the box. No break-in period required. The mid height is good for moderate hiking, but I wouldn't use them on a steep rocky trail where ankle support might be more important especially coming down. The Vibram sole is always a plus for durability, and its strength makes uneven terrain easy to navigate.

I got these a year ago and have worn them in Peru hiking Machu Picchu, Iceland glacier trekking in the snowy/icy winter, Malaysian Borneo rainforest trekking, and in northern Virginia hitting local trails. I LOVE them. They kept my feet cool in the heat, warm in the cold, and dry. They have excellent traction and support. Zero break-in needed. They’re decently light, do not feel clunky like other brands, and are even comfortable for long haul flights (30 hours). I always size up 1/2 for boots and sneakers to accommodate socks, and that was perfect. Can’t recommend these more highly! (And, I bought them because they were the #1 pick on a gear review website.)

These hiking shoes are amazing! The waterproof feature really works my feel stayed completely dry even in heavy rain and muddy trails. They're also comfortable for long hikes,with food ankle support and a sturdy grip. Perfect for outdoor adventure

Endlich! Nach langer Suche (5 Paare habe ich davor anprobiert) habe ich richtigen! Habe eine Größe größer gekauft und wide. Prima! Benutzen habe ich die noch nicht, aber, sie passen wie angegossen für meine breite Füße. Endlich fülle ich mich wohl! Toll!

Es un calzado estable para excursiones. Las he usado en terrenos irregulares y con pendiente pronunciada de 10-15 km. La sueña tiene buen agarre y son muy cómodos, además de ser amplios de la punta.

Really liked the look of these! Disappointed they were uncomfortable. I have narrow feet and they were squeezing my pinky toe. The bed was just awkward as well. Returned them.

Me gustó mucho el modelo, aunque es un poco rígido es bastante cómodo para caminatas de varias horas y no son pesadas. Busqué muchas alternativas porque hay muchas páginas que venden botas Merrell en México que son estafas, así que por aquí mi compra fue totalmente segura y quedé feliz.

Las regresé porque me quedaban justas, mi pie es delgado y mide 22.8 cm generalmente compro la talla 36 EU 3.5 o 3 dependiendo la horma. Total que las regresé y pedí otro color en 23.5 cm y me quedaron estupendas, hasta con calceta gruesa de invierno. :)
