MerrellMoab 2 Mid Waterproof Wide Width Men Earth

I have a pair of these I purchased a year ago from a sporting goods store. They proved to be very durable and comfortable but a bit on the small side. In those I had hiked well over 400 miles and perhaps worn 50% off the tread. Other than them being a bit small, fit and construction was stellar. I relegated them to the sports closet for summer time wear with thinner socks.Meanwhile, in late December 2018, I purchased a pair 1/2 size larger. The construction, fit and comfort was on par with the previous pair. Sadly. Very sadly, the durability was not.Seriously what happened!? I have 7 weeks of usage and maybe 100 miles on these! The treads are ripping off and over 50% of the tread wear life is gone. How can that be???Merrell, what happened? I no longer feel trust in your product(s) nor can I afford to purchase boots every 3 months if I was so inclined. These say Vibram soles but are totally and completely without the legendary Vibram durability.Update; I attempted to contact Merrell but received no response.A temporary solution to lug and sole separation is to re-attach using superglue. I'll do that for awhile to attempt to get my money's worth out of the purchase but will no longer buy any Merrell product.

Usually, I love Merrell Hiking boots. With my last pair I hiked the grand canyon three times! This pair has been a tremendous disappointment only because after 3 weeks of daily use as a K9 Handler the right boot inside toe started ripping, stitching is coming out and had to use Shoe Goo to repair them. These should come with Shoe Goo to repair the stitching. These are my most comfortable boots and truly waterproof. My last pair were half this price and lasted three years of hiking trips. Too bad they don't make the right boot as well as they do the left boot. I'm going to recommend they sell these boots separately. I know the issue is not width because these are wide. For Merrell boots I'd recommend going cheap if for daily wear, the more costly don't seem to equal better quality. For me these were a waste of money! They're great while they last - about two months - at this rate if I kept buying these Merrells new, it would cost me about $800 a year!

NOT waterproof. I hiked about 40 miles around the Teton Crest Trail when it was raining on and off, and this boot gets flooded within 2-3 hours. I had wet feet and socks all 5 days on the trail and it was miserable. To top it all off, the outer sole has separated from the rest of the boot after less than 100 miles of wear. (The right boot leaks despite not having any obvious holes/separation.)The foot support is OK. I have flat arches so I traded the insole for a superfeet insole. I still get hot spots on the balls of my feet and heel, but YMMV. I definitely get blisters on the insides of my toes while wearing these shoes, but that's probably because of the aforementioned leaks.For the price, I definitely would've expected a more durable and higher performing shoe. This shoe is fine for dry conditions, but when you're on the trail and need robust gear for all sorts of conditions, this boot falls far short.

These things kick butt. I work in the rain a lot, and need something that can hold up to being rained on for like 8+ hours non stop while stepping in water and all the rest. These things have gotten so wet I could swear they would let water through but they have not yet. I also ride my motorcycle with these when I know im going to have to ride in bad weather and I know my feet will always be try. I wish they had a high boot version of these.

This is my 10th pair of MOABs; and I am looking forward to how MOAB 2 compares to the first generation boot. Because my last pair was slightly snug I ordered a 10 US instead of the usual 9.5. The 10 fits fineMy usual practice is to wear my new pair for inside work and retire the old for outdoor work. Hence, at any given time, I have two pair. The outdoor boot takes a beating----mud, gravel, and lots of water. Rather than clean up the outdoor boots after a muddy project, I leave the mud on to dry. At the next wearing, it falls off and I have a mostly clean boot.After shopping around, my conclusion is that the Merrell MOAB is the best hiking boot on the market. Right out of the box, I can wear this boot all day with no blisters.

First of all I’d like to state that I look in depth when shopping for expensive items.My shoe size is UK10, but when wearing boots I take a UK11.These boots cover my ankles which gives added support where needed. I bought these specifically for walking and mainly Metal Detecting. When spending 6-7 hours on my feet I thought it was important to find a pair of hiking boots that give the support under my feet. So many cheaper boots I bought seem to ok, but they leave my feet painful and aching.I already have a pair of Merrill training shoes, and Merrill Sandle’s, so when I looked at all the different boots I came to the decision that buying Merrill Hiking boots was a no brainier, even though very expensive.I’ve previously bought boots from the following shops, TKMaxx, The Factory Shop, and the camping shop. each of those boots lasted about 6-8 months before I had to throw them away because they wore away, tore at the sides of the boots.I would suggest that you don’t buy cheap because they don’t last. I would recommend these hiking boots.

Vamos a empesar...Su suela es buena, su impermeabilidad excelente, su durabilidad es buena los que dicen que se les rompe debe ser algún defecto por qué yo llevo años con las moab y siempre duran y les doy uso rudo, su comodidad pues son amplias de la punta bienen bien la talla ni grandes ni chicos pero es lógico en este tipo de calzado que sean un poco amplios para que sean cómodos al estar caminando durante mucho tiempo,en lo personal no me gusta mucho que sean muy alsado este modelo en el tacón lo que hace es que te canses cuando caminas mucho, la calida es excelente pero en mi punto de vista hay mucho más marcas que podrían cumplir lo mismo y de mejor aspecto...Salomón ultra 3X sería una mejor opción según yo, también por el precio en que ronda serían mucho más cómodas unas Under Armor... Tengo las 3 y prefiero las Salomón yo solo recomendaría comprar estás botas si están en oferta en 2mil o menos como yo las conseguí espero les ayude trato de ser neutral y no digo que no las compres son buena pero hay mejores que ronda el mismo precio

I walk A LOT on both pavement and woodland terrain for up to 10 hours and do it frequently and this is currently the only brand i can trust to not become mushy or fall apart. The sole is very supportive for a very long usage, it will not move around, become detached or let go of the surface cloth like other shoes always do with wear. I have kicked chunks of ice, bonfire logs, rocks, scraped the shoes on forest wood and the stitching and whatever glue holds up. The suede-ish finish feels very nice to the touch and cleans off surprisingly easy for a textured surface. The rubber on the bottom of the shoe takes much longer to wear down than other brands. I am on my 3rd pair of MOAB hiking boots, 2nd pair of running shoes and 1st pair of insulated boots from Merrel and all are impressive in terms of support and durability. The shoelaces are back to being the good kind now, my last MOABs had unacceptable shoelaces and now they switched back to the more durable ones that also don't come undone. The only thing peculiar I ever noticed about the newer MOAB boots compared to the style about 5 years ago is that the toe now has mesh directly on the top which lets more water in during rain or even being kicked up from a wet ground. The older style had a strip of leather straight down the middle with mesh on the sides and the old toe style kept my feet notably drier. Still the best shoe brand for heavy walkers and hikers so far

2nd day wearing these shoes. Very comfortable right out of the box, just as the advertising said... I can't tell about the waterproofing as I didn't face any water, but the are definitely not as breathable as I expected. My feet were wet as the photo shoes but the outside of the boot is still very dry. Moisture definitely comes from the inside... I usually don't sweat much from the feet, but apparently these shoes makes it different.It is very expensive at 171CAD$ for a boot that is just as regular as any other boot.120$ would be a fair price for these hiking boots.

I couldn't find a 13 wide and bought these regular size 13 shoes. I'm bias in this opinion having never put on a shoe and just had it fit without needing a bit of time to work in before finding the Merrell brand. These are nearly perfect shoes save for not being able to find them in a 13 wide. I don't know a way they could be made better.
