Merrell mens Moab 2 Vent Mid

This is a great pair/brand of shoe. I ordered a pair for myself a while back for a girls hiking trip. They are durable, true to size, and get comfortable that I ended up working in them as I am on my feet all day. My husband needed a shoe for the same type of quality for work and I booked bought him a pair for him to try. He’s very satisfied with them and gives him the support he was needing to be on his feet all day. Would recommend to anyone.

My husband used these as his only shoes on a 3 week African trip. He said they were very comfortable. They are heavy shoes but it didn't seem to bother him.

Comfortable, durable, and great for wide feet. My son has a hard time finding wide enough shoes that fit him, and these have been a lifesaver. Would purchase again.

While they're the typical quality you'd expect from Merrell, the extra quality isn't there.I've had many pairs of them through the years and my most notable is the quality and comfort of their products. Had I spent the usual $100-plus for these shoes, they'd have been returned.While everything lines up, side by side, they are visually a little different when you look at them. This may be the reason for their price though Vibrim is usually particular about what product carries their logo.They were extremely uncomfortable at first. Not what I've experienced with any textile product. Usually Merrells are super comfortable, right out of the box.Overall these shoes were bought for hiking and camping in the Carolina mountains so they're purpose built but I've never experienced a break in period with a textile shoe. That's normally more in the over-ankle height, leather boot category.After wearing a few times they have gotten more comfortable. They have a good, sturdy toe point and on wet grass and clay, they were well footed.I am curious about their longevity because their shoes typically outlive their looks for a few years. That said, I always rotate the old shoes in to my yard work shoes and throw them away well before they're dead. I still have a pair of hiking mocs at my in laws house for when we visit and I do outdoor work there, where they have major water drainage issues. They're no newer than 2008 and still nust as comfortable and water tight as they were when I got them. Besides looking like a homeless guy, I'd wear them anywhere that stability and keeping water out would be an issue.Most likely these will last just as long but, there's got to be a reason they were only $60.00 ($75-$110 elsewhere) and it may be that they're not very attractive and not the normal quality shoe that they turn out.Again, they're Merrells and they were only $60. I'm probably setting the bar in the $120 shoe range and had I paid that, they'd have been returned. Otherwise the reason for 4 stars was really the break in time and aesthetics.So far they feel like a great hiking shoe I the under 80 dollar range. I will loop around after some gorge time on wet rocks and steep hills to update. I'd really like to give them the 5 stars they so deserve but now it's a solid 4 star.

Over the years, I have purchased many pairs of these Merrell hiking shoes. They work well for hiking on tough rocky terrain, but can be dangerously slippery on smooth rock surfaces. They may be waterproof, but your feet will still feel cold and wet if they get wet since they are not insulated. I get a good 5 months of daily walking out of these shoes before the sole becomes worn enough that it is time to replace them.The laces that come with these shoes look fantastic, but are like a torture device. No matter what you do, after a few weeks they will not stay tied! They will automatically become untied even if you do not move at all. There is even a YouTube video which features this same shoe and is about a special type of knot which is supposed to stay tied.My solution for the shoelace problem is to immediately replace the laces with Danner Premium Laces, 54". The Danner laces stay tied, and they will last as long as at least two pairs of these Merrell hiking shoes (I transferred the laces from shoe to another and they still seemed like new).

I’ve owned many pairs of this hiking shoe. Love them. I am sure this pair of shoes were sold and returned before I got them. The left one made a popping sound when I walked. I am guessing that’s why they were returned. Went on a 6 mile hike and the sound went away after a couple of miles.

It's been a while since I have purchased any hiking shoes or boots, but things have clearly continued to improve since my old clunky hikers or Army boots. I purchased these for a day of like hiking at Shades State park, and thy were outstanding. I have a WIDE foot (3E-4E) and my main issue is always width, and I am pleased to say that the wides were indeed wide enough for me. Not too wide that I had any sliding - just right. And my secondary issue is that I wear custom orthotics, and although it looked like they might not fit right, they actually dropped right in when the insoles were removed.This is an outstanding hiker for the moderate trail that I was on, as well as wearing around town the rest of the day - very comfortable. I didn't get a chance to test their waterproofness or performance on any rugged trails, although I am sure they will.Recommended.
