Merrell Womens Moab 3

This hiking shoe is my new favorite! I usually like to put at least twenty miles on a new pair of shoes before I do any serious hiking or walking. These Merrell Moab 3 hiking shoes were delivered just two days before I left on a trip to Moab, Utah to do hiking in Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. I was only able to get about seven miles on these shoes before my trip. They fit perfectly and are true to size. No need to break in this shoe. The Vibram soles are amazing on my plantar fasciitis. I was able to hike to Delicate Arch and several other hikes. They had great traction on the slick sandstone. I put in about fifteen miles of hiking the first day in Arches NP. These shoes helped my feet feel their best. I have the Moab 2 Waterproof hiking shoes as well and I love them, but when I’m not in cold or wet climates, the waterproof shoes get too hot. These Moab 3 shoes are perfect for dry hiking. I put about thirty miles on them in three days of hikes, and my feet never got sore or even achy. I will definitely purchase these shoes again.

I love these hiking shoes. They were more expensive than I would have normally paid for a pair of shoes, but I used birthday money and they are so worth it. Very comfortable and supportive. Can fit 2 socks, but I would recommend getting the Merrell socks that are thicker and work perfect. The groves are deep so I do spend time getting mud (once dried) and rocks out of them. Love the neutral color as they will look good with multiple hiking outfits. Have worn them hiking and camping. Were very good for slip resistant on wet rocks up in Canada.

These hiking shoes are comfortable from the first time you wear them. They have great support and wear well. I continue to purchase this style. I have worn them for hiking in many National Parks as well as local trails. They are durable, fit my foot well, and look good. I highly recommend them.

These arrived right away, also perfectly packaged in their shoebox along with the wool socks I ordered at the same time, both in the same plastic mailer. I wasn't sure I would like the color, described as taupe, with the yellow/gold lace loops, thinking I might wish I had ordered a darker or grayish tone color with cool colored accents. But these are beautiful with a light celedon tint to the fabric and a lovely cocoa color to the leather accents. And th gold is very pretty next to these colors. Size was my biggest concern as there were so many varying reviews. Although I generally wear an 8-1/2 I decided to order a size 9. I put them on right away andthought they felt just right. Stood up and pressed my thumb on top of my big toe that stops right wh fabric upper and the black rubber toe meet. Toes are not jammed against the tip of the to area, wiggle room for all my toes but not too big or loose feeling. But the solid arch support does feel like it sits back a bit under my arch, not exactly center. So I was thinking I should order another pair in 8.5 to compare. But I am extremely pronated and a really good arch support can feel a little odd at first. I even asked my husband to confirm (he used to manage a sporting goods store and fitted many customers for the right shoes, etc.) He agreed they are not too big. So I think the 8-1/2 might be too snug, etc. I also have a very narrow foot, although with age that may not be quite as true as it once was? My foot does not slip at the heel so I think a half size up was the right decision.

Runs a half size small. I found the shoe to have a great shape and immediate comfort. I should have ordered one half size up. I normally wear US Women’s size 9. A size 9 and 1/2 would have been more comfortable. I compensated by loosening the laces as much as possible. Because of that they come untied. The shoe is beautifully made and I love the olive green color. I like that the toe box is covered in leather suede. If a shoe has a mesh toe box the toes rip a hole in the mesh. The sole traction is also very good. I feel a lot of support wearing the shoe. Overall, a good pick. I would buy again in a larger size.

Only shoes I’ve ever owned that fit perfectly right out if the box!!! Great for standing on concrete all day, great for hiking and great for lasting comfort!!! They are just a workhorse of a shoe!!!!

Super comfortably, sturdy without being ridged (I bought these after trying and returning Dansko's which were SO ridged!). Beautiful color and great quality. I love that Merrill finally made a more feminine hiking shoe and I hope they make more! It doesn't sacrifice the quality, but definitely looks more girly than the grey styles they usually make. Very happy with my purchase. Also, I need a large toe box and wear size 11, and these worked great. (Again, Dansko's were awful toe-box-wise).

I specifically looked for Merrell shoes because of some Merrell boots I had bought several years ago. I ordered these for a trip where we planned to do a lot of hiking. They arrived close to the time we left, so I didn't have much time to try them out before just taking them and trying them on the fly, trusting the Merrell brand to deliver.The fit was just as expected, not too small, not too large, and just the right width at the toe and heel. They are a bit heavier than other hiking shoes, but are still comfortable. The weight doesn't detract from the ease of wear and function for hiking trails that can be smooth or rocky and uneven.We did more hiking than planned on a three-week trip, but throughout the many hikes we took on varied terrain, the shoes remained durable, didn't show wear, and remained comfortable.I use them almost daily for hilly walks and am NOT disappointed that I bought these shoes! Considering the durability, comfort, and expected length of time they will last, I consider them a great value for the money.I wouldn't hesitate to purchase these and other Merrell products in the future.
