Why We Like The Moab 3 Hiking Shoe
When we want the stability of a dedicated hiking boot with the lightness underfoot of a low-cut shoe, we know we can count on the Moab 3 Hiking Shoe to balance our needs. The nylon shanks and protective rubber toe cap improve ankle stability and protect us from rock strikes. The hybrid leather and mesh upper provides lightweight breathability, giving the confidence to explore anywhere from the granite ridges of our backyard to slickrock routes down south.

Great all Rounder
Wear this shoe camping, hiking or mowing the lawn. Comfortable and supportive.

Great boot
On the second day of my 80 mile backpacking trip. It rained all day. I sat my boots by the fire to dry. The sole of the boot melted. I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to continue hiking in these boots. It cooled and the rubber hardened and my boots held up and I was able to hike the remaining 60 miles. No issues and no discomfort.

My go to inside/outside footwear
Comfortable and easy wearing, moderate support, I’m finding (this is my third pair in two years) the soles separate from the toe and sides long before they show any serious tread wear. For three seasons this is my go to in/outdoors footwear. Could use slightly better arch support

Great for a steep hike
These worked out great! I was heading to Yosemite for a weekend, and I climbed Half Dome. It’s very steep and difficult, and these shoes had me gripping where others around me were slightly sliding. The website says they run small, so I ordered a half size up. They were honestly a little big, which made me nervous. But they never slipped off, and I was not in bad pain because I wore them around for a week before the hike to break them in. Recommend!

Go Anywhere Shoe
Great all-around hiking shoe. Comfortable right out of the box, with almost no break-in required. Not for the most technical trails, as a truly locked-in fit is difficult to obtain due to the way the laces are attached, which allows the foot to slide around somewhat while scrambling or during steep descents. It's a trade-off, but they are otherwise fantastic for a wide variety of trails. For reference, this is my 3rd pair of Moab 3's and I owned 2 pairs of Moab 2's previously. I walk 12-16 miles per day (for work) and wear them hiking/backpacking on my days off. These are a little less breathable than the earlier version of Moabs (Vent 2) and the Vibram tread/outsole is perhaps somewhat less durable, in my experience. Still, a great value overall if you are looking for a comfortable, generalist hiking shoe for normal use.

Comfortable and reliable
Merrell has been my go-to brand for years. Never left me down, I wear them on a daily basis and I have a pair of dress shoes and these Moabs. I simply love them, very comfortable and reliable! ON my latest pair, one of the studs came off. I contacted Merrell about this twice but received no answer. It's not bothering me in the end but honestly for the price I didn't expect this stud to come off and at least have Merrell contact me back. Love the shoes, didn't like the way this was handled (not classy) so took a star off.

Not Comfortable
Bought a few weeks ago. I go through a couple pair of hiking shoes a year. I walk a ton. These shoes are not as comfortable as I'd like. I've been wearing them awhile, and they are still stiff like brand new. The cushioning or lack thereof, is the biggest issue. My feet hurt every time I wore these. I have cheaper Skechers that have max cushioning, and are much more comfortable.

Best purchase this year!
Very comfortable hiking shoe straight out of the box! They have comfortable, roomy toe box with great grip. True-to-size. Would definitely purchase again.

NOT as good as "Boulder"
I bought 2 pairs of these, mainly because I loved the former "boulder" style that these look like . They are definitely no where near as comfortable to wear, and I can only wear these for a few hours at most before my feet start to ache . the sole has more arch support, but it's not a very accurate, comfortable arch .
