Merrell Moab 3 Hiking Shoe - Women's

Why We Like The Moab 3 Hiking Shoe

The classic is back again for all our red rock treks, desertscape hikes, and every adventure in-between. This iteration of the Moab Hiking Shoe is made with Merrell's commitment to eco-conscious design, so they've chosen recycled materials for the breathable mesh lining, secure-fit laces, and easy-on webbing loops. Suede leather and mesh panels offer on-trail protection that still lets our feet breathe easy.

Getting your steps in never felt better

Just got back from 2 weeks in Europe, averaged 25k steps a day – they felt great. Only broke them in for a couple of days before the trip and had no issues. Toe box is very roomy, good amount of sole cushion. not too heavy or too light, didn't get too dirty. Did great in the city and hiking trails, highly recommend.

Moab 3

My similar-looking shoes from Columbia were starting to wear out on the fabric even before the soles, which was surprising. So, I bought Moab 3 with suede which will probably hold up better. My feet have been uncomfortable for the last few years. They feel noticeably better with the mew Merrells.

Must Have

I’m new to hiking and bought these a 1/2 size up which give me plenty of room on my walks. I went on a total of a 5 mile uphill hike and had no issues. No break in time, just put them on and you’re ready to go! So happy I bought these!
