I have wide and flat size 13 feet. That leaves me few options that feel really comfortable. I'm happy to report that the fit on these seems exactly like my Moab Vent low-tops. I have had to replace the insoles, but I kind of expect that given my foot. We haven't had too many rainy days yet, but it seemed to hold up to some puddles. The footbed seemed ok on wet asphalt, wet diamond rise metal plates, wet metal grates and soft soil. It was dangerously slick on a restaurant's wet granite tile floor, but given that knowledge, it was ok w/careful steps.

I've spent years burning through crappy $12 wallyworld shoes every two months. I walk everywhere I go and I'm stocky to boot, my feet have simply had enough. I put aside for these for a month and I'm very happy to find the massive difference in quality! My wide feet have always felt crushed in shoes, no longer! I've always gotten soaked in every minimal rain but after a week of snow and rain conditions I'm still dry! My feet feel so good it's hard to put in words! My one complaint? The lack of non-slip soles does make wet rocks/floors tricky. Don't care, love 'em! Thanks Merrell and thanks CSR Babe from Zappos (somewhere in the desert) for awesome customer service!

Brands I'd also recommend: first non-crap pair of shoes :P but definitely Merrell.

Excellent shoes as always with Merrell. Used them for Asia trip. Borneo Forest as of yesterday and performed awesome in wet terrain, slipery rocks and mud. Fit perfect. I have had Merrell since 1993. Love them.

Great shoe, had to exchange my 9 for 9.5 since they were a little too tight with the socks I wear. I suspect they run a half size small. I had the same problem with another pair. Definitely waterproof. Went walking through a muddy bog and just hosed them off when I was done, good as new and dry on the inside.

I bought these for my son; he says they are the most amazing shoes. They keep his feet totally dry and comfortable.

These shoes were a big Christmas hit for my husband! He has short, wide feet that are not easy to find shoes for. We have been looking for waterproof shoes for winter walking and golfing. These are perfect. Now I want a pair for myself!

I've never purchased Merrell's before, not sure why... Finally a wide shoes that is actually wide! These fit my wide foot great, have good support and are indeed waterproof (Gore-Tex is awesome). While the soles provide good traction in the desert and mountains of Arizona, they do tend to hold gravel. I'm not much into style and care mostly about performance. So far these are performing great. I've only been wearing them for a month and a half so have no Idea how they will hold. I expect they will last longer than most 'wide' shoes I've worn because most blow out on the side from my wide foot.

I just received my Merrell Moabs, and right out of the box, they were comfortable, but somewhat stiff as you would expect. Fit and finish were what you would expect. I don't normally buy shoes off the internet, but after wearing their camp mocs, I ordered they same size. They fit just fine and will be even better once they are broken in, and will perform as advertised. It just proves, you get what you pay for.

As a veteran and a military contractor I can truly appreciate the importance of "business tactical." If fashion met function, 9 months and one night of unbridled passion later, the Merrell Moabs would be their offspring. Whether you're navigating the local hiking trails on an "activity date" with a woman who finally found time for you in her busy yoga and triathlon training schedule, or trying to find the quickest way to the DFAC; the Moabs won't let you down. The Moabs sit upon a Vibram foundation of chiseled rubber. The perfection of which is reminiscent of Michelangelo's David and is said to be inspired from Hephaestus' personal designs. Their superstructure is the ultimate marriage of strength and breath-ability, which will undoubtedly leave future archeologists befuddled by their perfection.

These are the first Merrell shoes I've owned. I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed! Previous brands I used to purchase were New Balance, but these feel far superior. They feel excellent on my feet, right from day 1 without any break-in period. That says it all for me. I would highly recommend these shoes.

I have only worn them once since my purchase, but they fit well. I usually wear a 2x width and probably could have gone with the regular width. They seem very well made. I bought them to stay dry and warm in New York, but so far the winter weather has been too nice... yeah!

I had an older pair that I wore for about 8 years and finally wore off the tread. I wanted an all around hiker travel/adventure shoe. This one is perfect. Very light, sturdy and well made. Normally I wear a 9 1/2 and bought a 10. It fits perfect. I was not sure if the Gore-tex would add weight or be an issue with flexability, but they are breathable but maybe slightly warmer than my previous non Gore-tex. I have not tested them in the rain, but I think they should handle well in moderate conditions. I would highly recommend these shoes.

This is a great multi-purpose low-cut sneaker-hiker. I use it for hiking and exercising walking in wet conditions, the Gore-Tex works great. I also use it for general wear around town and my land went the conditions call for it. It fit my size 10.5 wide foot fine right out of the box. It was a little stiff to start off but after only a few wearings has become very comfortable. It looks and feels like it is well constructed and will last a long time. I'd say it was well worth the money. As is always the case, no one beats Zappos for great stuff and excellent service.

These shoes are wonderful. It took the least amount of time to break in and Zappos service was top notch as usual.

I bought these for my partner who commandeered my Merrell's last year. Boy, those shoes ended up looking like a rookie boxer in the ninth round of a ten round fight and started to take in water like the Lusitania. So he asked for a new pair, waterproof, and specifically for Merrell's because their integrated mid-step means he doesn't need orthotics. Normally he'd never drop big bucks for shoes! But Merrell's? No question.

These shoes are a bit stiff at first because of the Gore-Tex lining and require about 25 to 30 miles to break in. After that, the comfort level became what I normally expect from a Merrell. Now they're terrific, and I recommend them highly. they're very comfy and give lots of support.
