Customer Reviews Merrell Moab Mid GORE-TEX® XCR®

So far I'm enjoying them, this is my first pair of Merrell's and I would recommend them to a friend. We'll see how they hold up over time. I don't plan on being easy on them.

An excellent shoe for the price. Provides excellent water proofing so long as you dont go over the ankle. Very comfortable after broken in. Wears well hiking with mid size pack loads. Only problem is that it can run a little hot some days, so prepare to have slightly sweaty feet if you dont have good wicking socks or liners on.

These are the best shoe I have ever owned. I have trouble with my ankles and usually have to wear special insoles. But since wearing these shoes I don’t need them anymore! I’m usually very hard on shoes, but these held out for over two years without showing any signs of wear. The only thing that happened is one of the cloth eyelets broke after 20 months! The sole hardly looked worn! I convinced my wife to buy a pair of Merrells and she is convinced as well.

I love these boots. From the moment I put them on it was as if I'd already worn them on many hikes. I took them with me to the Amazon and my feet never got wet. The boots did get muddy, but they were very easy to clean and they never got wet or even damp inside. I especially like the tread on the soles. Walking in the Amazon is a slippery proposition and they kept me upright! Don't give a second thought to purchasing these boots.

Wasn't sure which size to order, so ordered 2 pairs: my regular size plus 1 pair in the next size. They were true to size, so I returned the larger pair. I love these Moabs -- very comfortable and look good, too. This was my first order with Zappos and everything was processed quickly and exactly right!

Purchased these for my son. Didn\'t take him long to head off hiking. From the first time he went they were very comfortable.

I have hard-to-fit feet, and I\'ve had both quality and fit problems with Merrell products in the past. I took a chance on these boots based on the positive reviews that I read on the Zappos website. I figured that if, notwithstanding the great reviews, I don\'t like them or if they don\'t fit, the Zappos return policy covers me. Well, the boots fit very well -- size 13W, and they feel true to size\/width. They were comfortable right out of the box. I did a fairly rugged 10-mi hike with essentially no break-in period and no repercussions. As with any mid-top, dirt and detritus can end up in the boot, but I expected that. The boots are supportive, don\'t slip on the heel or elsewhere, and have good traction. On top of everything, Zappos delivered them at lightning speed for no extra cost. That\'s the kind of customer service that keeps people coming back, and wins new customers by word of mouth. Well done on all counts.

Merrell shoes have been a favorite of mine for several years now, the fit is superb. These shoes carried me 75 miles over the wilderness trails of Isle Royale without a problem, no water leaks, great grip on smooth rock both wet and dry, making for easy striding over all the trails. As others have said, the laces could be more grippy, to keep them tied better. Other than that niggling fault, great shoes.

I purchased these for my son for a week long hiking trip. We didn't have time for a break in period and he has a very wide foot. They were great! Not one complaint and this kid won't typically wear anything but basketball shoes.

I am a civilian contractor in Afghanistan. I appreciate Zappos shipping direct to the military addresses overseas. Boxes from Zappos normally get here without delay. The shoes are waterproof and rugged. Just what is needed in the Afghan mountains.

First of all, Zappos is great. Great way to buy boots and try them on at home where you can take your time to see if they fit correctly, try different socks and hiking inserts. The Merrell boots are great. I did a lot of research on boots before I bought these. I was looking for a light weight backpacking boot that had Gore-Tex and vibram soles. Took the boots out for a 5 mile hike and no break in was necessary. Super comfortable out of the box. Did not try in the rain or with a pack yet, however, I think they will be great for light to heavy packs.

Very comfortable boot. Had to buy one half size bigger than I normally wear.

Bought these for my big teenaged son. He has used them fall, winter (in LOTS of snow) and now spring. I witnessed him standing in a creek for several minutes. And his feet have stayed dry in all these conditions. Also, this is a kid who would not wear anything else besides running shoes and he says these are just as comfortable, on the trail and around town. I read a review elsewhere from a guy with a 5E width that said the wide width worked for him so I am going to try a pair for my 3 1/2E width. This was our first time with Zappos and it has been great!

It's hard to find hikers in a slightly wider width, which you need if you go for miles in the mountains. Feet often swell when you go long distances. Merrell gets it and makes a good product! I replace my hikers about once a year because the foam breaks down a bit and sometimes the waterproofing fails, but I consider that a plus! I put 300 miles on them and then change them out! As with all shoes, I wish someone would come up with better laces that don't untie themselves.

I have worn low cut Merrell Moabs for several seasons and find them to be very supportive and comfortable. It was natural to move up to the mid height Merrell Moabs as a replacement for a more strenuous style hiking shoe. They are every bit as supportive, with an aggressive tread, and come with a bonus Gore-Tex liner. I found them to be a little more full volume than the low cuts, but the addition of an insole solves that problem.

Great Shoe Overall - Overall, a great looking and comfortable hiking shoes. The only thing to be aware is that there maybe a slight crunchy noise when they are still brand new which comes from the Gore-Tex lining.

I love these Merrell shoes! They are the most comfortable and sturdiest lightweight boot around. They fit well and are excellent for snow shoeing as well as summer hiking. I want another pair!

Perfect - This hiking boot is exactly what I was looking for. I had looked at many different sports stores but was unable to find one in a wide width with the bungee cord laces. It fit perfect, is comfortable even after being in them for up to 18 hrs. a day, and holds up to harsh conditions. I will buy this shoe again, and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a comfortable but tough hiking shoe.

Awesome boot - Ordered these for my boyfriend. First hiking boot he's worn in years and years that fit like a glove. Wore them on back-to-back 10-mile hikes in West Virginia back country without a problem. Fabulous. Multiple water crossings proved that the boots are indeed waterproof.

Comfortable - The Merrell's Moab Mid XCR is very comfortable and very light weight. This is the exact shoe I wanted when I placed my order. I am 69 yrs. old and do volunteer work for Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy. I help build trails and maintain trails all year. These shoes give me great support and grip on the hills and trails. I would recommend these shoes for all types of Spring and Summer hiking.

Excellent for sore feet - I got these for my wife who has had heel spurs and general issues with her feet. Unlike virtually every other boot she has tried, these are comfortable, have the support and work for hiking or just around town.

Comfy - but small! This is the third hiking-boot type of shoe I've ordered from Zappos, and thankfully this one fit. BUT I had to order up a full size! A friend had the same shoe - a half size smaller than this - I tried it on so knew to get a bigger size. They're narrow enough for me - sometimes tough with a man's shoe. I'm pleased overall - they are comfortable and lightweight.

Merrel Moab Mid - I've been very pleased with the other Merrell shoes I've owned for the past five years and so far these continue that tradition. Comfort, lightweight, waterproof, and good looks all in one.
