Good boot, still breaking in. I bought wide as I find most shoes to narrow. The wide also seems to be made for a fat (?) foot, lots of space above the toe area. Lacing tightly helps but then creates a divot around the first set of eyelets. I would say they run about 1/4 size large.

I will be purchasing these again. This is an excellent shoe - well balanced, well made & looks great. They are not cheap but when you factor in the benefits & user satisfaction, it's a small price to pay. 5 Stars all the way around! Absolutely recommended!

I'll stick with Merrill - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I purchased these as a gift for my significant other. He absolutely loves them! He says they are so light (yet durable), the arch and balanced support help him walk straighter (he did not expect that/he is on his feet all day) and they look great! He says usually he has to break a new pair of boots in, wear them a couple hours until they rub then go back to his old, comfortable boots. Not so with these. This was my first choice but I knew I could trust Merrell brand - I was so right! He could not be happier with them and I could not be happier about that!

I own the "low" version of these, which are excellent. I bought these before a recent trip to Canada, where I spent several full days walking around in snow and slush. My feet stayed dry and warm, and felt comfortable walking around on them all day.

I love my Merrells because they have a great fit & are helpful support because I broke my right foot & they give me more stability than a regular shoe in my transition. I've been a fan of Merrells for years too.

I find the Gore-Tex version of this boot to be better than the lower priced non-Gore-Tex. They are cooler and are better constructed. Run true to size. Little or no break in.
Zappos as always was great.

Great shoes, very comfortable. I had to return my first pair because they were half size to big, no problems at all. The guys at Zappos send me a new pair in no time. Love my shoes, love Zappos!

My husband and I have used Merrell Moabs to hike in the North Cascades, High Sierras, and Rocky Mountains in Montana and Wyoming. The availability in a wide width is a big plus for my husband.

I love that Merrell offers a Gore Tex boot in a wide width. I had this same boot from Zappos and was buying a second pair. Of course, Zappos was great. These boots were not originally available, even on the manufacturer's website. Literally the next day, I got an email from Zappos saying that they were available and I had them within two days.
I usually have to wear a custom orthotic arch support, but the arch support in these boots are comfortable enough that I don't need them.

Love them - break in is super easy. These boots are comfortable so far, haven't got a good hike in yet, but these seem promising!

Great all-season, all-purpose boots. About three years ago I developed a nasty case of tendonitis in my left foot. Basic diagnosis was wearing stylish shoes, with no support. I used to buy cheap-a** department store sale shoes and boots. Once I switched to Merrells, I've never had a recurrence of any type of foot issues. I've worn these Moab Gore-Tex Mid Wides nearly every day for 2.5 years before the sole started to separate. I work as an IT tech in a manufacturing environment in the upper midwest. During the hot summers my feet never got sweaty. In the winter, they never got cold. Rain or snow, my feet stayed dry. I've trekked over volcanic rock formations, muddy trails and hard pavement and the boots have held up, with very little tread wear. There's been some fraying at the collar, but that's pretty much to be expected, as we aren't talking Kevlar. As for the Gore-Tex element, oh yeah, that's what makes these bad boys the best. Pay a little extra, and you get a lot for your money.

Very satisfied with Zappos. I have a son with Down Syndrome he wears orthotics and only has a size 7 or 7 1/2 in mens. A small wide shoe is difficult to find. Zappos always has a good selection of brand name and decent looking shoes in his size.

I own 3 pair of Merrells for different conditions and all have performed great. I can't estimate the miles hiked in national and state parks in 10 states from WA to FL and all have held up very well. They are comfortable out of the box and give good support. The Gor-tex versions perform well in very wet conditions.

This is the third pair that I have bought for my husband. He walks every day and absolutely loves these shoes. I get him the wide size even though I find that Merrell shoes tend to run a little wide. After years of trying to find shoes that do not hurt his feet we finally found the perfect ones. I hope that they keep these in stock.

I have a foot operation and my Physical therapist recommened this shoe. Great show has helped me a lot. The only little thing I would recommened is the shoe laces would be a little longer.

I purchased these after enjoying comfortable hiking the past Spring and Summer in the Moab Low-cuts. Looking for Mid-height and Gore-Tex for the upcoming season. I have EEE feet and the Merrell Wide size fits great. Soles have great grip in the rocky with scree trails in Colorado and give a good sense of security.

I've had these boots for about two years and I'm going to buy another pair. I've worn then for yard work around the house, wet soccer fields for my kids games, and even 10-12 mile hikes in the Tahoe National Forest. They are lightweight and let my feet breathe, but also keep my feet dry. I love them. I wish they came in other colors though.

Love these boots. Have bought several pair and so far, they don't disappoint. I am a female but buy the men's boots for hiking as they are wider than women's and more comfortable.

These shoes are comfortable right out of box and seemingly will last for several years due to hthe construction. One impotant note on fit, I have a 4E foot and the wide size fits. If you have wide feet get these you won't be sorry.Also they run 1/2 size too small. I am usually an 11-1/2 in these i order size 12.

Simply the best light hiking shoe there is. This is my second pair. Truly waterproof, lightweight, comfortable, and tough. I wear them to work, where I am on my feet all day and I hike in them also.

Wow! These were the first pair of Merrell boots I have purchased and you can believe the hype. They require ZERO break-in time. My feet were completely dry after a long rainy hike. Super comfortable with very nice ankle stability. I have glass ankles so that was a nice bonus.

I got these boots 7 months ago and the are my everyday hiking boots. I HIKE AROUND 15 MILES A DAY AFTER WORK. I DON'T USE THEM FOR WORK I USE. RED WING SHOES WITCH ARE ALSO A GREAT PEAR OF SHOES. THE MERRELLS ARE MY MLST FAVE SHOE BECAUSE they are Very nice and durable. the gore tex waterproofing is one of my fave things about them. I tested them on the first day I got them by putting them in a 5 gallon bucket with just enough water to go to the top. so I left them in there for 24 hours and WOW the where not wet at all. and the vibram souls are amazing. like I said I hike around 15 miles a day and they held up for so long the in souls are not very good but other than that the are a 5 star boot. I got a new pair today on sale for 125 so that's good!

I had a pair of these, so bought the new ones for my husband. He loves them. No wet feet, no slip sliding on the ice. Dry feet in all types of water and slush.
