Customer Reviews Merrell Moab Mid GORE-TEX® XCR®

What a relief! I ordered these to replace the Salomons I had which hurt my feet and didn't track well. I'm so glad I returned to Merrell. I've owned previous versions of this boot, and, like before, this boot delivers! Comfort, traction, styling. Lesson learned. I'll stick to these trusty Moab's from now on.

Great pair of boots, very good materials and construction quality, fit and comfort from the first time worn. Recommend them highly and will purchase another pair when these wear out. Last pair is 5 years old.

I'm a mailman and I use this shoe to keep my feet dry during rain and dew on the grass. Can't wait to try them in the snow. They do get a little warm on hot days. Good comfort. Durable. Wish they had them in all black. I wear size 11 Nike tennis shoes and had to order these at 10.5.

I always buy Ecco or Mephisto, Assolo. For me I went out of my comfort zone, and it paid off big! They are lighter than most tennis shoes. I love the Vibram soles and had to have Gortex. I love these boots, and I love Zappos!

I bought these to wear as work boots and they are great so far. They really are comfortable, even right out of the box, and even after a long day of climbing on roof trusses and walking on freshly sheathed roofs, where your ankles are subjected to awkward angles. I tested the Gore-Tex in a fat muddy puddle after a rainy day on the jobsite and didn't feel a drop in my shoes, but they're breathable enough that my toes don't bake on hot summer days.

This is the third pair of my husband's go-to hiking shoes. Sure he needs a custom orthotic, but their great fit only enhances this shoes performance and comfort. He is a 12W which is a hard shoe size to find in good hiking shoes. They have good grippy soles, true waterproof, stability. For his hiking sake, I hope Merrell never stops making them.

Awesome shoe from day 1. They are totally comfortable. They are perfect for people with wide feet. My orthotics fit in them beautifully. Keep your feet comfortable and dry in wet or snowy weather. Highly recommended.

These Merrell Moabs are very light and well made. I typically wear a 10 4E in most shoes, and the 10 W fits in these Merrills, albeit it's a bit snug. I had to try two pairs of 10 Wides to find a pair that was wide enough -- the sizing isn't consistent from pair to pair. I also added additional padding via an additional insole.

I'd give this a 5-star on comfort, but they took a while longer to break in than I expected and the toe-box is a little stiff. However, I believe that is standard to Gore-Tex and not the shoe. My wife has a pair of Moab Ventilator Lows and does not have this problem, but did experience the same with her Siren Sport Gore-Tex. Overall, these boots are great; sturdier than the Altama's and New Balance Tactical's I wore in the service. I've worn these hiking in CO and hunting here in KS and they perform great. I've found all of the 6 pairs of Merrell's my wife and I own to be consistent in sizing - across several models including my 6-year old Chameleon II's. The toe-box is roomy, but not too big. None of our Merrell's have narrow toe-boxes that squish your feet; the width and length conforms to our feet well. I'm a Merrell fan for life - the only complaint I have is that they're made in China, I'd pay extra to have them made in USA.

This is the third pair of these that I have bought for my husband because he loves them. They provide great support and he likes wearing them with jeans and cargo shorts. He needs arch support too and these provide it.

A friend recommended these boots. I absolutely love them. They are easy to get on/off and they feel great. Well worth the cost.

Extremely comfortable with good arch support and grippy soles. Warm (but not sweaty), even when it's 10 degrees outside. Love the easy lacing system, and the gusseted tongue keeps debris out. So far I've used these for walks in the woods with my dog. I'd recommend these to anyone. I usually take a women's 8 wide, but Merrell doesn't make a Mid GTX boot in women's wide - so I got the mens 7 medium, which works perfectly.

Got these for my husband, who has "Fred Flintstone" feet that are very difficult to fit. He loves them with the first wearing and continues to rave about them.

My super-picky and very rough on shoes husband loves these. He's going on his second season of tough wear with these boots and they still look new. Would definitely buy another pair. Great investment and he says they're really comfortable.

I work outside every day in every weather condition that Northeast Ohio brings. I also enjoy fishing and hunting and these boots can do it all. The boots perform excellent in all of them. I just ordered my second pair of mids and before that I wore out a pair of the lows. I highly suggest the Gore-Tex to anyone who is going to deal with anything from a morning dew to a all out rain or snow storm. My only complaint is wish the dark chocolate colors from the low were available in the mid.

I bought these boots for a difficult 27 mile backpack trip in the late fall. I'm a bigger guy at 6'2, 210, size 13 W and have a rough time finding a boot that fits good. I bought mine at Bass Pro shop last year and it was well worth it. I put some serious rough miles on these and it's like they are invincible. I was the only one on the trip that wasn't complaining about how bad their feet hurt. These rode like Cadillacs though rough terrain and remained dry the entire time. I'm pretty sure the Vibram sole is to thank for this. I've had them for over a year now and there is not a single problem with the boot other than the tread is worn down. I've waterproofed them a few times as you normally should and still have dry feet. I now work for UPS and have to run through snowy yards and slippery porches and these are just great. I saw a bad review on these and was blown away. I'm buying another pair right now.

This is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I ever owned. Well constructed, and very supportive for the feet. I got the Gore-Tex, knowing I will get the protection from water getting in, but at a price of little ventilation. In warm weather, my feet are sweaty.

As a member of Gore MountainTechs, I have the opportunity to field test GORE-TEX gear in some of the harshest conditions. I purchased these boots many years ago and they have been my go-to boot for backpacking and long day hikes. They have not disappointed. The fit was excellent out of the box, honestly almost no break in period for me. The traction is superb on steep and even loose terrain, but I have had toe pain after long steep descents...probably not the boot's fault though. They're certainly waterproof, no issues there. The only complaint is that after years of use (getting wet, warming by a campfire, etc.) they have shrunk about a half size and now fit very snug. Overall, awesome boot and I'll absolutely be purchasing Merrells again in the future!

Love these shoes, they are comfortable right out of the box! No noticeable break in period before using them. I highly recommend these for anyone that wants a nice light weight boot, or trail shoes.

These Merrell boots are great. They fit perfect and are very comfortable.I have wide feet and these were one of the few brands available in a wide size.

My husband loves theses shoes! He has had his knee replaced and works on concrete all day at our tire shop. These shoes give him the support he needs and as soon as they wear out, he orders another pair! I love Zappos, I won't buy my shoes anyplace else! Free next day shipping is amazing!

Extremely happy with how they fit right out of the box. I have very wide feet and they fit perfectly. Also did some hiking recently with them and they were very comfortable.

Owned for 1 week (for comparison). The boots are flexible in all the areas they needs to be for proper movement of the foot. I felt no heel slippage and the roomy toe-box allows the toes to spread on impact which makes them feel stable and comfortable. The cushioning in the heel is moderate. I enjoy the lower heel than most boots giving it a more natural feel to the heel striking the ground. The sole is moderately aggressive as you can tell by the picture so I would be cautious going on extreme inclines or declines while hiking in these. There's really no pulling tread for the forefoot and stopping tread for the heel like other more aggressive styles have. The boot feels broken in out of the box. These feel light but sturdy. In case you're interested, I tried 2 other boots and the Merrell's won in my opinion: Garmont Flash III, North Face Hedgehog Leather.

I am a woman and wear size 12. These boots are very comfortable in winter snow and summer hiking. They breathe so you do not have sweaty feet. Very comfortable.

Bought these for hubby. He has been happy with Merrells for a few years, so it was a known entity. Got them for a trip with light hiking. Perfect.
