Customer Reviews Merrell Moab Ventilator

This is my second pair of Ventilators. I wore a hole in the heel lining of my old pair. Otherwise they are still holding up well (if I could figure out how to patch that hole). I also had to go up a 1/2 size to accommodate my new Orthotic insert with thicker hiking socks. These new ones are now more comfortable that the old ones. I wear these for hiking on easier trails where I don't need a full boot for ankle support. They are my favorite/most comfortable shoe for walking the cobblestones in Europe. Keep in mind, they are not water proof of you get caught in a rainstorm, but they dry overnight typically. One tip from my old pair. Merrell sells replacement inserts and if you order the 7mm thickness, it adds a lot of cushion to the bottom of you feet when walking on hard surfaces!

Extremely comfortable. I forget that I have them on. I normally wear 6.5 (and have a wide foot). Bought these in a 7.

These shoes felt solid and mostly very comfortable except, my toes just did not feel right at the top. I had enough room, but I just did not feel comfort and it was as if I felt my foot pull a bit to pronate inward. I was wanting them to fit badly as they are nice looking and even tho my heel sometimes slips, they did not in these. They were just not quite right for me. With regrets, I am returning and will try another style. Thanks, Zappos, for your really great service and speedy delivery and refunding. You are amazing in the service department!

Compared to other athletic shoes I've had these shoes are a bit roomier overall. I find that they're comfortable and haven't needed any "breaking in" time. I want to be able to wear fairly heavy socks with them and that certainly will work.

Very comfortable shoe. I felt this shoe runs a full size short/small. The width seemed true. The arch support is outstanding. Just a great shoe!

I bought two sizes, as I am never quite sure of the fit. My friend bought the pair that I would have returned. Win, win for both of us!

I ordered two sizes because I am never quite sure which will fit. My friend bought the pair that I would have returned. Win, win!

Quality shoe. Very comfortable. Definitely needed 1/2 size larger. Of course, service from Zappos was superb!

I love these shoes! Took them to North Carolina and hiked through the woods in mud, over wet rocks, and fallen trees. I did not slip once in these shoes. My feet stayed dry and comfortable on ever hike. These are my new favorite outdoor shoes.

Wonderful, right out of the box. Merrell makes great hiking footwear. This makes my fifth pair of Merrell and I love them! And there is not enough space to write how much I love Zappos!

I purchased these hiking shoes the day before I left for Bryce, Zion, and the Grand Canyon National Parks. The shoes were light weight, extremely comfortable, and provided excellent traction for my trail hiking. I cannot comment on the arch support because I inserted my prescription orthotics. I can honestly report that without the shoes, I would not have been able to traverse the moderate trails as well as I did. I never had to "break them in." Out of the box, they were ready to go.

I was looking for a quality hiking/walking shoe for camping. I've never owned a Merrell shoe but I've always known they have been reviewed as a quality made company. I was nervous about the reviews for the size so I just went with ordering a half size bigger. I'm an 8 women's and ordered the 8.5. So, happy I did. They fit great. No heel slippage and the medium width is just right. Happy camper!

Not all Merrell shoes fit the same! This style was exactly what I've been looking for, a dual-duty walker/hiker that wouldn't be too hot to wear in the summer. I tried 4 other Merrell styles, but this one felt so superior over the others. The footbed feels so much more substantial and supportive. The arch is just right, and the overall cushion isn't firm and thin like some other Merrell hikers. Right out of the box I wore these for 2 weeks straight, working outside all day. Then I took several 4 mile hikes, and my feet are so so happy! They definitely aren't too hot, and you can feel the ventilation. I am a size 7, but order 7.5 in a running shoe, so I got this one in that size and it's perfect! It's also plenty wide for my C-D width foot, even though it comes in "M" width.

I purchased these shoes in a size 10. A half size larger than I usually wear, based on reviews. I purchased the Beluga/lilac. They are a versatile color, I would like if they had added a lot more lilac than they did. They are mostly just dark gray. The fit is absolutely perfect. They seem very roomy in the toe box, which is very comfortable walking. The arch is exactly in the right spt which shows me the size is the correct one. They are very supportive and feel wonderful on my feet. I would recommend these shoes absolutely.

This is probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever put on my feet! I usually wear pretty comfy shoes, but not much compares to these. I have developed a Morton's neuroma in my left foot, I think from wearing Keen sandals. I have to wear really flat, supportive shoes with plenty of toe room. I ordered some Aasics and New Balance and they were uncomfortable and cheap looking/feeling compared to these. The Merrels appear to be made from high quality, soft materials. I ordered a half size up based on other reviews, but I think my regular size would have been fine. I'm keeping these, as they fit well and the little bit of extra toe space means my toes have plenty of room!

Great shoes! I wore them on a 6-mile hike with no issues. They provided great support traversing rocks, as well as going up and down inclines. I had no blisters or any other issues to speak of. And for hiking shoes, they are fairly attractive. :-)

I bought these hiking shoes to replace an old pair of Merrells. I typically take a size 7, but found them to be large, so returned them for a 6 1/2, which fit perfectly. These were comfortable the first time I wore them, and are perfect for short trail hikes. Highly recommend.

I love these shoes. I've had issues with Merrell fitting my feet in the past but these are perfect. The hold the heal well and are wide enough in the toes.I'm on my feet all day everyday and these take the beating like a champ!

After purchasing 5 different pairs of hiking shoes and returning all of them, this pair finally fits my feet. I wear a 7 to a 7.5 in a sandal and went with a size 9 in this shoe. I love the fact that there are 13 holes/loops through which the laces go, so the shoes can really be fastened well to your feet. The toe box is finally wide enough for my feet. I ordered the Aluminum/Marlin color, which I thought would be more purple/periwinkle, but it is definitely a blue. I will be wearing them with my orthotics.

These shoes have great support and cushion, and well made. I wear the quite a lot. On my feet quite a bit. These are definitely worth it!

Dearest Zappos, thank you so very much for the speedy delivery. The boots arrived just in time for the evening dog walk where I inadvertently stepped on a rusted roofing nail. Had I been wearing my sneakers the nail would have passed through into my foot. Very happy with these boots and the use I have already gotten from them. Dearest Merrell thank you for making an excellent product, the nail left almost no trace once removed, quality craftsmanship.

I like these so much I got a pair for work and home. I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse and these are comfortable and supportive.

I'm on my feet eight hours straight. I've broken my ankle after age fifty and have had foot issues ever since. I recently developed Plantar Fasciitis and man is it painful. So I read the reviews and found other Merrell wearers. I'm so glad I ordered these shoes. I am now going to order Merrell sandals. Hurting feet no more. Oh, and I love Zappos.com They have an awesome Customer Service Team. Kudos to you.

Hands Down - BEST SHOE EVER I bought these shoes for a three(3) week long trip traveling around Europe traveling with some girlfriends. We began in Amsterdam, then went on to Brussels, Cologne, Munich, then London. In these three weeks, I walked a total of 110 miles. Yes, 110 miles in three weeks of walking all over these beautiful cities. In these three weeks and 110 miles, NOT ONCE did I ever get a blister on my feet. I state this because after the first night in the hotel room and every day thereafter, my girlfriends were each changing out band-aids on their feet and toes, and I just watched in disbelief but of course gloating on the inside because I didn't have to deal with the additional pain of blisters. In Amsterdam specifically, I think due to the all stone pave streets and generally bad sidewalks, my feet did ache, but with smoothly paved streets and general rough terrain, these shoes ROCKED! These are absolutely my go to shoe for days where there will be lots of walking/standing. I can't believe I didn't have these shoes sooner, but am so very glad I found them. Better late than never!!!

Love these hikers! They were comfortable right off the bat but I did add a heel cup under the included insole since I have a history of plantar fasciitis. The shoe is light weight but has a nice firm sole. I am a 6.5-7 in dress shoes, 7.5 in most running shoes. I got these in a 7.5 and they fit perfect with medium thick socks...with some room at the toes.
