Customer Reviews Merrell Moab Ventilator

These shoes give good arch and lateral support and are excellent for stabilizing the foot when covering uneven terrain. The tread is excellent for providing traction. For those wishing s softer footbed, consider ordering a half size larger to allow for insertion of insoles.

I bought these to break in before a trip in June - but they were comfortable right out of the box. No breaking in needed!

A very good hiking shoe! I've had Merrell hikers before. So, I bought these last summer, but they did not work out because of knee issues. They are very stiff and hard and made my knees hurt. I kept them to try after knee replacement surgery over this past winter. I tried them again and they are just too hard and stiff for me.

My second pair of these trail runners and I love them. Perfect fit right out of the box, though I use an arch support.

This is my second pair of Moab Ventilators. I bought the first pair a year ago and have worn them a ton. These are my go to shoes for walking the dog (two miles/ per day), day hikes on trails and just around town. The best part is they are very comfortable and fit my feet well (wider forefoot, narrow heel, short toes). I love that Zappos stocks all the available color combinations. Another major retailer (where I am a member) only stocks the blue, which I really dislike. So Zappos got my business instead. It is so easy to find what you want, order and return or exchange. Thank you, Zappos!

I had not worn Merrell hikers before but I tried them on the recommendation from friends. These were comfortable right out of the box and since I am planning some adventure travel this year I also purchased the waterproof version of these boots. I am very happy with them both!

I am a first time hiker and bought these based on other reviews. I am so glad I did. The hikes we have done were challenging and I had the best traction in the group. These shoes are sturdy, comfortable and well worth the price. I typically wear a 7 1/2 and bought the 8. It was perfect.

I've been a HUGE Merrell fan for 15 years. A few months ago I ordered the Siren 2 sport but returned them as they were more of a traditional hiking shoe with the hooks at the top to tighten the show. Sadly, I found it very hard to tighten the shoes and so I returned them. I recently ordered the Moab Ventilator and really like them. I like the fact they tighten like a traditional sneaker. I usually order hiking shoes and sneakers 1/2 size larger than my traditional size, but found doing so with this shoe made them to big. My traditional shoe size was the perfect fit. There is not a lot of cushioning or support on the sole or toe bed but I think overall I'll have much more stability and traction hiking than I do with my sneakers. I like them and would buy another pair.

Great show, feels rugged and durable but lightweight. Runs true to size. Only negative is the laces are very short and can be difficult to tie. Noticed that in some other reviews too. Not a good enough reason to skip them though, I'm glad I got them!

Fantastic traction and good looking shoe. I have no doubt these will hold up well and perform great on hiking trails. I've worn them every day since they arrived. They are a little clunky, but I'm getting used to it as I break them in.

Love Zappos Good selection and quick delivery. Also good to have free shipping on returns in case one has to send purchase back.

This is my first experience with a Merrell sport shoe & I couldn't be more pleased. There's some kind of built-in support that I can feel that keeps me from over-pronating. I bought a half size larger which is a perfect fit. It's a very comfortable shoe that I use daily for hiking. Thanks to Zappos for the wonderful service and the reviews I depend on when buying my shoes.

This is my second pair of these tennies. I also have the earth tone color. They are comfortable, provide support, great for hiking and walking. I love them! And this color goes great with jeans. They are wide enough for my feet.

This shoe is now my favorite! High quality, good support of arch and heel, excellent lacing are all things I look for when buying shoes. This far exceeds any other shoe I have purchased!

I have been wearing this shoe for close to 5 years. When one wears out, I buy another. Excellent support and very good cushioning. Makes a great light hiker.

Size 7 fit perfectly! (Comments of others said runs small so I purchased the 7 and 7 1/2.) Very comfortable and exactly the shoe I have been looking for. Good tread for all conditions. Returns are so easy! Zappos service is excellent!

These shoes are great! I have always loved Merrells and I was not disappointed. These shoes are very comfortable and my toes have enough room length and width wise. I use them for hiking and they have plenty of traction.

Just bought my first pair of Merrell shoes ever and got the Moab ventilator. So comfortable and plenty of room at toe area. Can't wait to use them hiking at the Grand Canyon in a few months.

This is my 3rd pair of Merrell's Hiking Shoes.They wear like iron, they are SO comfortable, and lightweight.I doubt I will ever wear any other shoe for walking/hiking.And Zappos is just the BEST for customer service; truly caring, passionate people.

These are the best sneakers I've ever owned, perfect for my wide-sized feet with a wide toe box and great arch support. I would say they run a little small, because my size 8 feet sometimes hit the end, which wouldn't be great for a long hike, but for day-to-day wear they're fabulous! I'll reorder a half-size larger next time.

I bought this same pair (blue and grey color) several years ago, and they are the best sports shoes that I have had in a while. When it was time to replace them, I was glad to find exactly the same shoes here at Zappos. They are perfect with jeans!

This is my third pair of same style shoes. You could wear it in either tropical weather or cold condition. It will make you stay comfortable in both conditions. Go for it, you will not go wrong.

I sprained my ankle last year and had to find a shoe with good support. I loved these the moment I put them on. The ankle support is great due to an angled piece of metal or plastic in the diagonal around the ankle. When you put your foot down, it's solid and stable, without being claustrophobic. They are good looking. I wear them all the time.

I have been wearing these for 6 years now. I practically live in these shoes! I think they fit true to size, I wear and 8 1/2 and I order that size. Love the Vibram bottoms. They are so secure for everyday walking/hiking or when you want to go on a trail hike they really grip the ground and keep your ankle secure. I have bad planter Facietis in my heals and my arch tends to hurt in some shoes. These fit so good and I can hike for a few hours and my heels don't hurt. These shoes wear really long as well. I have not tried the waterproof Moab's but I like these as they breath well. They also keep my feet dry unless you are walking in puddles. I wear them all winter and my feet stay dry. Overall I have tried other brands and hikers and these fit and feel the best. For years I wore running shoes because I thought they would be best for my feet but these are way more comfortable and keep my feet more stable. You can't go wrong with these. Love them!

Great shoes with good support overall. They took wearing them about 2 weeks to break in. At first the arch felt high and made my feet ache. Once I wore them they stopped hurting. Also, they have a good sole with padding but not a lot of spring. Walking a long way (over 5 miles) on pavement may be a problem - just not enough spring.
