These shoes are extemely comfortable. Great cushioning. I feel like I'm walking on clouds. I'm not crazy about the style, to be honest. But for a pair of hiking shoes, I'm sold on the comfort.

Love, love, love these shoes! I am on my feet all day on concrete and these are exactly what I was looking for. Also, can not wait to take them on all my camping adventures. The first pair size 10 was a little small in the toe, and as I read reviews learned that Merrell tends to run small.
This was my first experience with Zappos and I was thrilled with the fast shipping and returns. Well done in exceeding my expectations!

I've had these for about a month. I usually walk in the woods for about 5 miles every day. These have been wonderful. I have a fairly wide forefoot, high arches and a narrow heel, and these have been very comfortable. They have enough room that I had no problem inserting my custom footbed for all my other foot issues but my foot does not slip around inside the boot. I read one reviewer who thought the Moab was not very stylish and I disagree. They are as stylish as a hiking boot can be. I'm almost tempted to buy another pair for when/if these wear out.

Wow. I love these shoes. Just got them, and they fit right out of the box. I have had bad plantar fasciitis, and the support feels excellent -- the heels are nice and stiff (that sounds bad, but it feels great). What is more, they fit orthotics without any problem at all (and I have two pairs, one less and more hardcore: both are fine in these shoes). I ordered my regular size and 1/2 size up, based on the other reviews. For me, my regular size worked well -- no idea why. The 1/2 size up were huge on me, even with both pairs of orthotics in the shoe at the same time! I am a 7 and have wider feet, so I really expected the size 7 not to fit, but that size, as it turns out, is perfect. Just one more not that it is important for me that the orthotics go in, in this case, because the arch support for people with foot issues like mine isn't quite enough. But I find that to be true, for me, with all shoes. My advice would be to order two sizes; I almost ordered only the 7.5, and I'm glad I got both so that I can start using this shoe right away. Never owned Merrell shoes before -- and I'm a convert. So happy with these shoes!

I love these shoes! The fit is great: having a narrow heel and wider toe box has made finding comfortable shoes almost impossible, but these are perfect. They are true to size.

I bought these for my wife after she saw the pair that I had. I told her they are the most comfortable shoes. She loves them.

Bought these for day hiking and love them. They are so comfortable, I sometimes wear them to walk the dogs. I need a roomy toe but my heel is narrow and I like the way they form fit my foot.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I have very high arches and often suffer from arch pain, ball of foot pain and knee pain when I walk for more than a half mile. Wore these all over Ireland and Rome with no problems. Great arch support and cushioning.

This is my first pair of Merrell shoes. The style is exactly what I was looking for. Needed comfy shoes to wear almost every day; with casual attire either jeans, skirts or shorts. I love them already.

I wish these had fit. I am looking for a pair of hiking boots but have arthritis in my feet and it has proved a task. I would recommend ordering a half size larger. I decided on a pair of Keens for now but may try these later in a larger size. Don't you just love Zappos?!

I love these shoes. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Often I get blisters after wearing a new shoe for the first time but not with these- they are light weight enough for walking and sturdy enough for hiking. I would highly recommend them!

Suffering from Plantar Fasciitis? This shoe provides terrific arch support. The sole is semi-rigid which prevents overstretching of the fascia with each step. The sole also provides neutral stability of the ankle so you are less likely to accidentally invert your ankle. I have suffered from plantar fasciitis for 8 years and this is the best shoe I have found thus far. It has a removable insole and accommodates my custom orthotics nicely. They are not a heavy shoe either. I bought a "B"width shoe even though I usually buy "W" and it was perfect.

These are awesome! They are sturdy and super light weight. They are a great combination although unexpected. I love these trekkers and will wear them on mountain hikes, walks and anywhere else. I love them!

I'm a massage therapist and I'm on my feet a lot. I was looking for a shoe that was comfortable, had good arch support and sturdy sole. I wasn't sure if I would like this shoe with the mesh at the toe box, but with the shoestrings being anchored with the shoe fabric, it supports my foot very well. I did insert a sport insole. This is a very comfortable shoe. I will be looking for other Merrell products I the future. I did have a small problem with the shoestring loop on the tongue becoming detached, but with a call to Zappos Customer Service a new pair was sent. And I appreciate the free return shipping. Zappos CS rocks!

I ordered these to replace my Keen Voyageurs. I've been using the Keens for walking (20+ miles per week with the dogs), and although I was happy with the fit of the Keens, I wasn't happy that the soles wear out so quickly. I chose the Merrells mostly because they have a Vibram sole, so I'm hoping they last longer. They're really lightweight and comfortable. I didn't need to break them in, and I was so happy the first week I wore them, my husband ordered a pair as well.

I so wanted to be able to wear these hikers. They are wonderfully lightweight. I need a wide toe box, and these shoes fit just fine in the front, but the support in the midsection was really uncomfortable. It felt like ridges were under both sides of the midsection of the shoe. This wasn't too noticeable at first, but after an hour of wear my feet really hurt on the sides. So back they went. I'm still searching for the elusive perfect hiker.

Love this shoe, but it really runs small. I usually wear a 9 and, based on other reviews, I ordered a 9.5 but they're still a little too small in the toe. Other than that, no complaints - very supportive and looks great.

I'm very happy with this shoe and I'm glad that I have a comfortable hiking shoe that does not rub me in the wrong places. Other shoes have given me horrible blisters that took a long time to heal. I wore these shoes to complete my first fourteener last year and now this year, I've put nearly 25 miles on them hiking Colorado mtn terrain. The shoes provide good support, are light weight and make me a happy hiker.

These shoes were great! I've had problems getting walking or hiking shoes that fit well and looked good at the same time. These fit the bill. I wore them around the house for a couple of days and still wasn't sure, since there was pressure around the ankle, but I had to commit for an upcoming trip. I ended up hiking around the northern Arizona canyons for 5 days with no problems. Plenty of space for the toes (I sometimes need to order a wide shoe), with good arch and ankle support. I'm thrilled with how these shoes fit, feel and look.

These shoes are perfect for active women, especially with kids. I searched specifically for the Q-Form option because I have very high arches and these are the only shoes comfortable enough to wear daily - at the store or at the park.

These are the best shoes for a lot of walking. I like them so much I now own two pairs and will probably not buy any other kind. I wore them on a trip to South America and walked most days all day for two and a half weeks. They have a comfortable sturdy sole that provides a lot of stability on uneven terrain. The upper construction (toe box) is big enough that there is no rubbing and therefore no uncomfortable raw spots on the toes. They are light weight. I didn't need the ankle support that comes with hiking boots. These were just perfect. Sometimes in regular shoes I wear a 9, but sneakers of all types require me to go up a size, so I have been ordering a 10 in these shoes.

Love these! No break-in time needed. Straight out of the box and on the trails with the dog. Although I'm a big fan of Garmont trail shoes, I am much happier with these. Great traction on rock/mud/sand etc. even in wet weather. I don't believe these are waterproof, but my feet stayed dry during a hike in the rain. Very happy with my purchase! And of course, Zappos rocks as far as delivery and customer service.

I can't even begin to tell you all just how comfortable these sneakers are and how much support they give. I have really "bad" feet and have had a surgery (unsuccessful) on one foot and contemplating surgery on the other. I got these, tried them on in the house for a few minutes and went for a three mile walk! They are light-weight and not too hot. I would recommend them to anyone. They ran true to size and there was plenty of room in the toe - both in width and length.

I am a Merrell fan -- shoes generally true to size and very comfortable. This pair was no exception. Wore them immediately on a trip with lots of city and countryside walking.

Phenomenal shoes. Had read plenty of reviews prior to ordering them. A good majority felt the shoes ran large. In my case they ran small. Normally take a size 9. Had to return and reorder a 9-1/2. Exceptional comfort. Exceptionally good looking. They hug your feet. Merrell shoes never disappoint.
