Customer Reviews Merrell Moab Ventilator

This shoe fit in length but was very narrow. I have a slightly wider foot but don't usually need to buy wide shoes. Otherwise it appears to be a great shoe - I wish it fit!

I live in my Moab Ventilators, when I'm not in my Merrell Encore Breezes. I have terrible feet and these are sturdy but gentle underfoot and the ventilation keeps my feet from getting over(f)heated. They're my standard for walking the dog and we walk a lot. I just bought my third pair. But they are pretty ugly, I must admit.

This shoe came recommended since I am on my feet all day on concrete. Tried my normal size but ordered the next 1/2 size up. Much better fit. Works well with my inserts also.

Very comfortable but too short and low in front on toes. I will try a half size up and cross my fingers it will still fit my narrow heel.

Finally a shoe that works. Have orthodics, a right hip replacement, a tender previously broken left foot,so need cushioning, support, stability..have tried Brooks, New Balance, Nike, Mephistos, etc etc etc. A friend suggested Merrells and I chose this one...after trying in stores and online many many shoes...this one fit comfortably and offered what I needed...or seems to...from get go. I will use this to walk outside with confidence I've not had for too long a time. Was an avid walker prior to hip replacement from fall and emergency surgery...look forward to doing that again as Spring breaks out in New England. Ordering another pair to have on shelf as know from experience manufactures change shoes and it's often hard to duplicate what you have even just months after...I ordered 1/2 size bigger to accommodate orthodics and was glad I did. Found I need to replace the shoes to solve the heal slippage, but once I did that these shoes fit very nicely.

I love this shoe - the only thing is that it does feel like my little toe on my left foot was being pinched - the other foot was fine, so maybe it was just my toe, or the socks I had on. Either way, I wore these shoes fairly new (only broke them in 2 weeks before our Colorado adventure vacation) and they were a lifesaver in the mountains! I love the color - the Beluga/Lilac was perfect - they looked good with my stretchy/yoga pants in either black or grey, and super cute with jeans. They look to be a little bit heavy/bulk, but they felt light on the feet, which was great when climbing in the higher altitudes. They are great on all types of terrain, especially the loose gravel surfaces and even in the snow! I wore them when we went horseback riding, and they were super snug and easy to clean afterwards. I am a Merrell customer for life now!

I really wanted to love these shoes and I wore them for several days in misery hoping it would get better. I got a size 8 which is what I normally wear, although sometimes I have to get a 8 1/2. These shoes were very tight and my toes on my right foot were jammed up at the top of the toe box, to the point my toe was curled under. I would have had to order a size 9 (something I have never worn) to even be close to comfortable.

I liked these shoes, and they fit well enough except for one item. They seemed to grip just a little at the heel, and it rubbed on the inside of my foot. If I had better arches it probably would not be a problem. They are light and have just enough tread for gravel and dirt trails where I walk the dogs.

I love these shoes; however, I've had to make a few adjustments. They run about a half size too small, and my big toe was rubbing the front of the shoe. I also added an arch support insert in addition to what comes with the shoe. I have high arches, so that wasn't a surprise. Otherwise, they are comfortable, walk like an old favorite pair, and look great. I would recommend them, but make sure the fit is correct before starting out on that first big walk.

Love these shoes. Right out of the box for a week of hiking the Rockies. No issues with break in time. Fit true to size, only feedback is the arch is a bit low for me, but with an insert. Perfect shoes.

These are great hiking shoes! They are lightweight, while still being very sturdy, and required zero break in time. I just returned from a week hiking in the mountains of Colorado and wore them everyday with no problems. However, since I have high arches, I removed the insole and replaced it with my own orthotics, as it had less arch support than I need.

Super cute. I borrowed a pair from a friend, and they were perfect. I bought my own pair, but have to return them. There is little arch support, and my foot feels like it is rolling in (pronating) super excessively. Very bummed because the first pair were amazing! So light, comfy and cute, too boot.

These shoes have worked beautifully. They seem to be a little bit on the wide side, but I didn't have any issues with that. I bought them and didn't break them in at all and wore them for a week straight on a walking/hiking trip to Germany. Very pleased with the shoes and with Zappos.

Great sturdy hiking shoes. I especially like them because they have a nice wide toe box. Comfortable too!

Ordered my regular size (9) and the fit is great. Really comfortable in the limited use I've had -- too rainy hear in VT to get to any real hiking yet this spring!

I like how light the shoes are, but they offer no arch support. Initially they were really comfortable, but as the day wore on, by feet really hurt due to no support. If you don't have arch issues, then no worries. But I have very flexible arches, so it is an issue with me.

Love the look of the shoe. I had to send the first pair back to get a larger size. The 1/2 size bigger worked well.

Have always been a New Balance person, but thought I'd try these. Lightweight, seems like good support (never wore them outside). I will be returning them. The width is fine, but the toe box is slightly too short. Wouldn't be a problem for regular shoes. But since I want them for trail hikes, I don't think they'll work.

Shoe was just not as comfortable as I expected it to be. Chose another hiker that's arch support fit me better.

I had a slightly different Merrell shoe and loved it, but it's not made any more! So I'm trying this model, and so far it seems to do just as well as the first Merrell. I would prefer being fitted with an actual shoe in a "real" shoe store, but since this isn't feasible for me due to where I live, Zappos is the next best thing.

The laces are in the wrong place for me, and rub the top of one foot where I've got a slight bunion. Other than that, these would have been very comfortable. I have several pairs of Merrell - sandals, another pair of hiking boots, and I just ordered some boots, and I love the brand. These had good cushion and support, but alas, they just didn't work for me.

These are nice shoes. Merrell's are great for my bad knees. These, however, could use some additional cushioning in the insole. They're very hard and my feet hurt after wearing them all day. Of course, that can be remedied with some inserts, but for the money you'd think they could spring for a little foam in the insole.

Love this shoe. I have a very wide foot (D) and it fits! would like to see a little more cushioning in the footbed but I can always put an inset into it.

I love the look and feel of this shoe, but for me, I needed a minimum of a 1/2 size larger. I ordered my normal size but my toes were touching the front. Thankfully, Zappos has an awesome return policy.

This is my second pair of Moab Ventilators. Love these shoes because they're sturdy and comfortable.
