Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 2 Mid Waterproof

The stitching on the heel is painful The inner boot is pointed on the heel where the lining seem is stitched. The pain from popped blisters on my heels is unbearable. I only wore them once

Lace retention loop came unstitched on one of my Moab 2s. Now boots are useless. A lot of money for a pair of boots that are rendered useless by poor stitching!!!

Why has the shoes quality nose dived? I have bought many pairs and have loved and bragged about them and now this is a different shoe.

I bought a pair of these moab 2 about 8 years ago. The first pair I got, within 2 months the one lace loop came out. I took them back to the store at the time and they exchanged them because it was only 2 months. I was impressed with the second pair. Fast forward 7 years and decided to get another pair. Oct 2020. I never really wore them since I wanted to wear the others ones out. I started wearing the new ones sometime in September 2021. By the way not every day. Now this new pair, the upper brass lace hook is loose. The one rivet has come out. It's a little over a year since purchase and what can I do. Will I buy another Merrel product? Probably not. I tried to upload a picture but for some reason it wouldn't work.

My friend and I both wore these on our 10mi hike up Mt. Washington and a weeklong trip in Acadia. The shoes felt fairly stable if not a little clunky but a few minutes in I started getting a sharp pain in my achilles from the shoes. When we stopped for a quick water break, I tried loosening my achilles but the pain came back pretty quickly. I think it might be the U shaped cut at the back of the shoe, but as soon as I removed them the pain subsided. This happened for both the 10mi 4000' elevation gain hike and the shorter less strenuous hikes in Acadia (5 total, roughly 30-40 miles) My friend also experienced the same pain despite her shoes having many more miles on them, so likely not a broken-in situation. Wish I could return these but unfortunately I cannot - that being said, other people seem to be happy with them.

I bought a pair for each grandson for Boy Scouts. The first hike something snagged the boot and they ripped easily and of course are no longer waterproof. That was a big, expensive disappointment. They should be able to withstand one hike I the woods!

I deeply disappointed in the Moab2 "waterproof" because the boots are not even close to actually being waterproof. A hike through ankle-high wet grass this morning left the boots soaked on the outside (fine) but inside as well. The sole may be waterproof but the "select-dry" upper is not. The boot is fine in dry weather and I have a comfortable fit but the leaky upper is a deal-breaker. The boot performs better in snow than rain because the moisture is frozen.

When hiking my mind is free to wander but when wearing these boots it comes back to the same thought. How could Merrell betray my trust and loyalty by selling me these boots as waterproof. I have not purchased another brand of boots for over 20 years. Merle is so confident in the quality of their boots that they warranty them for a total of 60 days. Solomon will stand behind my new boots for a total of 2 years. If you buy a pair of waterproof Merrell boots make sure you buy the Gore-Tex version. Gore-Tex will stand behind the waterproofness of their product after your 60-day warranty expires

I bought these brand new 3 months ago, at first I was very happy, the shoes fit great and are comfortable, but then out of nowhere they started to squeak super load when I walk. I work on my feet all day so now when I walk down the halls I get looks, plus it's just a really annoying sound. To me it seems a brand new show shouldn't do this at all, especially considering the price I paid for them. I've tried baby powder and all the other online tricks but nothing has worked, super disappointed.

I have purchased 2 pair of their "water proof" boots and they are not at all water proof right out of the box! Contacted the factory, sent pictures of things that they asked for, but they would do nothing because I did not have a receipt. They admitted nothing and just stonewalled me! Also the soles break down rapidly and the boots become uncomfortable.

While it's a very comfortable boot, the soles are already falling off with less than 40-50 miles on them. Not very impressed.

My first pair of Moab 2 Mid Waterproof hikers was replaced under warranty because they were not waterproof. Light snow, wet grass, walks in the rain all led to soaked feet. I thought maybe a bad batch. The warranty replacement pair was not much better. I didn't use them in Winter for that reason and at just two years the upper boot has completely separated from the soles. Unfortunately outside the 1YR warranty. Read the many 4 and 5 star reviews to see the common thread...poor manufacturing. Too bad because the boots were light and very comfortable. I'm moving on.

Please bring back the Goretex version of these. The merrell "waterproofing" kills breathability

Boots are comfortable but I've had to return them on two separate occasions as the glue comes apart on the heels. Unfortunately, I can't get a refund so I'm stuck with a credit.

I bought these boots 3 months ago and used them for hiking a few miles on two occasions and loved the feel of them but then today I hiked through some wet snow for the first time and low and behold my left foot became soaked. Very disappointed. My last pair of waterproof Merrill boots weren't waterproof either but didn't have the "gortex" label on them but these do and I was sure they would work because of that label.

These boots are definitely not waterproof. I regret getting these instead of the gortex. After walking in some snow for about 20 minutes, I could feel that my socks were damp. It took a few days for the inside of the boots to dry. They'll be fine to walk in dry conditions but these are definitely *not* waterproof. Extremely disappointed since I did a fair amount of research on "waterproof" vs "gortex". The reviews stated that if I was planning on crossing a stream, the gortex but if I was just walking in the rain, then waterproof would suffice.

I brought two pairs because they were very comfortable and the vibram-made soles are unparalleled in traction and durability. Unfortunately, Merrell's shoddy manufacturing ruins it. After a few hikes, all four boots developed leaks to the point where I get wet feet from the slightest puddle or wet grass. After continued wear, it is clear that the sole glue starts to fail and separate almost immediately.

Wore them in the rain. Both feet were soaked afterwards. Not waterproof.

Bought these a year ago for when I'm outside in the winter. They are fine for walking around when it's dry. Now that my waterproof work boots are shot, I put these on to walk around the yard, picking up blow down from a recent wind storm. My feet are soaked from the dew on the grass. I double checked the model number on the inside of the tongue to make sure I had purchased the "waterproof" version of this boot. I would not even call them water resistant.

Bought these a couple of months ago, so much for waterproof boots. After walking thru the rain, on a sidewalk, no walking thru the grass, no walking thru puddles, nothing, my socks are wet. This is my third pair of Merrell's, first two pairs were great, this pair, not so much. I wish I would have read the reviews before buying them, could have saved myself some time and money. Never again.

I received these yesterday as a birthday gift to use on the trail in a few weeks and the second time I put them on the loops that hold the laces broke right off just from pulling the laces taught to tie them.

Shoes are great - the 'after sale email marketing' is overwhelming and not appropriate for the country I live in. I live in Canada and was bombed with USA sales. They just won't leave you alone after you make a purchase.

Beware.. not waterproof at all. Your feet will get wet

Bought two pairs same size but one was half a size to big. Both had problems with the lacing bunching up then unraveling. The second pair same problem plus the stitching was coming undone in toe area. Both pairs were bought at the same time and were alternated during a six month period. I wore them when i walked my dog on the sidewalk. Not worth the money.
