Have never had a problem with Merrill hikers. Really like the extra ankle support with this higher boot.
Can wear on all day hikes and feel great.
Highly recommend them.

I ordered A LOT of hiking boots to find a pair that fit my wide feet (8 W) and would be comfortable for an upcoming winter trip to Europe that will include a lot of walking/hiking. These shoes felt great right out of the box. I was a little worried that the mesh upper would not keep my feet warm enough, but no worries. I wore them all day walking around our upstate New York city in 14 degree (not counting windchill) weather, and these boots kept my feet toasty warm while outside and comfortably warm when inside. The tread really helped me navigate the icy sidewalks, too. My feet and legs were not fatigued or uncomfortable at all even after five hours in these boots. As for the 3 stars for style, these look exactly like what they are, which is fine. This will likely be the only footwear I take to Europe, so I would love a boot that's functional AND stylish (I know they're out there, sadly they don't fit). That said, they're not awful looking and will definitely get a lot of use aside from the Europe trip.

I love these hikers. I have worn them for two full days so far and they felt very comfortable right out of the box, no sore feet, no tender spots, just warm toes and comfort! I have not taken them hiking yet, just walking around town but I feel certain they will perform well on a hike based on their comfort at first wear. Regarding the fit, I wear an 8.5-9 depending on the shoe but mostly 8.5, I purchased the 8.5 and the 9 thinking I would keep the 9 since I will be wearing thicker than normal socks but I'm so glad I tried both because I ended up keeping the 8.5 and though I have wide feet I didn't order the wide toe box and they are very comfortable. I returned the 9, along with 2 other pairs of hikers I tried out and as usual Zappos customer care team assisted me with the stellar service I appreciate from this company!

These boots fit well, and go thru mud, wet, steep, rocky- even miles of urban sidewalks with no issues. So comfortable and sure-footed that I never think about them.

Thank you first for making a 10.5 wide boot for women! It's been a rough road trying to find the perfect boot for my backpacking trips! These boots fit my feet like a glove, comfortable, great arch support (for me at least), nice ankle support, waterproof keeping my feet dry during a recent muddy hike. Thank you again for making a boot in this size!!!!

I haven't worn these out in wet trail conditions yet (and if I'm not satisfied after doing so I'll come back and speak up,) but wearing them to teach in on my 12-hour day this week was awesome. Great support and comfort. A little slippery indoors on smooth wet tile, but that isn't what they were made for, so I won't complain.
It's amazing and incredible to find women's hiking boots in my size; I despaired of ever finding any more years ago when I got to the point where 9.5M and 10M women's boots wouldn't work anymore, and so I had been wearing ugly-colored men's hiking boots instead. Then Facebook showed me an add for the women's MOAB and it was available in 11W, so I absolutely had to try it out. It's comfortable even over the big toe I broke last year which healed crooked!
I'm so glad I tried these boots. They beat even my men's Eddie Bauer Lukla Pro Mids, which I have been extremely comfortable in. There was enough room in my 11W that I got another color that was only available in a 10.5W, and I think they're going to be fine, too!
Thanks, Merrell, for serving hard-to-fit customers like me!

I love these new hiking boots, but the sizing was a bit tricky. The agent helped me with the size according to my size with my Dansko shoes. Either the Dansko run large or the Merrell run small. I started with an 8 and exchanged until I received a 9 wide that fit perfectly. The arch support is nil, so I bought OTC inserts and all is well. The Zappos service was outstanding with the selection of the hiking boots and the several returns. Kudos to Zappos return policy and to the agents' knowledge and patience.
I am now a happy hiker with happy feet thanks to Zappos!

These shoes are lightweight, super comfortable out of the box and several people have commented on how good they look. The support all around is quite good. I’m very happy with the look and the fact that my feet were ache free at the end of the day.

Believe all the great things people say about these hiking boots! They are truly comfortable right out of the box. Bought them for a quick trip to Iceland and wore them the whole time I was there. I have trouble walking great distances because my feet begin to hurt but with these boots on I kept up with all my traveling companions. Prior to the trip the only breaking in I did was wearing them for a couple of hours a week before we went. My feet stayed warm, dry and comfortable the entire time in spite of some cold weather (come on, people, it's Iceland!). For all of you who struggle to find comfortable footwear, look no further!

Finally Merrell produced a boot in a wide width that fits. I am actually able to wear a pair of hiking socks with them, but they also feel comfortable with a pair of cotton athletic socks. I've worn the MOAB low hikers for years, but the mid-hiker has always been too narrow. I got these this past spring and they have been wonderful. I hiked more than 600 miles along with a couple of short backpacking trips this summer and they were very comfortable. Even after all that hiking, they are still in pretty good shape. I can't think of a single complaint.
I am very happy with how they did perform in wet conditions. Are they really waterproof? Depends. I never tried actually wading in them, but they kept my feet dry when it rained and when walking across very shallow rivulets. They didn't keep my feet dry when I slipped and the water was higher than the boots....but what do you expect.
I'm planning to purchase a second pair as replacement boots to stick in the closet. If things didn't deteriorate over time, I think I would buy a lifetime supply. This is only the second pair of boots in the last 30 years that have fit my feet and feel comfortable.
THANK YOU MERRELL

Love these boots. Comfortable right out of the box. I have a high instep and wear orthotics so it's difficult for me to find good fitting shoes. No problem. I feel my heel is very secure and stable. Will most likely buy the low cut version as well.
Highly recommend. I bought the 8.5 wide width.

Right after buying this boot I went hiking in the Red River Gorge Kentucky for a few days and I can say that these are the most comfortable boot that I have ever purchased. I even slipped into a stream that we were crossing by walking on rocks and water went over top of my boots and I did not even get water in them. Kept my feet warm without sweating. Love them!

My old pair finally needed to be replaced. Came to your site and saw their twin. I do add my orthotics and like the easy removal of the footbeds. I have a narrow foot but these can be laced tight enough to keep my foot in place. I've never been disappointed with your shoes or boots and will keep coming back for more.

I loved these boots the minute I opened the box! The sizing was perfect and they wrap comfortably around my ankle. I love the extra padding for arch support. the colors are great and I look forward to getting much use out of these boots for years to come

These boots were comfortable right from the beginning. I just returned from hiking in Utah and they were great the entire time. They are fairly light weight and gave me the support I need.

I love these boots, very comfortable from day one, hike every day and havent had one issue with them. Looking to purchase another pair??
I have wide feet and usually wear a 81/2 in footwear (a size larger in running shoes) but the 81/2 in these did not feel quite right so i tried a 81/2 wide and they felt too big, so i went with the 8wide and they felt PERFECT. You cant go wrong with these!

I tried on many different comparable shoes and these ones were by far the best. They were roomy but not so roomy that my foot was sliding all over the place. And they were comfortable around my ankles while still giving support.

The boots fit my wife as expected. They are comfortable and lightweight and do not require a break-in period of use. They provide lots of support to her foot and ankle.
