I'm a size 8.5 wide but tried the Moab 2 Vent size 9, since some reviews mentioned it running small. The 9 was almost OK but a bit large - the 8.5 fit perfectly. This is is contrast to the Moab 2 Waterproof which DID run small - the Moab 2 Waterproof 9 wide was a perfect fit, although perhaps a bit narrower than the Moab 2 Vent 8.5 wide.

Very durable, substantial shoe. Some arch support however, I have to use my own orthotics which the shoes accommodate no problem. I get compliments on how they look all the time. These are my urban hikers.

The thick padding around the collar seems to be pushing my foot forward so that the arch support is not in the right place and uncomfortable. I took the insole out and it fits perfectly to my arch when not in the shoe. I love the way these look and wish I could keep them but also have realized that I accidentally ordered the version that is not waterproof. So I'm returning them and trying some other options.

I have a very narrow foot. The shoe was way too big all around. It is comfortable and very well constructer shoe.The shoe is heavier than others and has a bulky look. Strictly a trail shoe not for fashion off trail. Good support. If you have a wide foot or need to have room for hammer toes this would be a good shoe for you. Lots of room in the toe box.

The shoes are comfortable. I walk more than a hundred miles a month and they are comfortable. The only thing that would make these shoes better is if the soles would last longer. I only get 300-400 miles out of the soles...

I have enjoyed these heavy duty shoes when walking in nature. They are comfortable and roomy enough for thick socks. They provide stability on uneven pathways. The only negative for me is that they are heavier than I anticipated; therefore, I would not want to pack them for travel or wear them on an airplane.

These are very nice for pleasant conditions, which means I trashed mine in no time flat because I was stomping around in the woods in prolonged wet weather. I finally got a pair of Merrell Kiruna Mid Zips, which have been fabulous in deep mud and and for snowshoeing and still look brand new even after months of heavy use. So I'll keep the Moab 2 for when a sneaker isn't quite enough, but stop there.

Very comfortable shoe with good arch support. Unfortunately when I walked my feet slid forward and my toes would hit the front of the shoe and felt crunched. I’m not sure if a larger shoe would solve the problem. I returned the shoe.

Great to find a woman's wide hiker, but I could feel too much of the rocky trail for comfort. Improved a lot after I inserted a well padded insole.

I had great heel support but actually felt like there was nothing betweeen the bottom of my foot under my arch and my toes. Kind of like a hollow feeling.

Overall these seem like a good hiking shoe, but they don't work for my feet. The toe grab in the footbed fits too short. I tried a half size bigger, but that has the same problem plus it slips off the back of my heal. I'm going back to my Merrell flex.

Good fit on my feet and comfy to walk in. The soles were a bit more stiff than I was looking for walking shoes, but they would probably be great on a trail. The soles are pretty rugged and the overall look is a bit drab.

This is my 4th per of Moab Ventilators. Obviously love the comfort and support. Some of the new changes are not so good. The Moab 2 insole is too hard and high profile, I preferred the old style softer foam. And I do wish they would lose about 2 inches off the fat tongue, so it doesn't stick up so much. It would make a great shoe fabulous.

I've been wearing them to go birding in SW Idaho. My first pair I wore every time I was out looking for birds, hiking, and biking. This second pair is a little too wide and I ordered a 7 because I think the reviews said to order a 1/2 size up. I wish I hadn't done that because they are a tad loose. I did order DarnTough midweight merino wool sox and that seems to help with a snugger fit. The shoes are very comfortable otherwise.

They are lightweight, comfortable at first, nice arch support, did work well on a hike. I give it 3.5 stars tho because they were comfortable, but in the middle of my hike the ball of my feet started hurting/blistering could barely walk when i got home and still the next day, Like there was a lot of rubbing on my ball of feet when doing downhill, Ive never had that problem with my Columbia Newtown ridge hiking boots. maybe i need to get socks that are anti-friction/anti-blistering....??? any ideas. Its too bad that happened because they were comfortable, breathable, lightweight, my husband loves them and he recommended I get some. I wish i had a picture :/

Only worn them a few times so far, but they're living up to expectations. I'll see how they are after some more rigorous use.

I like these, and they fit OK in the toe box, which is my biggest challenge. However, they do seem to be slipping around the heel. That's a recipe for blisters and all kinds of other problems if you're hiking any distance. Back they go.

A very comfortable, durable but light weight hiking shoe. I am normally a 10 but they did not fit so I returned them for a 10 1/2. Toebox appears narrow and long but feels great! The sole has a great grip for all kinds of steep, rocky terrain.
