Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 2 Vent

I love these boots. I think they could be just a tad stiffer but the good news...you don't have to break them in.

Finally a right shoe for my feet! I've been wearing regular width shoe to hike for a long time even when I knew I have a wider feet that needed more room than what has provided. Obviously at the end of most hike-trip I was complaining of how uncomfortable they were. Now that I got it in wide width, its like I can feel my feet loving me crazy, haha! Anyway just happy with my purchased.

I love the wide width Merrells. I'm very happy with both pair of shoes I've bought this year: the Siren and this Moab 2. My only problem is the laces on the Moab- they are round and come undone no matter what how tight i tie them. this is a major inconvenience when out walking. that is why i only give the shoe a 4 star. otherwise it is perfect!

The shoelace "sucks" they do not stay tied. The reason for 4 stars I stead of 5. The shoe lace are Round no matter how many double knots you due they come untied in a 2 hour hike they came untied 5x. The shoe is terrific

My husband must have ten pairs of Merrill boots and shoes. He kept encouraging me to try a pair, so I was excited to order my Moabs 2's. The footbed is hard, and they feel clunky and heavy on my 6.5 size foot. The longer I wear, the better they feel, but I'm just not in love. Sorry Moab, we may need to see others boots. I'm sure you will hang around for years, but I'm already planning to toss you to the back of my closet. I just wish I had returned, and started over. Yours Truly, Cat

The width of the shoe fits perfectly, however, the length for a size 8 shoe feels a little long. Not enough to return. They look great, can't wait totake long hike.

The shoe was very comfortable, loved the color. Unfortunately ran 1/2 size to large. Returning for a smaller size.

I bought these as an option for shorter local hikes after having fantastic luck with the Moab 2 waterproof hikers. This shoe is very durable with great tread. I did find the fit to be a bit different, having very obvious arch support, and wondered if maybe I should have purchased a size smaller since the support seemed to hit my arch in an awkward way. There was no way to know these would fit differently than the other hikers I've been wearing.

I usually wear 6 or 6/12, so first I order a 6: hurt my instep and I returned them. Then I order a 61/2: I looked and felt like Bozo, so I returned them. Then I ordered a 6 w. I wished they were a little more tight! I guess my foot is not designed for Merrell.

The first pair I ordered in a wide and after a few short hikes realized they were too wide. I then ordered the regular medium width. While these are more comfortable than the wide, they still seem roomier in the toe box than previous pairs. That said, I love the support they provide.

I love the Merrell fit and sole but every pair of hikers I have wears a hole in the back of the heels. Tighten up the laces around the ankles is not an option. Any suggestions on how to prevent this on my next pair?

First things first, this shoe fit AMAZING right out of the box. I hiked a total of 20 miles (4900 elevation between 2 mountains) in 2 days and day one was the first time ever putting them on. I was worried I was insane to try a new shoe on a 10 mile hike but they were perfect. Great traction going up. On the second day descent, however, it rained and I noticed some slippery traction (I fell a few times). I attribute this both to wet rock/unstable traction and tired legs. Only other thing is I'm finding them very hard to clean. Otherwise, would buy again 100x over.

It's very hard to find hiking shoes in small women's sizes (I'm a 5 - 5.5), especially in wide sizes. In the past, I've had to upsize to get enough width, but with these Merrell shoes, I can get my exact size and still have enough room in the toe box. I'm on my third pair, having logged many hundreds of blister-free trail miles. Please keep making these! My only complaint would be the shoelaces, as they seem to be a bit slippery and like to come untied.

I am very pleased with my new hiking shoes. They are comfortable straight out of the box with no need to work into them. They provide very good traction especially on down hill gravel trails. They also have a loop on the back of the shoes which really helps getting your shoes on quickly.

I've lost count of how many Merrell shoes I have. They fit my foot perfectly I can't seem to buy any other brand. The only objection I have is there's little choice of colors in the Moab 2 Ventilator. It would be fun to have a pair of red hiking boots on the trail. Or orange. The choices go from dull to duller!

I have only had them a short time but right out of the box they fit great and were comfortable for an easy hike. The shoe feels sturdy and is supportive. They are a little bulkier than I expected but I image that will be good for a back country hike I have coming up.

I ordered a wide because I wanted more room in the toe but alas, the toe box was way too big.

I'm a tried and true Merrell lover for over 25 years. I'm typically a size 9 in all of the pairs I own but these felt a little too big. The toe box is super roomy, which I'm hoping is the case in a smaller size because I have to return these for an 8 1/2. Other than that, they appear comfortable and im looking forward to wearing them soon!
