Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 2 Vent

This is a great shoe for hiking. My only issue was the insole did not hit my arch at the proper spot. It was as if the wrong size was used. It caused pain in my foot and arch. I happen to have other Merrill shoes so I tried the shoe with the insole out of my other favorites. That insole worked much better but still not as comfortable as my jungle Mocs. I have not worn them enough to break them in but with the exchanges insole I think they will be fine.

I have problems with my hips, knees, ankles, and feet and these are the only shoes that align everything for less discomfort. I recently purchased 3 pairs, so now I'm a proud owner of 6 pairs!

Why is there a Moab II when the original Moab was perfect? I don't know what exactly has changed, but this pair feels a little sloppy in the box up top and a little slippy on the heel. I'll keep them but I'm not as in love as before.

I still love Moab, but it used to be my 5-star everyday shoe -- then they redesigned it about two years ago. I've owned over 12 pairs of the originals. The new design has less cushioning around the ankle and tongue and it's not as soft as it used to be -- the material seems more synthetic and cheaper. It's still a very good shoe -- but it used to be great.

This shoe offers lots of support and is comfortable, durable, and attractive.

Great grip!

I have only worn this shoe a few weeks and is very comfortable. The looks and comfort is great. Right now this is the shoe I chose to wear daily..

The wide shoe size was great but my heel kept coming out. Switching for the wide width boots

Since I wear inserts in shoes, Merrill has always been great for this reason. Shoe looks great. I wear them for everyday use so even with jeans, yoga pant, or hiking pants, they look fine.

4 stars

I have a pair of Merrel Ventilator boots bought 4/5 years ago, it's the most comfortable and enduring hiking shoes I've ever worn. It's not only on my feet for everyday walking, occasional hiking, leisure activities like shopping, but has accompanied me in domestic and international travels where I climbed up and down on hills and terrains. I also use it as my yard work shoes when I kick gravels and blocks. Not only tough, it's comfortable as well, I've never experienced discomfort in it. It's proved to me as high-qualitied, and I decided for a second pair but low-profiled for summer. Having worn 4 times in walking and shopping, I still think it's a well-made and tough shoes, yet compared with my first pair, the sole of the second pair seems a little hard on my feet. Probably it's needs to breaking in before a serious hiking.

I was pleased with the immediate comfort I felt when trying on my new Merrell Moab Ventilators. They are constructed well, and my size 9 feet fit perfectly in the shoes. My only "con" is due to a personal matter, which is plantar fasciitis, - these shoes did not give me enough arch support. I was forced to purchase a different insole which could give me the strengthened arch support I required - now I'm ready to hike in my new Merrells!

Yep, they're still the go to shoes for comfort and support. I prefer those without the "dry" which are lighter. They wear out faster than I like but while they're new they're the shoe I go to for trails.

With the name "ventilator," I expected a cool shoe for summer. Although it is a very comfortable shoe, I would describe it as insulated. My feet got hot, which has not been the case in other Merrell boots. I plan to save them for winter now and expect they will become my favorite winter boots.

Great for the day hiking I do. Love the Vibram soles.
