Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 2 Vent

This shoe fit my wide foot with plenty of toe room. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have a lot of cushioning, so I put in some different inserts to make them less hard feeling under my feet. Seems like they should put more padding in a hiking shoe.

This is a nice shoe, but it felt like it was designed for a wider foot. The length was right but it was super loose for me. Sadly, it's going back but I'll still look for another Merrell - really like the quality of the brand.

I thank Merrill for adding a wide option to these shoes. I don't think they are as wide as a wide should be, but it was nice to buy a shoe a full size smaller that would still accommodate my wide foot and orthotics. I've been measured repeatedly and should be wearing a size 6, but with my wide feet I ended up with a size 7 Wide. In the past without the wide option I was wearing a size 8 in these Merrills.I wish Merrill would add more cushion otherwise I am very happy with these shoes.

I have two pairs of Merrell shoes that are size 9M. So I ordered a size 9M. It was too short and slightly tight in the toe box at the end. Fine. I upsized to a 9.5M, and they were long enough and wide enough around the toes, but the arch support started just behind the arch in the heel area, which just felt bizarre. These are cute shoes, they seemed to be well constructed and I liked the size. The padding was good all over. The sizing didn't align with the older Merrells I own (5-8 years old). At this point I'm reluctant to try again until I've had a chance to try on a bunch of Merrell shoes to see if the sizing in general has changed, or just this style was different.

I ordered 2 of this same shoe in the same size & width, just different colors. One fit great, the other was boxy, longer and just not the same. Not up to Merrells usual standards.

EVen if the shoe would have fit in size, the tongue was not wide enough to fit underneath the side. There was a gap there, and I think I would have collected little stones etc. maybe it is because I have a high instep? Still, I do not understand how a design like that got to production. Merrill is not what it used to be!

I like merrell shoes but this one is heavier and clunkier than the merrell moab 2 waterproof. Unfortunately, the merrell moab 2 waterproof was a smaller size 10 than this one. Crazy. I think I will go into REI and try them on inside a store to get one that fits me properly. Maybe this one was mismarked. I don't know. They are on different lasts. I really like the merrell moab 2 waterproof.

If you've worn the Moab 2 Vent in the past be sure and try it on before you hit the trails. This is my third pair and they turned out to be a bit longer. Enough that I developed calluses on the sides of both big toes from the friction when descending on steep trails.

Not enough arch support for me. Otherwise fit well. But they made an annoying skreetchy sound on my hardwood floors and I can’t live with that.

It is too large, and way too heavy. Ugly color, not true color on website.

When I first put the shoes on they felt comfortable, but then I stood up and walked and the arch is too far back for me - soo uncomfortable! Back they go.

Merrill’s just don’t have any arch support to support your walking, returned immediately and they need to make women sizes bigger than 11

I have purchased several Merrells over the years, including the Moab 2, and I have always been a size 7. When I received the 7 a few weeks ago it was too short. I thought it was odd, but I sent it back and exchanged it for a 7.5. The 7.5 was too large all over, so I sent it back. Obviously, there are quality control issues here. I like the look, the fabric of the upper and the sole but no one would try to wear a hiking shoe that didn't fit. It would be a recipe for disaster. I was really disappointed.

Awful, ugly, nothing close to shape of my foot. I have been wearing Merrell hiking shoes for decades. Fit and quality continue to decline. Foot bed no longer well padded, instep area no longer shaped to human foot. These shoes are oval shaped! Not only are they ugly, they do not conform to an actual instep. Returning. I have low volume feet and Merrell used to be the only shoe that fits me. Now that option is down the drain.

I have had these a long time and have worn them for hundreds of miles. Initially, they felt a tad small, but as they broke in I felt they were about right. I am very sad that they are wearing out, i.e. the soles are getting thinner. I live in an area where we walk/hike on rocky roads and the soles were great in that I couldn't feel the rocks through the bottoms. No foot pain! I will likely replace with other Merrills.
