Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 2 Vent

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.

...I'm happy with the look of the shoe ...there is lots of toe room ...I find that I'm hard to fit. This shoe fit a bit big and I almost returned, but I'm glad I didn't. The shoe gives me room to wear thick sport socks which I like for those extra long treks. I get good stability which is helpful while walking by 3 1/2 yr. old Belgian Shepherd. He's still alot of puppy! ...I'm early 60's, 5'2",and ordered 8W

This is my second pair of Merrell MOAB Ventilators. I wore my first pair until they were no longer supportive and just replaced them. I've worn these shoes for a few days to run errands and to work, and so far, they feel a bit tight. I don't remember a long break in period with the pair I bought 2.5 years ago, but I might not have noticed. Either way, I'm hoping/expecting these to get more comfortable in the next few wears and be a great shoe for a few years.

This was my second choice of hiking shoe after the Siren Hex, but I'll be keeping this shoe because it fit my foot better. It works great, feels great on dirt trails and turf. I thought it was too inflexible and hard for paved trails. I have an extremely high arch and the shoe supported me just fine. After two days of mild hiking, (4 miles on day 1 and 6 miles day 2), my feet did not hurt.

I got these shoes after I tried 3 other pairs all but one returned due to not fitting properly. The one not returned was worn outside before I realized m mistake. They were donated to a men's shelter. This shoe was ordered in my usual size 10.5. my left foot is a 10 and right is ,11. And 2A width. Again I wore the shoe in the house for a few hours. It seemed to be ok, then I went outside and wore them to work. My feet were flip flopping around to the point my knees, heel and hips were becoming painful. The toe box is very roomy, and the mesh seems to give more than I'm used to. I should have ordered the size 10 instead of my usual 10.5. I do not believe the shoe is at fault, it's my crazy size feet. It's a great looking shoe and seemed comfortable until worn for a few days. I love Merrell and have an 8 year old pair of hiking boots. I will have to find store that has a good selection of Merrell shoes so I can try the fit.

I have other Merrell trail shoes that fit just right so I ordered the same size, my foot floats in these. We went out of town and I had to use them.

The fit is perfect and the sizing was true. Amazing support in heel, arch and super roomy toe box. I bought them for work at a shipyard (when not wearing steel toes) thinking they were more like sneakers for work. They are much higher profile heel wise than expected, much more a hiker than a sneaker. I will keep them and likely wear them for along time tho. I walk the drydock at lunch every day and I have no foot pain, also seems to cushion my knees as I am no spring chicken.

I have a little toe that always begin to squeak and then scream on longer hikes. I do not have wide feet but I thought I would try a wide size for a change. I have not heard a single peep out of my little toe in these hiking boots. My feet feel comfortable but not sliding around in the shoes at all. I always wear good socks due to this rocky and and often unstable desert terrain. I appreciate the good arch support .

Overall very good quality, only the arch is too high for me, so have to return it
