Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 2 Vent

I was looking for a lite hiking shoe for the summer. the ones I received were a bit stiff and too narrow in the toe box. I could not get my foot in with medium socks. I also have bunions that were hitting the edge of the shoe. will try the wide version next time.

I broke the shoes in for 2 weeks before the hike. Still uncomfortable and hard on my feet. No cushion.

Orthodics fit comfortably for awhile. Then the Merrell insoles broke down and allowed tge orthodics to cut grooves into them, which felt lije socks balled up under my feet. Wish I could buy replacement Merrell insoles as the rest of tge shoe is in excellent condition. A shame that I can't continue to wear them until they are truly wore out. I did purchase generic insoles to use with my orthodics but they are not as comfortable as the original Merrell insoles.

Love these for walking the dog and hiking. Havent had them more than 4 months and the fabric has started to fray on the top of shoe. Hoping this doesnt progress to the fabric breaking down further. The other reason I lower the rating is that when slipping my foot into the shoe the back of the shoe bends into the shoe and wont straighten on its own. Uncomfortable and adds to the time it takes to get the shoes on. Wish I could just slide my foot in easily.....

Great quality shoe. Exactly as described except when one is purchasing online, the sizing is crucial. This shoe was described as true to size when it should say, "runs larger than normal ". Unfortunately, I leave for Maine to hike Acadia and won't have time to return my shoes. If I did, it leaves me without hiking shoes.

BUT... I seem to have some issues w/my recent 2 pair of MOAB for women. The waterproof? You should purchase a half size larger. The regular MOAB? I've had some plantar fasciitis issues w/my new pair since I switched from my "winter" boots. The boots were fine! No problem. But, with my new MOAB sneakers... horrible. Anyone else? Have they changed the footbed?????? I am horrified!

The inserts are thin and offer NO support!!! I had to purchase inserts with support. For such a high quality shoe, this should not be necessary.

I've gotten more than one pair of these. Toe box is good for me. Feels good. No need to break in. Light feeling. I like low cut hiking shoes. These are mine!

I have been wearing (and loving) the Moab for many years. This time I ordered 8W (to accommodate my older and maybe a bit wider foot). It isn't wider than my 8M's (I measured the bottom of both).Worst of all, the shoes squeak! I tried cornstarch and switching the insoles. This makes me think the quality and/or design has changed. I did keep the shoes because my local shopping options are very limited. Otherwise, I would have returned them.

They Seem like they have a lot of good padding, but just didn't fit my feet well.Just not my jam. I have a really bad plantar fasciitis And these were recommended to me. BUT THESE actually felt like they made the issue worse. So I sent them back, and had excellent customer service when returning them!

My heels and ankles feel well supported, but arches, not so much. There's a void where I would expect some support.

I wanted to love these but they're just okay. They kept my foot sturdy with plenty of traction. on rocks and mud but they could use more cushioning in the sole. My feet were hurting shortly into a hike. I do struggle with plantar fasciitis so I do not recommend these shoes for this condition, despite the reviews and googled lists and recommendations.

I have purchased Merrell Moab for years, but this last pair seems to be manufactured differently in the heel and slips when I walk. Fits great everywhere else. I may have to return and find a new favorite hiking shoe.

I have been wearing and loving merrell boots and shoes for years. It was time for a new pair of hiking shoes, so I ordered the Moab ventilator in my solidly normal size 9m. They look just as great as merrell s always do but it fits way too large. I have checked and rechecked to make sure it is the correct size. It is too long and too wide in the toe. Maybe it's mismarked, but they have to go back. Disappointed.

I have had 2 pair of 8.9 wides in the past. For some reason the new pair felt very wide so exchanged for a medium. Very water proof. I wear them on rainy walks here in the NW.

Because I have small feet I am forced to buy women's shoes, and I have been buying these for three years now. They're tough, they last a while, and they always fit great right out of thE box. But I'm wondering what happened to them. This time, they are killing me, my toes are jammed, my heels are squealing, and they are just overall uncomfortable. I've been trying to break them in, which I've never had to do before. And yesterday I ended my hike halfway through because my toes have gotten too blistered to hike in them. Around the house is fine, but on my hikes, they're brutal. Did you change the fit or something? They are the same exact shoe I have relied on for three years up until now and my weight and size haven't changed. I don't get it.

The shoes are big in appearance and are heavy. It is difficult with my plantar fasciitis

I was very excited to receive these shoes. A friend of mine recommended this brand and style to me. Unfortunately, when I tried them on they were wide in the heel and the insoles were raised partly on the arch and on the heel. My foot kept slipping out of the shoe no matter how tightly they were laced and the raised insole on only part of my arch was not comfortable. I will be returning these shoes for a different style.

They are bit bulky for me and a little heavy.

I love the quality of this product and the support. I just wish there would have been a warning that they do run half a size large.
