They fit good and where easy to break in, first day i wore them in the woods a thorn vine caught the toe on one of them and put a small rip in it. Should have went with so.e Altama jungle boots, they hold up alot better.

I buy these boots over and over, usually last me more than a year of wear. bought another pair a few months ago and already coming apart, not very happy.
rain season is coming and these are no longer waterproof from them coming apart already. (just normal wear)

No pull tab to help get the boots on. Not enough fabric behind the zipper so the boots don't open up very wide. Combined with no pull tab you are stuck trying to tug and jam your foot into the boot. I had to take a razor blade and just slice the fabric behind the zipper. Now the boot opens up enough to get my foot into it.

Don't believe it when they claim these are waterproof. Comfortable fit but I wanted waterproof. A bit disappointed

Comfortable boot but I have gone through two pairs in a year. Thought the first was just a freak pair but the second pair has gone down the same road.

Supposed to have been waterproof. They are not in the least bit even water resistant!

Bought these boots back in February/March 2021. They don't get abused but have been falling apart since about 4 months in. the stitching started coming apart on the strapping by the left foot zipper. noticed this morning that the front sole on my left foot is now starting to separate. For the price, figured they should last longer than 9 months.

I purchased these boots a few months ago and I've been satisfied with their comfort however I recently walked in wet grass and my feet got absolutely soaked. I would never have bought them had I known that would be the case.

I purchased these boots to wear on patrol on those rainy and snowy days. They are not waterproof. If you go into a puddle, at least with my experience, your foot will be wet. Another issue I have is the side zipper. It is very poorly designed. With the boot still tied, you can not unzip the side and pull your foot out. There is some fabric keeping the boot connected and is not elastic, so the zipper is only for aesthetics. For the price I paid for these, I am extremely disappointed. Sizing was fine and they felt decently comfortable on my feet. Would not recommend.

I've had these boots less than a week, been on two short hikes through some wet grass, and it took only a few minutes to get them soaking wet. I've never seen ANY boots, even none waterproof boots, that suck up every droplet of water that they come in contact with, literally like a sponge. tried to fill out their defective product form, and even though I bought these boots directly from this site, they keep asking for receipts in case I bought them somewhere else. Every time I try to send them their own receipt, the window closes, and I have to start all over again, explaining the situation...just to get everything I write deleted at the end. I'm former military and law enforcement, and this never happened to me before.

These are comfortable boots, but they are not waterproof. In addition, I cannot put them on by opening the zipper - I have to untie them too.

These are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn but they are not waterproof. If you need waterproof boots, like I do for work, look somewhere else. Nice boots otherwise

I would have given the boots 5 stars for comfort, looks, build etc....the only reason I went with 2 stars is that they are sized smaller then any other Merrell boots/shoes I own.
My 2 sets of Merrell boots and one set of shoes are all 9.5 and fit perfectly. Hence me ordering the same size for the Moab....big mistake. They're built smaller and my toes touch the tip of the boots which makes them uncomfortable after wearing them an hour or 2....I work 12 hrs shift. Thought they would stretch a little after wearing them but they didn't and now can't return them cause I wore them too much .
Advice to anyone buying them. Very good boots. Just up size by .5 at least.

I love these boots. Very comfortable and light weight. Any bit of water and it seems into your feet.

I own several pair of Merrell shoes and boots and I been very disappointed with this product. To begin with is not really waterproof and it fits smaller than I expected. I have always been very satisfied with Merrell products but they have much to improve on this boots.

These boots were very comfortable as with every pair of merrell's I have own, but was very disappointed when I stepped in a puddle just over the toe and the boot filled with water.

Comfy until you start moving then your feet sweat like crazy. I feel like Merrell should stick with your classic MOAB Ventilator setup but 8" height. Absolutely no ventilation hence the suffocator moniker. Love the medial zipper not super keen on the boot sole, if they stuck with the original ventilator sole then they'd be perfect outright 5 star two thumbs up!

Had these boots a little over a month in Afghanistan and they are already unserviceable. Pieces of the sole have literally ripped clean off. They failed when I needed them. They feel amazing, and the zipper is a great feature for quick on and off. Now I'm in a predicament with boots because I spent 150 on a boot that completely and utterly failed. Now I have to spend even more money and wait over a month for something new. Do yourself a favor and buy another product.

I bought these boots because they said they were waterproof. That is far from the truth. My feet were wet and two days later the boots are still drying.
