Customer Reviews Merrell Moab Mid 2 Waterproof

So far I've only rated these boots as a 3 because of the following reasons: 1) I haven't yet had the opportunity to find out if they are waterproof as advertised; 2) Not enough arch support for me. Aside from these two things, the boot is very comfortable and requires no break in, they are light and I hope they last a long time.

This is my second pair of these boots. Absolutely great fit. Best fit I could find and I tried many other comparable boots from other brands. Heel locks in with good support in arch and mid foot, and then plenty of room for toes. not too heavy or bulky. But...they are not waterproof. The first pair was not waterproof and would leak as soon as tops wetted out in light rain. Merrell sent me a new pair immediatelygreat customer service. I've lived with the 2nd pair for over a year and had never really tested their ability to stay dry. Well after walking in rain for about 3 hours yesterday with tops wetted out, my feet were drenched. Really disappointed. I also stood in a 1-2 inch puddle and immediately could feel the cold water getting in. So fit and breathability are great (5 stars) but waterproof no (1 star) and that is proven with 2 pairs tested. I'll try some of the water repellant sprays and see how that goes.

I like the overall comfort and hiking performance. I have worn them in damp conditions and some splashing situations. This weekend I was washing my deck and they were exposed to a constant blowing mist. They became saturated and when I removed them my feet were soaked. Waterproof should be waterfproof!

Sole provides good support, but the arch and heel are raised and that does not work for me. So, I am returning these boots.

I purchased these at a sporting goods store. I tryed them. I was looking for all around boot. They laced up nicely, After two months the lace hook tore out. I went back to the store where I purchased the boots, they offered me another pair. I purchased these because they say they are waterproof, they are not. If you walk for a time in wet grass your feet will get wet. Overall for the price they are average at best. One think I qilm say is they look better than most boots and are very flexible. I would not recommend these as a hiking boot considering the waterproof claim.

Bought these thinking that they were water proof. They won't even make it across the grass let Aline a 1" puddle with light my socks being soaked. Thought maybe i read the label wrong looking for another pair and i did not after all. I love them for hiking and they feel great other than being let down by a false advertisement of being water proof. Maybe the leather is but the mesh is not even close.

The Moab 2 Boot Medium has my foot sliding from side to side. Far too wide. I've checked the model number, they are mediums. Their also very hard on the bottom of your feet. I've put shoe cushions in, thick socks, but still make the sole sore. I have a pair of Moab 2 shoes, same size and width, medium, they fit great. The boot is basically the shoe and there should not be this big a difference in width.

I have always had good luck with moab /waterproof boots before, but not this time. These boot have leaked badly from the first time they got wet.As soon as water goes over the rubber toe, the boots start filling up with water. But like I said , always had good luck before with Merrell. So I will continue wearing Merrell.

I went back to the MOAB for a second pair because they fit amazing. My first pair performed well and held up for 2+ years. But it didn't take all but 3-4 short day hikes to find the rubber toe cap peeling. Maybe it's the gum sole style? Also, I experienced minor leaking (not so waterproof). Most likely due to the toe cap peeling, but I see that some have had similar waterproof issues. I still can't seem to find any other shoe that fits as well.

I have worn these boots 5 times and it rained all day today and my feet got damp. I love MERRELL shoes and Boots. But these let me down

I've been wearing these every weekend for a few months now. Most comfortable boot I've ever worn, but on a recent dewy morning hike these boots showed there true colors. Just walking through wet grass left my socks soaked and feet pruny! Very comfortable and amazing quality materials, but definitely not waterproof.

Very good for couple uses a week. Not an every day worker.

bought these for the awesome new orangees color they came in 2 weeks after getting them first time I wore them in the rain and mud. came home and hosed them off and all the color faded out and were just plain tan brown after

I'm a huge fan of Merrell footwear and it's all I wear for walking and hiking.I've tried other brands but nothingcompares to Merrell shoes. I currently, have four pairs of Merrell shoes. One for winter snow, two waterproof (low-cutand mid-cut) and one not waterproof. .. all vibram soles, which I highly recommend. However, as much as I loved this model, it didn't hold up. The soles and uppers are still in excellent shape but the sole came apart from the uppers. I'm guessing I just got a bad pair because I can vouch for the overall quality and durability of theirfootwear. Ironically, of my four pairs of Merrell shoes these are the ones I wear the least but they are the only ones that didn't hold up :(

Haven't had these a year and they've already started coming apart at the sole.

After having worn two previous pairs of Merrell boots that held up at work and through multiple hiking/climbing trips to Colorado, I was disappointed by the Moabs. The rubber on the toe has shredded and I have only worn them to work, which is in a hospital and not hard on boots at all. I love the fit and look of Merrell boots and will likely buy another pair, but I will not be buying Moabs. I can't imagine what they would look like if I had worn them hiking.

these boots say waterproof but that is not the case at all. The first time I wore these boots to work in the rain my feet were wet in an hour. Been a Merrill customer for a long time. These boots have me questioning my loyalty to them

This is the second pair I've bought and was very disappointed. Both pair are a size 11M one in the color Boulder and the second one in Earth. The one in Earth just doesn't fight and nice as the first pair. Seemed a little tight at first, I just thought it needed to break in. Not the case. I know if I do buy another pair I will be more aware because I have to with my foot problem. I'm just very disappointed with the fit and the price tag.

I have owned a pair of these boots for approximately 7 months. They have held pretty well until about a week ago. The laces are starting to tear apart and there are cracks in the soul of the shoe. Not sure if I abused the boots or them didn't hold up as they should have.

I didn't get a very good chance to break them in, as the sole separated after 2 casual walks. The insole was cheap and felt lumpy, and too much padding in the ankle. Heel slipped a lot. Waterproof lasted 1 day, tried to spray them with a garden hose and got my feet soaked. The Vibram outsole was the only good thing, great traction and durability, and the design keeps you from rolling your ankle. Please just buy Keens.

Shoe is very comfortable but the rubberized part on the outer sides at my toes ripped and the bottom of the soles fell apart within the first few months of use.

I bought these boots a few months ago as I needed a high quality, waterproof boot to hike The Great Wall in China for 10 days. I must say that they were ready to go right out of the box. At 64 years of age I have worn many brands of hunting and hiking boots. These are the most comfortable boot ( or shoe for that matter) that I have ever worn. HANDS DOWN. But we encountered rain one day and I was disappointed to find out that they were not waterproof. Glad that I had warm wool socks on. But in every other category these boots rocked!

I am a perfect 9W in a high quality dress shoe. I have an old pair of Merrell hiking boots, size 10M. I like the quality and comfort. The length was perfect, but recognizably the width was a bit narrow. In retiring them after several years I ordered a new pair in both a 10W and 9.5W figuring one would fit, but not so - both the 9.5W and 10W were both too long and both too wide....then I ordered these in 9W, for which the length is fine (one whole size smaller than my old pair) but are too wide. So now, one last time, I will try a 9M. Going back and forth thru the mail is frustrating.

Fits great. Comfy. But feet were soaked after walking in dewy grass. Merrell sent a new pair after returning defective pair. I avoided wet areas but sooner or later, another dewy grass field proved that these boots are not waterproof. Just after walking 50 yards my socks and feet were soaked.
