Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 3

I would have given this review 5 stars because I'm a big fan of Merrell shoes, but when I purchased my second pair, it came with shorter laces. It's not the end of the world because I can still do the double knot so they don't loosen and become untie while walking, but the shorter laces makes it more difficult to do the double knot. My first pair came with longer (regular size) laces making it much easier to do the double knot - and yes, you have to do a double knot if you don't want them to become untied half a mile into your walk.

These have been my shoes for the last ten years or so(I am on my sixth pair). They are comfortable and durable. When this new pair wears out it will be time for number seven.

Great stability shoe-firm midosole and great traction

I have owned many pair of Merrells. Ventilators, Moab3s etc. But, this style is still my favorite. Fit great right out of the box. I wear them everywhere. Thank you Merrell for another quality product.

The walnut colored Moab 3 as advertised does not match what was delivered. I was told by customer service that the light background in the advertisements caused the shoe to look a different color. I was very disappointed.

Bottom line up front: To be as comfrotable as the moab 2, Merrel needs to move back to the Moab 2's insole (Kinetic Fit Advanced Footbed) and slightly soften the mid sole. Pros of the Moab 3: It's a good boot that's supportive and fits well. It's grippy and relatively light for a hiking boot. Cons of the Moab 3: -> The insole is much worse in the Moab 3 than in the Moab 2. The 2 had a pressed and perforated EVA insole that was very responsive and stayed springy for years of use. The 3 has a blue metatarsal pad which is inlayed into the insole. This portion of the insole is very, very unresponsive and lacks the same amount of cushion and responsiveness as the 2's forefoot insole. After a single day of use, the blue areas on the insole are flat and have no spring. The result is a fit that feels like i'm walking on a hard surface. In my attached images, I've applied roughly the same pressure to the front of the insert to demonstrate how the Moab 3's insert is very flimsy at the forefoot. The older insole is much more sturdy and spongey in the same area. You can purchase the same kinetic fit insoles as the Moab 2's for extra, but only in whole sizes :( -> The midsole is stiffer than the Moab 2, and this contributes to the pressure at the heel and the forefoot. Both of these means the forefoot experiences a ton more pressure and feels much stiffer and less comfortable after walking out of the store. It's more uncomfortable to stand for hours or walk for miles, and it feels like I'm closer to injury at any given point than with the Moab 2.

Fourth pair of Moab s . Two pair women but switched the mens do to my size 12 foot. Womens 12 cut just a tad short causing sore toes. Went to mens 11 which fit great, arch, support not to wide. Our group section hikes the AT - love these shoes !

Quality hiking shoe. Wish the design were the same as Moab 2 which doesn't feel as bulky. The waterproof feature is outstanding and the fit is always perfect but I only gave four stars because the shoe looks clunky to me while Moan 2 looks stylish as well as being functional.

Probably the most comfortable shoes ive ever owned. I highly recommend this product and the company associated with them. I wear then to work and i dont go home cranky anymore. Its like walking on two cloud pillows fot the hours im in them.

I have worn nothing but Merrill Moab for the last 10-12 years and they have been fantastic. Oddly, this latest pair I bought is not as comfortable, even though they're all broken in now. By the end of a long day my feet hurt a bit. If I wear one of my old pairs everythings great. They are all the same size so Im not sure what the problem is

Good durable sole, however the mesh material on the inner step is stripping and pilling after 2 hike/runs. I can't return them, so I hope to heck they last despite the cheap and flawed mesh material.

These are great shoes for hiking in wet weather, but I really wish they carried 11 1/2 as the 11s run small and the 12s are too big!

I have been buying Merrells for over a decade. My old feet love the support and comfort of the hiking shoe. It is the only product I will buy.

Good grip on bigger rocks. They did give me a few hotspots, but i can attribute that to not breaking in completely. They are heavy shoes whoch afford protection but add to weight. Overall i like them!

The color, fit, & comfort is perfect. Its the second pair that at I own.

This is a great shoe! I've been wearing Moabs as my everyday wear for years. It is comfortable, durable and great for changing surfaces and terrains. I go from work to trails and they are always the best choice.

They fit perfectly right out of the box. Ill never bother with another brand again. I just wish there were some more conservative colors.

Listed as same size and wide with as my original and great Moab 3s but have a lot more room for some reason. Need the medium or thick (better) Icebreaker socks to go with them. Nice, comfy, & supportive. Now quite used to and happy with the new Moab 3 Wide Width. Cheers!

I hope these are better than the Moab 2. Both rubber toe caps are ripped. I ordered a pair on April 7, 2023. They shipped in April 9. Received on April 12, 2023. Started a chat to check warranty. Warranty is 1 year from order date. Shoes didnt hold up for a year. Probably wont purchase Merrill again due to warranty and customer service.

Ive purchased 3 pairs of these shoes and they are comfortable yet durable. They last for years.

Comfortable and great for hiking found easy to wear

Great fit, solid construction, sturdy support. Pleased with this product

I'd actually give this shoe a 4.75 out of five. Very good off-road hiking shoe that works well on pavement also.

Good grippy sole, nice deep and wide shoe for orthotics. I find the top is soft and not as structured and no ability to lock the heel, which makes it a good shoe for level ground and not hills so much.
