Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 3

My favorite shoes for the past many years have been Merrell Moab 3's. Wore hiking, in cities, everywhere. Ordered a new pair, with no resemblance. Soles are much too wide, feel like I'm wearing balloons. Very sad. Why can't they continue a perfect shoe style? Returning.

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 everything's great. They are all the same size so I'm not sure what the problem is

A friend gave me these I like them I wish I had the other pair I saw

Super comfortable, but not a good value. Considerably overpriced in my opinion. They ripped the first time I wore them. To clarify, I'm not a hiker I use my shoes for simple yard work (1/4 acre).

I bought these an should not have kept them. They are very comfortable but they are just a bit too clunky for my personal taste.

I needed to replace my last pair of Merrill hiking shoes and selected the Moab 3 wide width. The fit is terrific and they are as comfortable as my last pair. And I don't doubt they will last as long as well. I am disappointed with my purchase however as the first time I was hiking through wet grass my feet were quickly soaked. Since my last pair were quite water resistant I assumed these were as well. My error for not reviewing the description thoroughly.

I need more support than they offered. The mesh is too "mushy," allowing my foot to stretch the shoe and move around too much in the shoe. I went back to another brand that is fortified with leather inserts and strips of leather spaced at strategic points in the mesh fabric.

These shoes are well-made what heavy. There is plenty of cushioning, and the insole is comfortable,however. I love the vibrum soul. I bought these in a half size smaller than I usually wear and they are still too big so I had to put an insult in them. I usually wear an eight and I bought a 7 1/2 but these run wide. Because of the weight of the shoe and the fact that they are so wide, I probably should have returned them. I do like the color, however, and I have the chalk

Heads-up: good shoe BUT the black outside rubber base of the Vibram sole is in fact WHITE internally! It's a white rubber base covered with black rubber layer which is very thin, so normal dents from a hike do reveal ugly WHITE spots! very annoying when such a white spot suddenly shows up on the shoe toe side, right in front where you and everyone can clearly see it! That WHITE inner rubber material cannot even be painted black over again because, well, it's a rubber! Sorry but it's a shame such an otherwise nice, premium shoe could not have its sole made from a monolith chunk of black rubber, like my older shoes, instead of this white wrapped in black kind of pie.. It's a month old Beluga style my second pair of Moabs. No other issues so far.

I have completed one 6 km walk wearing my new lo-top Merrell Moab 3 shoes. The Pros: These shoes have excellent grip with their coarse-lug Vibram soles. The size is a good match for my 10W foot size, so ordering online worked out. The shoes are slightly wider and longer than my `regular' 10W shoes, but this works well given the thicker socks that I tend to wear while hiking. The Cons: The outsole and midsole are sufficiently thin that I can feel the individual lugs of the Vibram sole pressing against the sole of my foot. I would not have imagined that this was possible. These are early days, but for the moment, this sensation is quite distracting while walking. I expected blisters or corns and calluses to develop, but they have not appeared so far. The sides of the shoe are also thinner than expected, so there is no significant lateral support. This is not a problem while walking on level ground or pavement, but it could be painful or even dangerous if attempting to hike on even slightly uneven ground / trails.

I was excited about these shoes and thought for sure theyd be my new hiking companions, but sadly they were not comfortable for me. The toe box was nice and roomy, which I really liked, but there was a lot of pressure on the heels just standing. I returned them because of that.

Very comfortable , they are my normal size. They are very roomy probably should have sent back for a smaller size

They make these in wide width which works and is great, but I'm pretty sure they still use the same size toe box that they use on the medium width shoes. So, they mash your toes in. Can be painful!

First off. The Moab 3's are great shoes! But. If you have contrary feet like mine they may not live up to what your feet require. I wore them one time for about 3 hours. My feet were killing me! I used my insoles provided by my podiatrist too. I don't know what I will do with them now. Hopefully I can find someone who can wear them whose feet don't dictate what they wear. This is not a bad review on Merrell shoes. They have great products and styles. And in the past I have had wonderful experiences with them.

Shoe fits well. Vibram soles are great. Footbed could use a a little more padding

The shoe feels durable and had good traction on my hike, however, the fit on my right foot felt like there was some extra space. My foot kept sliding forward in the right shoe which caused my toes to keep hitting the front of the shoes. My toes were so sore after my hike. I'll have to buy something to prevent my toes from hitting the right.

This is a comfortable shoe for my 8 to 10 k walks but unfortunately causes me heel pain when I do my longer walks. I know they tell you to wear it around your house when you first purchase, I agree that let's you know if the fit is right but the only way to truly test a hiking shoe is to wear it on one of your normal hikes. The problem is when you do that and find out not the right shoe it has been worn outside and is no longer returnable. My walks are mostly on gravels roads and some pavement so if that's the surfaces you walk on pass on this shoe.
