MerrellWomen's Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

There's a reason they are called MOAB! It's true. I generally wear a size 7.5 shoe and I bought a size up for my last Camino and these were perfect. Roomy toe box and super comfy! There are slightly heavy but nothing that I didn't get over quickly. They gave me the ankle support I needed and had thick enough soles where I didn't feel any stones or branches underneath. I would definitely buy these again and the price is great for what you get!

Sizing was perfect. Great to see a wide hiking boot. Definitely accommodates a thicker hiking sock without feeling too tight.As others have noted, no break-in period required. Comfortable right out of the box. Relatively light weight too. Love these boots, looking forward to many more hikes in them!

No breaking in, hiked a steep rocky desert mountain with no trail day one. Grip is fantastic. Worked well on sketchy steep slopes. Breathable and kept my feet cool in 100+ degree heat while hiking.

These hiking boots were comfortable from the start. No break-in time needed.

With the original insole, I could feel the lugs under the ball of my foot. I pulled out the insole and it was about as thick as a piece of paper. No padding. Nothing. So those went in the trash and a pair of memory foam arch support insoles went in and voila - best shoe I’ve ever had on my foot. C’mon Merrell - do better. You’re so close. If you have a good pair of insoles, I recommend the boot. If not, don’t do it.

I love the way they fit me. They are true to size I’m 6/5 in the USA size. I got a different brand but this is the one that I like the mostt.The company does not send you the bix

These are so comfortable right out of the box. I ordered a half size larger to accommodate a hardly sock and glad I did. They’re perfect.

I usually wear an 8 in regular shoes and an 8.5 in hiking boots. I ordered an 8.5 but the Moab 2 felt tight plus the toe box felt restrictive. Since there was conflicting information in amazon comments (size up 1/2 size, size up full-size) I decided to go to a Merrell outlet store here in New Hampshire to figure out the right sizing.Right sizing was up 1/2 size above your normal *hiking boot size*. So instead of an 8.5, I needed a 9. Perfect fit. The employee was VERY knowledgeable and helpful! Here's what you need to know about these boots.1. Merrell makes this model in a non-waterproof style. This one, the waterproof Moab 2, "feels tighter" on the foot she said, than the other model, due somehow to the waterproofing technology used.2. The toe box is smaller in style (tapered) than some of Merrell's other footwear (like the model I link to below), but if you get the right size in Moab 2, it should just take a little bit of breaking in. (Indeed, only part of one day for me.)3. The Moab 2 has a bit of a heel and a shank. That offers extra grip when on slippery slopes. It also has pronounced arch support. My experience of this is my foot feels ever-so-slightly like it's aimed downhill when I am standing on level ground. The employee confirmed it may feel this way. She also said that typically this style of sole fees good to people with medium-to-high arches. (I have a low arch and am somewhat flat-footed.)I would up buying the Moab 2 in a size 9. I like the Vibram sole, pronounced support in the sole, and I want to try something different.My experience of the Moab 2 is I feel sometimes a slight readjustment in my spine and even my hip muscles. It feels ever so slightly sore sometimes, but it may just be stretching those muscles. The employee confirmed the design is to optimize your spine posture. So I figure my other footwear may not have been supporting my frame properly.The employee also showed me a Merrell mid hiking boot that she said people with low arches like. Plus it has a roomy toe box. (The Chameleon 7 Limit) I decided to also buy a pair of those too: https://www.amazon.com/Merrell-Womens-Chameleon-Waterproof-Brindle/dp/B0728C1LNG/I'm happy with my purchases. Thanks, Merrell!

Me gustaron mucho, diseño y confort muy recomendable

👍👍

me quedaron bien y cómodos, aunque pedí talla 27 y me llegaron talla 26.5. tengo unos talla 27 y soportan la lluvia, y me siento muy bien con ellos y ya quería unos nuevos y de otro color, ya me llegaron y los estoy usando casi a diario, estoy contento con ellos solo falta la lluvia para ver su resistencia al agua.

Antes usaba la marca Salomón y cambié por estas botas que en los descensos siento que no tienen tanto agarre y no me dan tanta seguridad, de lo demás son muy cómodas

Merrell.. Do I have to say anymore.... Great support in the insole. Waterproof. Vibram grip. And very warm. I'd say this model is more of a fall hiker or summer if you pack extra socks.
