Merrell Men's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe

Last year I purchased a pair of mid-height Merrell Goretex-lined Moab hiking boots and was very happy with them in regard to comfort and quality. For summer, I've been shopping for a pair of low-top Merrills for walking and working out. After shopping around, I found these Moab 3 Merrills at an excellent price. This version is not lined in Goretex version which, I feel, serves little purpose in low-cut summer shoes. The shoes fit well and are comfortable. For long-distance treks, however, the insoles could benefit from some additional padding. I regularly cut supplementary insoles out of a 5mm EVA sheet to place beneath my shoes' existing insoles. Works like a charm.

These are some of the most comfortable hiking shoes I’ve owned. They fit true to size, provide excellent support, and have great traction on a variety of surfaces. The shoes were comfortable right out of the box with very little break-in time. They feel sturdy, well-made, and are suitable for both hiking and everyday wear. After many miles of use, they continue to perform well. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable hiking shoe.

Only 1 pair was available and it was my size. The color was also the only pair available and that's why I bought them. Same shoes are available in many other sizes and colors for half the price. I just had to have these because of the color. I do like them. They feel great and the materials seem to be of decent quality.

I like that the shoe, size 12 fit perfectly. I usually try on 11.5 first and some times need 12's. When you order on line you have your finger crossed. They fit so good I purchased another pair in a different color. I then purchased a running shoe in the Merrill brand. So yes I love the brand. Trust the size 12 to fit me. I owned a cold weather Merrill shoe for more than 10 years and just loved how they fit and functioned. The soles were warring out so I had to let go of them. That was the reason I shopped for this brand. If I find more deals on Amazon, I might get another color. If the shoe fits, you will not be disappointed.

I was a New Balance guy for many years due to my very wide feet. In recent years, they've become very disappointing, falling apart even when quite new. This past Summer I was headed to Europe for a lot of hiking. After an on trail failure of New Balances the year before (brand new pair and the bottom just came right off), I knew I had to find a better solution. I had also been dealing with a lot of blisters. I decided to try these based on some youtube videos. They did not disappoint! Even after a 20 mile hike, no blisters and no foot pain. The best part is even after 150 miles of some very hard trails, they're still holding up great! I am so very impressed by these shoes and this company. I've been telling everyone I know to get a pair. As a teacher I have to be very careful how I spend my money. I have to get value for my dollar. These were very expensive for my budget. I've learned that if you're going to enjoy travel, your feet have got to be happy. These have worked for me. I'm saving up for another trip in 2027. My budget is going to include another pair of these. These shoes made a trip of a lifetime even more amazing than I could have imagined. When the school year started, I went back to the old New Balances with all the shoe goo repairs. Standing all day teaching in those was now torture. I started wearing these. They're not really dressy enough, but I got them in black, so they work ok with khaki's and a nice shirt. The last 3 weeks, I'm walking up and down the rows, ready to help my kids. I have not felt the need to sit down and rest my feet like I used to have to do. So these shoes not only helped me enjoy the vacation of a lifetime, but they're helping me help kids and be the best teacher I can be. We'll see how long it takes for them to wear out. I thought I'd add that they are the perfect amount of grip, even on the wet cobblestone streets of Europe. I never slipped once.

I trust Merrell. These sneakers are basically sneaker versions of hiking boots. They seem sturdy and heavy duty, and are comfortable. I will use them for ordinary walking, especially during travel. I chose the granite grey w small blue accents (I don’t like a gaudy shoe). If I have a complaint, it’s that the shoes seem big and clunky on my feet—they’re not particularly lightweight and streamlined—but I guess that’s why they are more of a sneaker version of a hiking boot. I do recommend.

This shoe is comfortable and meets all of my walking/hiking needs. I just completed a trip where I hiked in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. I wore these shoes all day for several consecutive days and I couldn't be happier with the performance. Before buying, I watched multiple videos on YouTube rating hiking shoes. The Merrill Moabs were nearly always in the top three reviewed, receiving high marks on build quality and comfort. Reviewers also rated the shoe's performance high. As a non-professional hiker, this was good enough for me. If any of the online reviewers were to ask me, and I know none will, I'd commend them for their reviews. They steered me towards these shoes, and I'm glad they did. While none of the trails I hiked were extreme, I did encounter many rocks/boulders, tree stumps, and obstacles such as fallen trees and other challenges. The Moabs met each challenge. Prior to my trip, I'd been wearing these at my cabin where I go for lengthy walks along paved and unpaved roads. Again, the Moabs met all conditions I experienced with comfort and durability. For my style of walking and hiking, I feel confident that I've purchased an affordable yet reliable shoe. I've used hiking boots for years, but I wanted a shoe that, while it doesn't provide the ankle support of a boot, was still rugged and able to serve me as I expected to be served. The Moab has thus far met all of my expectations, though I will update this review if I experience and issues. But for now, I recommend these to anyone who is a casual walker/hiker similar to me. ***May 2026 update*** I wrote my original review in late 2025 after I first wore these shoes. Now it is May 2026 and I'm adding a new section to my review. I love these shoes even more now than I did last fall. They have held up to winter wear and still have their original integrity. The shoes show no signs o wear even though I wore them extensively throughout this past winter. The soles show no signs of degradation, the stitching and glue have held up, and they still have that like-new comfort. Put simply, these are among the most durable shoes I've ever owned. I walk a lot and these shoes are up to the task. I highly recommend them.
