Title: Very comfortable. Wide feet needed a half size larger. UPDATE-IMPORTANT
Review: I ordered the Merrell maob 3 mid in 11.5 wide. The fit was fine, but when I put on thicker socks it was a bit snug. Changing to 12 wide worked perfectly, it gave me a little more toe room that benefits from thicker socks for fall and winter walking. Sole of the shoe when walking is slightly firmer than expected, but was mentioned in reviews; I hope it breaks in a bit and softens up with some miles on them. Very happy at the price point of just above $100. Solid shoe and I'm happy with them.Update 08/31/2024. These are great mid hiking shoes........but I found amazing boots a day later. Go to REI buy a lifetime membership (30 bucks) and buy something cheap. Go back after 24 hours and buy a set of Danner 600 leaf GTX hiking boots for men (grizzly brown/Rodeo Red) and get $30 off. My boot code was "62302". They are on sale until September 2nd 2024 for $164, but if you get a member card and use it 24 hours later, you get lifetime membership and $30 off and you get these AMAZING boots for 132 and tax. If you have 11.5 in 4EE feet you will thank me later. If you have narrower feet stick with the maob 3 mids for half the price. I bought a pair of Danners 20 years ago and they are still amazing. No shade for the Merrell Moab 3, but for a wide foot the 62302 Danner is like a silk slipper. OMG I love these boots, I am so sorry Merrell......... but I found true love.

Title: Comfortable out of the box.
Review: I hesitated before buying these, as I had a pair of low Merrells that were not comfortable nor waterproof. I I was a faithful Timberland buyer, but they have really cheapened their boots. So, I finally broke down and bought these as they come in a wide width and were rated fairly highly on several different "best of" reviews. They were comfortable right out of the box. Wore them to mow very wet grass and feet remained dry (only time will tell how they fare in Adirondack weather). I also wore them on a hike into a remote lake up north, good traction and protective footbed. The price is moderate, there are cheaper boots, but these seem pretty rugged in comparison. I hope to get several years out of them.

Title: great!
Review: Merrell footwear does not disappoint. These hikers are light, sturdy, attractive, so comfortable. great grip, I always check wet rocks before stepping, so far these have gripped well. (oh, yea no water leakage!) I'm on my second pair of Merrell jungle mocks, had the first ones 3 years, couldn't kill them, still wearing them for yardwork. These Moab's' will last a long time. my favorite shoe is handmade by Nicks', about $700 a pair, my favorite commercially made shoe comes from Merrell!... don't change anything! thank you.

Title: Great hiking boots
Review: Loved everything about these boots including the color, durability, easy to break in, decently lightweight and comfortable. Only negative is after a long hike feet felt quite warm, little ventilation but thats probably with most hiking shoes

Title: Great for the Price!
Review: I have had these for a 6 months now and have gone on many trail hikes. These have lasted very well and one of the most comfortable shoes I've had. They fit to size and support my feet well!

Title: These are excellent for camping or hiking in warm climates
Review: I love these boots for the summer months. They are waterproof but handle the heat very well. They are light weight and comfortable for racking up miles quickly in.

Title: Seems very well constructed - Good quality.
Review: I've been wearing Merrell Mid hiking shoes since 2016. My previous two pairs were Moab 2, and I've been very happy with the wear, fit and waterproof qualities. Right out of the box, I noticed that the Moab 3 looks to be even sturdier then the Moab 2. The sole has a more aggressive tread and the toe and heel are more reinforced. The fit is sturdy and the insert seems to have a more significant arch support. I read some reviews reporting that the sizing runs a little small, and I notice that they seem to fit snug, but that might be because they are new.Some reviews report that they are not waterproof; as of this writing, I haven't had an opportunity to test that facet. I don't use Merrell's for necessarily just hiking, but more of a daily wear during the colder seasons and inclement weather (although I do occasionally hike with these). They have always been very comfortable, so I am looking forward to the Moab 3. I will update this review, once I have experienced wet conditions and after a break-in period.

Title: Always comforatable.
Review: For light hiking and casual outdoor activity, Merrell has been my go to for years. They fit well, they size as expected and are comforatable throughout the lifespan of the shoe. I wear them until they are totally worn out, 2-3 years on average. Don't expect them to be truely waterproof. If you step in a deep puddle or walk in water, they will leak. If you're in the rain on walking through wet vegitation, they do ok. Overall, a good shoe for the price.

Review: These boots fit the instant I put them on and really are waterproof. I bought them not as hiking boots but for general farm work and we've had a wet spring so there's been lots of opportunity to test the boots. These were size 12 wide and getting boots to fit my wider foot has always been a challenge. These are more than worth the price.

Review: Excelente producto, muy cómodas y de gran calidad, el único detalle es que busqué con gorotex y amazon me mostró esta bota y al recibirla vi que soló es waterproff, ya he visto otras Merrel y si tiene gorotex lo indica explícitamente la bota. fue mi error comprarla sin gorotex y estoy satisfecho con ellas pero el buscador de amazon no me las debió mostrar.
