Title: Great Shoe!
Review: Before I purchased this shoe on Amazon, I had been trying on different brands and styles of shoes at various stores. I knew I wanted something built with good materials that would last me several years, look good with a variety of different clothing options, and work well for a wide variety of activities including hiking, working out, walking around all day, etc., and also at a good price. I'm not a fan of spending tons of money on several different pairs of shoes tailored to each individual activity. I found a pair of these at a store and really liked how they looked and fit. My foot fits well in the size I purchased, and there is some arch support as well, but not overpowering. I've never has a pair of Merrell's before, but they're known for good quality and these shoes look and feel like good quality. They have real leather, thick tractiony soles, an agressive look, and tons of color options. I've worn them for a couple of weeks and they feel great. The best part was the price. At the store I tried them on at, they cost $120. Then I checked on Amazon and they had my size for under $60. I noticed the price was different depending on size, and possibly color, with some of them costing as much as $120. I'm not sure why this is. You might want to select different options before purchasing to see if one size or color is a better price. They are also probably a bit heavy for people that want something really light for running or working out, but for me it just makes my workout a little more challenging. It's not supposed to be easy, right? Other than that, there were a couple of other little issues I should mention. For some reason, the shoe I got looked like a lighter shade than what was pictured. Then I held the shoe up next to the picture, and they looked the same color. It may be that the pictures were taken under different lighting conditions that made them seem a bit darker, I don't know, but I've seen other reviews that say the color is different, and I thought so too until I held them right next to each other. A trick of the mind. The last issue is size, and this is the most important. I'm glad I tried them on at a store first, because I generally wear a 10-1/2, sometimes an 11. At the store I needed an 11-1/2, but they fit perfectly! I ordered an 11-1/2, and again they fit perfectly. So I would probably order one size large if you want them to fit. On a last note, I liked these so much that I ordered another pair of a different color. I felt like these were such a great shoe at such a great price, it was well worth it to have a second pair. These will probably last me a good 10 years between the two.

Title: Excellent Choice for Comfort and Support
Review: I recently purchased these, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort, fit, and overall quality. As someone with flat feet, finding the right pair of shoes can be a challenge, but these shoes have been a game-changer for me.First and foremost, the sizing of the Moab 3 was spot on. I decided to go half a size up to provide some extra toe room, and I'm glad I did. Despite the slight increase in size, the shoe still offers a snug fit around the heel, ensuring excellent support and stability. The extra room in the toe area did not compromise the overall comfort in any way.One of the standout features of these shoes is their substantial build combined with lightweight design. The Moab 3 feels durable and well-constructed, making it suitable for various terrains and activities. However, what surprised me the most was how incredibly lightweight they are. This aspect not only enhances the overall comfort but also prevents the shoes from feeling heavy and cumbersome, particularly during long walks or hikes.Additionally, these shoes excel in breathability, making them ideal for hot climates. Even in scorching temperatures, my feet remained cool and dry thanks to the excellent ventilation and moisture-wicking properties of the materials used. This feature adds to the overall comfort and prevents any discomfort or sweating that can occur in warmer environments.What truly sets the Merrell Men's Moab 3 apart is the fact that they require little to no break-in period. From the moment I put them on, they felt incredibly comfortable as if they were custom-made for my feet. This is a significant advantage, especially for those who need a reliable pair of shoes right out of the box.In conclusion, I highly recommend these shoes, particularly for individuals with flat feet seeking exceptional comfort, support, and durability. The added half size for extra toe room did not compromise the fit, and the shoes maintain a snug feel around the heel. The lightweight design and impressive breathability make them perfect for warm climates. Moreover, the lack of a break-in period ensures instant comfort and convenience. Overall, these shoes have become one of the most comfortable pairs I have ever worn, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.ChatGPT 4UserIf I am 44.5 in Asics, 44 2/3 Adidas, 44 Salomon, 43.5-44 Sketchers.

For gravel terrains I advise not taking this one as it kets gravel inside and chose sonething with higher *cutions*. The extra half size akso did not help in the descent as the foot tends to slip forward torturing the toes. Ths was my original review: *I recently purchased these, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort, fit, and overall quality.

My Merrell Men's Moab 3 shoes, which had previously impressed me, were put to the ultimate test during this experience.Firstly, the shoes maintained their exceptional comfort and fit throughout the climb. Their warmth was a boon in the chilly conditions, yet they remained remarkably breathable, which was crucial for such a strenuous journey. However, the descent, particularly on the rough terrain of the Subashiri route, proved challenging for the shoes' outer material. Despite losing its tint, the shoes' durability was commendable, showing great potential for many more adventures.For those venturing into gravel terrains, I would advise against this model. The shoes have a tendency to allow gravel intrusion, which can be quite uncomfortable. A different pair with higher protections or 'cushions' might be more suitable for such conditions.An important note on sizing – I originally went half a size up for extra toe room, which seemed beneficial initially. However, during the descent, this choice led to my feet slipping forward, causing discomfort to my toes. This is something to consider for those planning similar downhill treks.Original Review Summary:Spot-on sizing with extra toe room, providing comfort without compromising fit.Lightweight and durable, suitable for various terrains.Excellent breathability, ideal for hot climates.Little to no break-in period needed for immediate comfort.Conclusion:The Merrell Men's Moab 3 are still highly recommended, especially for those with flat feet seeking comfort and support. While they excel in breathability and lightweight design, one should be cautious about the size choice for downhill treks and the potential for gravel intrusion on certain terrains. Overall, these shoes have shown remarkable durability and comfort, making them a worthy investment for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Title: Good buy. Recommended
Review: Product arrived on time. The size is correct, although a bit wide. After a year of use, they are still in perfect condition and just as comfortable.

Title: Moab 3 is great for walking & casual hiking
Review: I have been buying Merrell Moab shoes for 15 years; I've had at least 6 pairs. I love the fit and instant comfort. They won't last forever - but what does? They don't have enough sole protection for hiking on rocky ground or wearing a heavy pack. They run a tad bit small so you may need to move up a half size. They look great, wear well, and provide a comfortable fit for all day on your feet. If you find a pair on sale, you've got a bargain. Highly recommended!

Title: Favorite shoe brand!
Review: These shoes are fantastic! They make my feet feel great and last longer than most of my other brand tries. Rugged and durable, they support my arches well and have remained true-to-size over the past nearly 10 years I have been wearing this brand. Highly recommended to those who work and play hard.

Title: Great Value
Review: Just received my new shoes. Fit perfectly and are very comfortable. This is a replacement for a similar shoe from the same manufacturer. My first pair lasted 8 years though rain and snow on wooded trails. Hoping I get the same results with this pair.

Title: A little stiff at first but break in quickly
Review: I nice, more rugged alternative to tennis/running shoes for hiking, while cooler and less bulky than boots. Also work well for casual wear with khaki slacks or jeans. Because they have more support, the soles a stiffer than running shoes but break in quickly and are comfortable for all day wear.

Review: I have been waiting forever to buy some hiking shoes, too many look ugly some feel fake. These are perfect. Some shoes feel like they need wearing-in, these felt perfect straight out of the Box!Wife suggested I buy another, it can wait, especially if they get better (MOAB 4). These are going to last for a good while!!These look better in your hands than in these photos.I was shopping around, looking at products in the store, as well as DFO Brisbane. As soon as I saw these babies up close I wanted them; but DFO store was selling them for like $230 plus.Found them on Amazon and at a seriously reduced price and CARTed them straight away.Happy Camper, Jane!
