MerrellMen's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe, Black Night, 10

This my second pair in a year. The first pair I wore into the ground. not because they are cheap but because I loved them so much. I wore them nearly every day in the last year and like with everything you it will eventually wear out. Still available for some especially dirty jobs they are still fit for use and no duct tape yet either. These shoes are like having butter wrapped around my foot. I wear them backpacking, camping, and frankly every day. even the gym. Thats why I needed a new pair, not they are ragged out it's just they kind of look that way. Fantastic shoe I just hope Merrell doesn't every stop making these shoes because when I eventually wear out these new shoes I'll be back for another pair

I love these shoes. They are perfect for my dry weather hiking. I had used trail running shoes on hikes for many years, because I frequently combine hiking with running, but I was getting bad blisters wearing a pair of HOKA trail running shoes. The blistering would start around mile 6 or 7. I decided to get real hiking shoes. I selected the Merrell Moab 3 shoes after reading the positive reviews on blisters. I was not disappointed. After a 10-mile hike, I had zero blisters. Mission accomplished!Also, I had some concerns about how much cushioning I would get with these shoes vs. the very cushioned HOKA, but I found this to be no problem at all. The cushioning was just right. Another concern was grip. I had previous experience with sliding and falling with other trail shoes. So, I put the Moab 3 to the test going up and down loose gravel paths and walking on steppingstones across water streams. I was not disappointed.

Ok first, these are a super comfy trail shoe they I used for moderate hiking in Volcanoes National Park. Opted for the non waterproof version which enabled my feet to breathe well and these were super comfy right out of the box - no break in. Other than an unexpected run in with the Pacific Ocean (my fault, I mis guessed the wave timing) no issues and they dried quickly in front of a fireplace.The grip across different terrain was awesome! I have Solomon mid boots as well and I’d say the grip on the Moab3 outperformed my Solomons. Couldn’t wait to get back into them next day and trek across different terrain - literally felt like I had 4x4 traction on my feet! Really nice shoe. My only wish were for an additional top lace hole so I could loop back and double tighten but it’s not a deal breaker. These shoes were worth every penny!

Still the same great shoe as the version 1, but with a better lug pattern on the sole. They fit true to size and seem to have plenty of toebox room, which is a must for me. As a now-retired guy they still tick my boxes for an all-around leisure/light hiking (trail) shoe. Breathability is good and that's a plus living in Texas.

I purchased these Merrell Moab 3s back in November 2023, and they've quickly become my go-to hiking and all-around adventure shoes. I got them in size 10 wide in the Black Night color, which looks just as sharp in person as it does online—sleek but rugged.Right out of the box, they were comfortable with zero break-in time. The pigskin leather and mesh combo is breathable but durable, and I appreciate the eco-friendly touches like the 100% recycled laces, webbing, and mesh lining. The Bellows tongue really does a great job keeping out dirt and debris, which is especially noticeable on muddier trails.The fit is spot-on. The Kinetic Fit ADVANCED insole gives solid support without feeling too stiff, and the heel cushioning makes a huge difference on longer treks. My feet don’t ache after a day of hiking, which is more than I can say for past shoes.Traction is also top-tier. The Vibram TC5+ sole grips well on wet rocks, loose gravel, and other terrain. I feel secure on all kinds of terrain. Plus, the Merrell Air Cushion and EVA midsole combo adds noticeable shock absorption and overall comfort.The bottom line is that these are sturdy, well-made, and comfortable right out of the gate. If you’re looking for a dependable hiking shoe that can take a beating and still feel great, this is it. I’d absolutely buy them again.

Purchased these last minute for a vacation with lots of hiking. A bit concerned in that I didn't get a chance to break them in. Arrived the day before we left for a trip to Argentina.After two weeks of hiking, including 2 different 13 mile hikes in mountainous terrain, I can say these are great shoes.Even had a couple of water missteps where I dunked a foot. Feet stayed pretty dry.No issues. Fit great (true to size 15). Wide toe box. Lots of room to adjust tightness. No hot spots or blisters.Bonus points-wife likes the way they look!

I've been wearing the Merrell Moab shoe for a while, though this is my first Moab 3. I will say that these shoes are just *slightly* bigger than a regular shoe size, and I found it beneficial to order a half size down. When you're doing long hikes, it's nice to not have your foot sliding around in your shoe. Snug is good.

These are the comfiest shoes I have ever worn hands down! I love the way they come in wide, which really are wide unlike other brands, which means I don’t have to have to go a size up to get the right width. I would highly recommend these shoes, they are so comfy you forget you are wearing them!!
