Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 3 Mid WP

My third pair of the same great hiking boots. Still comfortable but the toe box is not as wide as my previous pairs, which is a little disappointing as I need the wide toe box to accommodate my bunions.

If I had reviewed this yesterday, five stars, no problem. But after a 6 miler today in mostly snow I am rather disappointed. I wanted to give the Moab 3 100 miles before my review and today's performance was not what I expected. The fit is great and I appreciate the longer laces. The snug heel side "cheeks" took some getting used to, but I like them. I wish they had a gaiter loop up front so I wouldn't have to hook my gaiters onto my laces. The wetness today is a real bummer, though. I've been a loyal Moab wearer, so much so that I bought three pairs of the orginal when I understood they were changing the model. Fit is still great.

I loved my last pair of Merrill so I tried to buy another pair. This one is higher on the ankle so rubbed me a lot. I thought it would go away when I wore it longer, but it hasn't. It also is not as waterproof as my previous pair. I don't know why it isn't as good.

Bought these a couple days ago. Very comfortable. Wore them for the first time today on a short hike in the woods. It wasn't raining, but the foliage was damp. My feet were wet within 30minutes.

Good boots but most definitely not waterproof! I'm a San Fran East Bay resident and usually hike on Mount Diablo and in the local regional parks and open spaces. I purchased these at my local Sports Basement in August to replace a pair of Keen waterproof hiking boots that I wore almost daily through last year's rainy season. I wore the Moab 3 boots six times to hike our dry August/September trails and was quite satisfied with the comfort level and grip on rocky terrain. Then I took them to Montana to hike in Glacier National Park. My first hike there was an early morning one-mile nature trail at the northwest edge of the park. No creek or lake crossings were involved. The high grass surrounding the trail was very damp with the morning dew. The boots were soaked through after that short one-mile loop. I returned to my cabin where I poured an eighth of an inch of water out of the right boot and changed dripping wet socks. I hiked the remainder of my Glacier NP trip in my sneakers. Sports Basement accepted my return so I'm satisfied with the outcome but these boots are simply not waterproof. They'd be fine for a year-round dry climate/desert hiking.

I purchased these in July and finally got to test out how waterproof they are on a rainy 8.5 mile long hike in the Catskills. Unfortunately, these only lasted about 3 hours before my feet were soaked. I have been struggling to find a pair of wide boots that actually fit me; regular width boots don't leave enough room for my pinky toes to not suffer blisters. These were really bulky around the toe box. There was too much vertical space so I needed to lace them tightly to counteract. I wish I could return them, but I don't know if that is possible at this point.

I just came back from walking my dog, it is a snowy rainy day here and my socks and feet are soaked! I purchased the shoes trusting the brand and the waterproof claim only for my feet to get uncomfortably wet inside the shoes. The removable soles were soaked too

I purchased Merrill's Moab hiking boots to wear for work (I work outdoors and for hiking). The boots are very comfortable and fit well. However they are not waterproof! My socks got completely soaked while wearing the boots on wet grass and stepping in shallow puddles, I returned the Merrell boots and purchased a pair of Keen boots.
