Merrell Women's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe

trail running

I returned the trail runners and purchased these Moabs

sweaty

You need merino wool socks, and even then my feet got pretty sweaty.

sneaker

Not quite as light as sneakers, obviously,

size large

So I would probably order one size large if you want them to fit.

replacement

The worst aspect by far is the soles, which are weirdly low quality and simply must be replaced with inserts.

hiking

Comfortable and lightweight hiking shoes The shoe fits true to size.

It does keep my feet warm and they are very comfortable to wear in the rain and it is perfect for hiking.

Great shoe and good price I had an upcoming alaska trip and I needed a good pair of hiking shoes that were waterproof.

Great hiking shoes; reasonable price Love these.

I go through a lot of hiking shoes as I wear them not only for hiking,

Francamente non saprei se ci sono alternative più fresche, almeno tra i marchi noti nel trekking.

I hiked through mountains, as well as walking for hours on concrete and cobblestone European streets, and I found they worked perfectly for both scenarios.

For the quality, the comfort, the durability and the price, I think they are great shoes; especially if you want no-fuss shoes that work for urban walking and outdoor hiking.

professional

Great for roofing We run a rain gutter business and my son is always running around on roofs.

comfortable

Also, the liners are comfortable out of the box,

I wore them a couple times before my trip and there were no hot spots and were extremely comfortable.

There Worth The Money, Don't Even Give It A Second Thought, There Light Weight And Flexible Including Comfort Rubber Sole That's Cushion With Every Step You Take.

So Comfortable And Come Many Color's To Chose From, Also The Fit Is Perfect.

I like rhat these have good arch support and the EVA liner feels comfortable after 2 days of light use.

Sturdy, comfortable I wore these shoes backpacking through Europe for two months.

They’re very comfortable and I can honestly say my feet barely ever felt sore, even after walking 25km trails.

wear

I wore these shoes all day for several consecutive days and I couldn't be happier with the performance.

Prior to my trip, I'd been wearing these at my cabin where I go for lengthy walks along paved and unpaved roads.

Am wearing them on a European road trip and they will be perfect for rugged cobblestone streets, urban treks, even hillside meanderings.

We'll see how long it takes for them to wear out.

I'm glad I tried them on at a store first, because I generally wear a 10-1/2, sometimes an 11.

stretchy

(If they happen to stretch out a little I can counter this with thicker socks).

small-size

However most of the reviews I’ve read/watched say they run a little on the small size.

slippery

As I tested them out on the stairs, going downhill my foot would slide forward with my toes hitting the edge, even despite various lacing tricks.

sizing

length

The boot length is right on, the width may be a little snug.

Light, supportive, with traditional leather upper I wanted to replace a pair of hiking boots that I’ve had for decades, and after looking long and hard, these fit the bill.

I had a pair of goretex LOWAS for 15 years that carried me hiking through Ireland, the Grand Canyon, the Ozark Mountains, and hauling wood on the family farm.

I was talking to someone about the best pair of hikers I ever had (Lowas) and came here to see if there was a similar pair.

I do wear mine tight around the ankles for stability (hikers are made for this) & they do this well.

Without breaking them in, I hiked in the Alps, and it was fantastic going up and down.

This is my 2nd pair of Lowa Renegade hikers.

I have since worn them as my “go to” footwear and have hiked in Canada, Alaska, Colorado, Arizona, Texas and other parts of the U.S. My last hike with them was Machu Picchu in Peru - a fitting finale for them,

I was looking for a boot that I can spend the day wearing while hiking.

For my third pair I ordered .5 size larger than I have in the past (I read something about this on a site that specializes in hiking footwear).

sole

Wish I could be more specific… Maybe not enough of arch and support on the base?

I had zero discomfort and plenty of cushion with these.

I had to return my original pair and get a replacement because there was a hole in it,

had to return/exchange

damage

walking

After only 2 months of light wear (barely any trail time, mostly street walking), the sole started coming apart.

stiff

but they were brand new so they were naturally stiff.

roomy

But I had to try 3 pairs of these to finally get the right fit, which wound up being a 7, and they're roomy.

return/exchange policy

When you are ready to take off your boots, you just need to untie it and pull the tounge forward, the top three lace loops will untie automatically and you can easily slip it off.

The sole has a very good grip and it makes me feel confident that I am not going to slip and fall, no matter the weather Conditions.

Unfortunately I'm passed the 30 day return policy, so I'll have to eat the cost.

width

The one thing is that these shoes can run really wide, I guess I have a more narrow for because I have to tighten then quite a bit, which leaves an excess amount of the straps on the sides.

uncomfortable

The venting on the top does make a difference and the toe box isn't so uncomfortable that it's a problem (I mean, they're climbing shoes, of course, they're going to be uncomfortable).

toe shoe-box

tennis shoe

As for the sizing: normally you go a half size down or so with rock climbing shoes in comparison to your tennis shoes.

tennis

hiking shoe

Columbia Women's Crestwood

but honestly the biggest downfalls have been that they are either very HEAVY and/or they are uncomfortable because they squeeze my foot and I lose circulation.

strap tightness

I wear very thin socks and even then when I pulled the laces tight (not too tight), the shoe had enough give to accomodate my foot comfortably.

small-size width

but run small and narrow; size UP I saw these initially in a shoe warehouse in 11M (my typical shoe size is 10W, but I’ve also worn 11M or 11W, depending on the shoe/sandal style and fit.)

They are definitely not water proof if you slip into a puddle or stream,

run large

Run large for Columbia I have always worn a 6 and half in Columbia Shoes.

stretchy strap

This design change lets the structural rib to hug your foot tight after you lace up.

vacation

I compensated by loosening the laces as much as possible.

These Merrell Moab 3 hiking shoes were delivered just two days before I left on a trip to Moab, Utah to do hiking in Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park.

I was only able to get about seven miles on these shoes before my trip.

I ordered these for a trip where we planned to do a lot of hiking.

width foot

The brown ones were super tight and uncomfortable.

size

I'm a wide width merral and have to get double wide or half a size larger in other brands.

As far as size, I normally wear anywhere from a 10.5 to 11,

but got this in 11.5 and feels like the correct size you may need to go a 1/2 size larger than normal.

When I went to try and return for an 11W, they didn't have my color listed for that size.

I do plan on buying them in my size and the color I want based on how they felt from trying them on.

worn-out

I hiked mount Olympus in them the day I took them out of the box and had not a single hot spot or discomfort.

shipping

Most recently I tried the Altra Lone Peak 5's and while they had some nice points, I ended up sending them back in favor of these (check out my review of those for more details).

expensive

For such a pricey shoe, the outer and inside workmanship should be at the level of the top competitor brands.
