5.0 out of 5 stars Very comfortable, low profile walking shoes
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024
Size: 9Color: Aluminum/MarlinVerified Purchase
I like the Merrell brand of shoes in general and own a pair of their ankle supporting hiking shoes. I was looking for a low profile, relatively light weight walking shoe for use during a walking trip this summer.
These are perfect! Comfortable right out of the box. Actually lighter weight than I expected. I have a bunion on one foot and the width is great, no pressure spots. The tread is good without being "rock climbing" material. One extra benefit is that the arch support tends to very slightly push my foot outward so that there is less tendency to walk toward the inside of my ankles. My feet feeling like they are flat on the surface. Highly recommend.

Great support and tread - good choice for a low profile hiking shoe. Somewhat heavy, but sturdy and comfortable. I ordered the beige/tan because it was on sale, but I still liked the shoe well enough to exchange the 8 for a 7.5 in another color that unfortunately was not on sale.

Size: 8Color: BrindleVerified Purchase
So I have had these a while. I liked them ok. Fit reg size 8 perfect fit. They broke in easy. I got extra insoles for them. They were a bit harder than id like but overall comfortable. A year later their feels like there's something in the right shoe near the toes but the seems are worn. I do wear them mostly every day but I'm still surprised the seems are popping out in the toe line like that. So it's a slight annoyance. The first six months were good. A bit dissatisfied with how fast the wear and tear is coming now. Merrill usually makes better quality products. My last ones I had three years. But I still give it four stars for the first six months. Not bad. Especially if they aren't your mostly every day shoes.

Size: 7.5 WideColor: Aluminum/MarlinVerified Purchase
I've been looking for a good trail shoe at local stores. They seem to have very few choices if any. And if they have anything I like, chances are likely not my size. I hesitated to order on line as I often try several shoes on and nothing fits well. I ordered wide. And these are definitely wide. I can easily wear heavier socks if needed. On the could trail walks I've been on, the tread is very good. Comfort very good. And definitely good arch support. My feet felt terrific after my walk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Comfort and Fit for All-Day Hiking!
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2023
Size: 9.5Color: SmokeVerified Purchase
I recently purchased a pair of Merrell hiking boots, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my purchase. These boots have completely transformed my hiking experience, and I can confidently say they are worth every penny.

First and foremost, the fit is impeccable. I ordered my usual size, and they fit like a glove from the moment I put them on. The boots provide excellent support without feeling restrictive, and I haven't experienced any discomfort or blisters during my hikes.

Comfort is where these boots truly shine. I've worn them on several all-day hikes, and my feet have never felt better. The cushioning and arch support are spot-on, ensuring I can trek for hours without any fatigue or pain. Whether I'm navigating rocky terrain or tackling steep ascents, these boots provide the stability and comfort I need.

Overall, I can't recommend these Merrell hiking boots enough. They combine a perfect fit, exceptional comfort, and durability in a way that enhances my hiking adventures. If you're looking for a reliable pair of hiking boots that will keep your feet happy and comfortable during long treks, these are the ones to get. Five stars all the way!

3.0 out of 5 stars I normally love merrell, they fit well and are usually very comfortable
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023
Size: 11Color: Aluminum/MarlinVerified Purchase
I’ve already owned a few Merrills and have liked them a lot; they fit well, quality materials, but this has been strange because the shoe size 11 which i normally wear, and is a bit big for me but I need the length, is very wide in the toes. 10 1/2 didn’t quite fit which I thought would, was wide in the toes too, and for all the Merrell shoes I’ve ever worn or tried on this is the most uncomfortable foot bed they’ve ever put in a shoe. It’s the insert and it’s hard! What’s strange is that the last shoe I ordered was actually leather and this one looks like it was punched out of artificial material and it also doesn’t say leather on the label anymore? What’s that about? I love the tread, and color, but they don’t run large like everyone said, but wide. Amazon charges manipulated pricing which makes shopping with them less desirable but the ordering and returns work nicely. I decided for the money to go waterproof esp. after reading you cannot waterproof the material yourself. So I ordered brindle and, the 11 fits much smaller, but might still work. I have to change out the inserts, ( hard). I’m debating between it and Columbia which has a somewhat softer bed, and wider fit. The Merrell has a little flaw on it but might not be a big issue. Quality is not the same as before. Certainly not comfort and consistency. Why doesn’t the label say leather anymore? My other Merrill’s are very comfortable to walk in. These require different inserts, and at least, and some breaking in? Still an overall nice design. Think I’ll try to find more out about the leather upper that doesn’t say anything anymore.

We have been purchasing the Moab 2 for some time--just order a new pair when the present one gets worn. They fit well, do not need to be "broken in" and wear well. Overall, well designed and constructed.
