Merrell Women's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe

This hiking shoe is my new favorite! I usually like to put at least twenty miles on a new pair of shoes before I do any serious hiking or walking. 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. They fit perfectly and are true to size. No need to break in this shoe. The Vibram soles are amazing on my plantar fasciitis. I was able to hike to Delicate Arch and several other hikes. They had great traction on the slick sandstone. I put in about fifteen miles of hiking the first day in Arches NP. These shoes helped my feet feel their best. I have the Moab 2 Waterproof hiking shoes as well and I love them, but when I’m not in cold or wet climates, the waterproof shoes get too hot. These Moab 3 shoes are perfect for dry hiking. I put about thirty miles on them in three days of hikes, and my feet never got sore or even achy. I will definitely purchase these shoes again.

I love these shoes. I've had them for several months now and the fit is perfect and true to size. They are comfortable on long hikes. The support is good in them and they have good traction when walking rocky areas. I like them better than the Accentor style. These have a better fit.

I love the fit. Fits true to size. Durable like Merrell always is. Quality is fabulous. Very comfortable. Good arch and heel support. I haven't been outside to check the traction yet but Merrel is trusted for traction. Waterproof was a big thing for me. I love the style and colors too. Definitely a value

So comfortable right out of the box. Great for long walks and super cute. True to size. Very happy.

Runs a half size small. I found the shoe to have a great shape and immediate comfort. I should have ordered one half size up. I normally wear US Women’s size 9. A size 9 and 1/2 would have been more comfortable. I compensated by loosening the laces as much as possible. Because of that they come untied. The shoe is beautifully made and I love the olive green color. I like that the toe box is covered in leather suede. If a shoe has a mesh toe box the toes rip a hole in the mesh. The sole traction is also very good. I feel a lot of support wearing the shoe. Overall, a good pick. I would buy again in a larger size.

I ordered my usual size 7.5 and they're perfect! I got lucky and got the very last pair of brindle tea. I wanted a soft pink suede leather shoe with black outer soles & am lucky to have found them in this high end Merrell brand. The vibram sole is the best and will last forever. Usually vibram soled shoes cost around $200 and I am super stoked about the price I bought these for! They're super comfortable & have great arch support.

These arrived right away, also perfectly packaged in their shoebox along with the wool socks I ordered at the same time, both in the same plastic mailer. I wasn't sure I would like the color, described as taupe, with the yellow/gold lace loops, thinking I might wish I had ordered a darker or grayish tone color with cool colored accents. But these are beautiful with a light celedon tint to the fabric and a lovely cocoa color to the leather accents. And th gold is very pretty next to these colors. Size was my biggest concern as there were so many varying reviews. Although I generally wear an 8-1/2 I decided to order a size 9. I put them on right away andthought they felt just right. Stood up and pressed my thumb on top of my big toe that stops right wh fabric upper and the black rubber toe meet. Toes are not jammed against the tip of the to area, wiggle room for all my toes but not too big or loose feeling. But the solid arch support does feel like it sits back a bit under my arch, not exactly center. So I was thinking I should order another pair in 8.5 to compare. But I am extremely pronated and a really good arch support can feel a little odd at first. I even asked my husband to confirm (he used to manage a sporting goods store and fitted many customers for the right shoes, etc.) He agreed they are not too big. So I think the 8-1/2 might be too snug, etc. I also have a very narrow foot, although with age that may not be quite as true as it once was? My foot does not slip at the heel so I think a half size up was the right decision.

I have been hiking on and off now for years and I have struggled with foot pain. My previous shoes (New Balance) were used for level terrain but would start giving me pain around the one mile mark. Since I like to hike for about 5-10 miles each time, I would be in a world of pain by hike's end.Since I wanted to remain hiking, I did a ton of online research and time and time again I would come across recommendations for the Moab 3 hiking shoe. Eventually I gave in and decided to give them a try. After my first 6 mile walk, I had NO pain. None. I was even walking at the front of the group leaving the other members in the dust. All this with no break-in time, meaning no blisters. Note: The New Balance shoes gave me wicked blisters even after taping my heels.The feel of the shoe is rigid and tight, but not painful. I would recommend you sizing up a half size for ultimate comfort. The 9 size fit my 8.5 foot perfectly. You also gain about an inch in height, which was nice. Also, the grip on the sole was excellent. I was walking down stone stairs with ease and no fear of slippage.Conclusion: I'm very impressed with this shoe. From hiking the outdoors to walking miles and miles on the Las Vegas Strip, these held up like no other hiking boot/shoe I've worn before. I highly recommend.
