Fails to Perform in Wet Conditions
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
I had high hopes for the Merrell Moab 3 with Gore-Tex, given their legacy as a go-to boot for many hikers. While they offer decent comfort for casual use, my experience revealed significant, deal-breaking flaws in key performance areas, particularly when faced with challenging, wet terrain. The most significant failure is the waterproofing. Despite the Gore-Tex branding, which implies robust protection, these shoes are merely water-resistant. During a hike in a steady downpour, they held up for about 45 minutes before my socks were completely soaked. The sole's performance on wet rock is alarmingly poor. While hiking over damp stones and roots, the grip was practically non-existent, making for a treacherous and slippery experience akin to walking on ice. This lack of reliable traction is a major safety concern for anyone hiking in variable weather or on trails that aren't perfectly dry. On my very first hike, the mesh fabric on the upper sustained a small rip from a minor scrape against a rock. A shoe designed for the trail should be able to withstand this kind of incidental contact. This early failure raises serious questions about the long-term durability of the materials. Ironically for a shoe that lets water in so easily, it struggles to let heat out. In hot, dry conditions, my feet quickly became overheated and sweaty, indicating that the materials do not offer adequate ventilation for warm-weather hiking. I cannot recommend the Merrell Moab 3 for serious hikers or anyone who ventures out in less-than-perfect conditions. The failures in waterproofing, wet-surface traction, and durability make it an unreliable and potentially unsafe choice for its intended purpose. However, if your activities are limited to short, fair-weather walks on well-maintained, dry trails, the out-of-the-box comfort might be suitable for your needs. For anything more demanding, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.

Second pair. Tried a few in between but came back to this perfect classic. Comfy right out of the box. Took on Yellowstone with ease.

Love the shoes, but not the laces!
Originally posted on Merrell

I absolutely love the shoes, but the laces never stay tied! Even with a double knot, I am constantly re-tying them. I may need to purchase alternate laces. Sizing wise, they seem to run wide. I wish they were slightly narrower (the regular width) since they offer a wide width as well.

Sometimes the laces can become "slick" and can become untied. This will go away over time. You can try handwashing the laces to help speed this up. Remove them first and allow to air dry before relacing. We hope this helps.
Great all around hiking shoe

Love these shoes for moderate hiking on slick rock surfaces. The shoes are light for their durability level with excellent traction on slick rocks. They provide plenty of room in the toe box (I have narrow feet and generally go for a snugger shoe, but these are perfect while I am recovering from a pretty bad toenail situation). I have other boots that I will stick with for more serious hikes for their better toe protection from rocks, but these will be my every day hiking shoes for now.

Sizing Be sure to pick your regular size

I ordered a 9 as i have always done with running shoes. I wear 8.5 dress shoes. The 9 in this shoe was big so i had to wear 2 socks on my trip.

Simply the best

I love these shoes. They are great for hiking trails as well as just running around town. They look great on their own as well as with jeans for when you’re not hitting the trail. I have had a pair in the past and they last forever!! I needed a newer pair for an upcoming trip and I am so happy with them. Tested them out on an hour hike, fresh out of the box, and had no issues!

Perfect comfort and great size options
Originally posted on Merrell

Love these shoes! I bought them for a hiking trip in the English Lake District and quite frankly am now wearing them 12/7, everywhere except fancy parties, because they are so comfortable. I normally am size 10.5 or 11 but was able to size up to a 12 in women’s to accommodate my custom orthotics, which I often can’t do. Usually women’s shoes stop at size 11 if they even go that large, and switching to a men’s size doesn’t work for me because I have narrow feet. So happy to have found these Merrells.

I love these hiking shoes. Took them out for a 6hour hike in Sedona with no break-in. I've only used Merrell footwear for outdoor adventures for many years due to comfort and great quality.

Ordered shoes may not be same as what you have.
Originally posted on Merrell
I have other Merrell shoes so I ordered the same size, 11.5. These Moab 3 Gore-Tex are too tight but I wore them thinking they needed breaking in. Mistake, but I can’t return them since they have been worn. Be careful if you order on line.

I only use these for walking the dog through wet grass. After one month, waterproofing is holding up, which is better than I experienced with the regular waterproof Moabs.
