A great all around boot. To a casual walking of the dog to taking on some or New Hampshires 4000 footer there is nothing these boots can't handle. It's a nice piece of mind when stepping into a puddle I'm not going to have wet feet to ruin my day. I have never worn a pair of Merrell's I didn't like.

Great for everyday or hiking. I like the opening that allows your foot to slip in without using a shoe horn or having to sit down and pull on.

Boots are comfortable from out of the box! So far mostly short hikes, ten miles of less. Will bring giving them a true test later this summer.

Crunchy, sweaty feet

Experience so far? Could have lived without the goretex, it’s crunchy and that doesn’t get any better… and as much as they keep water out, they also keep foot sweat in. 🥵

No cushion/shock absorption.
Originally posted on Merrell

I have been wearing merrell boots for 25 years. I'm not sure exactly how many pairs I've had, but this was my fourth pair of Moab 3 GTX. I've always been able to wear them to hike right out of the box. They have always been the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. I bought this latest iteration because they improved the outsole by giving them more of a lug pattern for better traction. I went for a short hike in them today and I could not believe how incredibly uncomfortable they are. It feels as though there is no cushion/shock absorption at all. I have never experienced this with any hiking boots I've ever worn. It was like walking barefoot on concrete. My feet hurt so bad, I couldn't wait to get down so I could take them off. I'm extremely disappointed, as I have been talking up merrell for two decades. I don't know if merrell sells factory seconds or factory rejects, but something is definitely wrong with this pair. I would like to return them, but unfortunately, it's too late. Merrell, what happened?

I’ve used these for my landscaping job and for hiking! They’re incredibly comfortable for both, and my feet have stayed dry! The Moab is the best in the business for a reason!

Extreme conditions for a year… AMAZING!
Originally posted on Merrell

Buy these shoes at any price! That’s how good they are. For real. I got these and put them through extreme wet conditions that would have immediately destroyed most other shoes. I wore them completely submerged in knee deep salt water while spear fishing flounder… for months. I wore them while trying to save a sunken sailing yacht covered in slippery algae… tread so grippy I felt like Spider-Man. Afterwards I’d hose them off inside and out with a water jet nosel and hung them upside down to dry in the sun… they looked brand new for months. I don’t know how much research went into the development of these shoes, but I can confidently say that Merrell got it right… better than right with these. After using these shoes through the harshest of conditions for over a year, it’s time for another pair and I can’t wait to get ‘em.

I purchased the Moab 3 waterproof mid hiking boots and have worn them about a month. They are remarkable and have performed well in every habitat. I am a birder and do 5 to 19 thousand steps a days d the Moab 3 boots are a perfect choice.

NEED TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD
Originally posted on Merrell

So here goes the shoe looks fantastic and that it!! There is no support whatsoever ,there is no structure to keep your feet from swimming side to side I laced to a point that I thought I was either going snap the laces or put my feet to sleep from constriction!!! To label them As RUGGED is a joke!! The sole is way too forgiving They need to go back to the drawing board on this !!!

So comfortable I bought another for everyday use!

This is my second pair. I bought the low rise for hiking and they are amazing. So comfortable this is my second pair for everyday use. Grippy, quiet, waterproof and fits my narrow high arch feet perfectly. From flat grassy terrain to bouldering at over 13000 feet in Wyoming these are the best hikers I've ever worn. I consider myself an experienced hiker with several 20-85 mile non stop hikes under my belt. Buy these you wont be disappointed.

This is my 2nd pair of hiking Moab boots. I thought they would cope in winter, but no, it was a bit cold. The GOR-TEX waterproofing did its job well!

Good looking boot, questionable quality
Originally posted on Merrell

I replaced my "regular" Moab 3s with the gortex version and right out of the box I was disappointed. Purchased online in October and when I put them on they didn't have the same snug fit of my old Moabs. (Even with a wool sox, there's just to much wiggle room.) The boots were water proof for a hot minute. I live in an urban area, not a lot of streams to cross; but my feet still get wet. Boot doesn't even have to be submerged, just some water on the mesh does the trick. I have since purchased a pair of non- gortex Moabs. I'll save the gortex for a dry summer hike or dress down day in the office.
