Lightweight and Agile

Super lightweight boot with excellent all day comfort while keeping your feet dry. No other Merrell boot really has these features. Only true waterproof boot is a GoreTex boot. Only thing I would change is making the toe cap a little more protective like a lightweight composite safety toe cap and it would be the ultimate boot for all jobs and recreation. Would prefer if the laces were just a hair thicker. Overall one of my best Merrell purchases.

Using it for work as a letter carrier. Lightweight, nice traction and laces never come undone. Only downside is some odd reason in the inner lining on a the right shoe shows wear and tear damage 2 months in.

Very comfortable, easy to break in. Used on Inka trail with ease. Ankle support and foot cushion work great. Stayed dry inside in pouring rain. Great product

These are my everyday shoes. I wear them for work and for everything else. I don't go hiking, but for walking around the city, they are super comfortable. I just wish they came with a steel or composite toe

Superior Quality
Originally posted on Merrell

As an electrician, I think people that aren’t in the construction industry probably do not realize the importance in having a decent pair of shoes on at work. Personally, my job demands crawling, climbing, crouching, and of course standing for the better part of my day so the ever changing landscape under my feet requires something comfortable but rugged so it can keep up. I typically burn through a pair of work shoes every 6 months. So in all fairness, longevity is yet to be determined but for style and comfort? 5 stars in my humble opinion. I’d honestly say though if you haven’t had other work shoes that are known to be of a lesser quality, then try those first and then come back for these when they fall apart so you can teach yourself to appreciate superior quality.

The shoes slip, but they're genuine quality. I don't know why they slip.

Super hiking boot, but no durable
Originally posted on Merrell

Have bought several pairs. Excellent fit, comfort, support. Hike 8-10 miles, four time a week. Big downside-tread is not durable. 6 months wear, compared to 12 months on Keen.

Boots squeak after the first week. Love this brand but this time around with boots didn’t work out. Going to end up getting a different type

A squeak is usually caused by tiny air pockets in-between the insole and the foot bed. A little baby powder in between the insole and the foot bed or a new insole usually does the trick. If not, please let us know and we will get you taken care of. Our team can also help at 800-288-3124 or live chat at Merrell.com.
Junk quality, Merrell doesn’t stand behind them.

Bought a few months ago, finally got around to wearing them last week. Three hikes in and my Achilles had a blister and cut from a bad stitch in the collar. Merrell won’t exchange them because I received a discount on them when they were purchased.

No longevity
Originally posted on Merrell
I’ve bought a few pairs of these and only seem to get about 2 months before the waterproofing completely disappears and my feet get wet. I think it’s a decent shoe but not for the price tag. Merrells used to be my go to for outside shoes, but I will start to look else where due to the inflated price tag on average shoes.

Love the Gore-Tex !!

I have multiple pairs of the Moab Speed 2 but these are by far my favorite, I didn’t know if I would like the feel of the Gore-Tex but they feel great not to mention how lightweight they are. Five stars all the way around.

Perfect fit and "cured" my Achilles issues
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
I have 5 different pairs of hiking boots and have been suffering with an achilles problem for over 12 months, with multiple visits to various specialists. These boots have "cured" that problem as I have no more pain, they are perfect to the fit and traction for the hiking I do. We'll see if they hold up to the West Coast Trail in July.

Close to great
Originally posted on Merrell

Pros: Great traction from vibram and lug design, super light, looks cool. Cons: Colors don’t match product photos very well, they are much darker and more blue irl. Ankle support is very minimal but squeezes my ankle bones uncomfortably if too tight. It seems to be designed for a thick foot because I really have to cinch them down to get my foot to not slide forward in the foot bed going down hill. But at that point they’re uncomfortably tight. Coming from a product design & dev background, I get it’s difficult to make a shoe fit all shapes and sizes but I feel like they could do a better job with this especially offering a wide version. Even with a very thick sock my foot still feels like it needs to be much thicker to really have it fit like a glove. They should really focus on that aspect of their shoes because I found this true with the standard speed 2 version as well.

Moab Speed 2 Thermo Mid Waterproof -A Great Boot
Originally posted on Merrell
I’ve had my Moab Speed 2 Thermo Mid Waterproof for over a year and they are great. Nice light weight and warm well into the low 20’s. Good price point, especially on sale. Glad the new ones changed the old double buckle to a single one that is easier to tie, highly recommended.

Really good for a runner turned hiker
Originally posted on Merrell
These are a fantastic middle ground between somebody trying to decide between a trail running shoe and a full blown hiker like the Moab 3. I only have 50 miles in them, but I did 26 in the Superstition Wilderness last weekend on the more rugged trails and they were flawless. I did drop a different insole in preemptively to help assist my wide/low volume/high arch feet, but no complaints on fit with those in place (not that I tried hiking in the stock insoles). Great grip. I genuinely can't think of anything I would change. They are not the prettiest, but I didn't buy them to wear around town.
