Two thumbs up

Even though I bought these more for winter I decided to wear them out furniture shopping to check them out. Two thumbs up in every category. I'm a big Merrell fan and these may be the most comfortable pair to date.

Supportive and comfortable. These boots have really good structure. Laces are great. The high stack soles are really cushy, but also stable.

Perfect fit and lighter weight than leather Moabs. Good traction on tough trails.

I use these boots for work everyday, I typically hike 5-10 miles a day and have absolutely no foot pain at the end of the day. Definitely recommend these boots to anyone that is thinking about buying them

Love/Hate

Use these boots as anti slip and waterproof solution in a “food factory” setting. Love their weight and comfort; unfortunately, the price for Gore Tex waterproofing is not worth it, as my feet get wet when washing the floors with a hose and sprayer. Twice so far, and they are new. Very disappointing!! Anti slip soles are not Merrell best alternative, their work series are better but waterproofing is poor.

Great all around boot with support and comfort

They are very comfortable from the start and run true to size. I have worn them quite a bit, although I have not tested them on the trails yet. They offer lots of support throughout the boot to include ankle support. The traction is superior to a lot of other brands. I would recommend these to anyone looking for this style of boot.

Disappointing

I have owned several Merrell shoes and love the right out of the box comfort. This particular model was disappointing because the sole on the rear is peeling off.

Comfortable but not durable.

I bought these a couple months ago, they are super comfortable and light. But after light wearing on wet west coast trails, the sole is starting to peel off the side of the shoe already, pretty disappointing, for the price I could’ve gotten a different brand with better build quality.

Awesome hiking boot. Broke in after a few small hikes. Hiked Mt Whitney in them and experienced snow and water. They stayed completely dry and great traction. A bonus is they are super light.

Poorly made

I've had these for a year. Bought them for warm weather shooting matches. While super comfortable, they're not built very durable. Soles are delaminating, and stitching is coming apart on both shoes. My 1st hike 9 miles with them, I had stitching coming apart. Definitely not a daily wear shoe. For the money, there's better options out there.

An improved hiking shoe

I bought the Moab Speed 2Mid Gore Tex hiking shoes two years ago. These shoes are an improvement from my original shoes. I wear them when I walk the dog or go on hikes. They are comfortable and have great stability for my feet. I will continue to buy these hiking boots as my current ones start to break down from wear.

A little stiff to start, needs some miles on it for sure. Feels loose compared to some other models of same size. Looks fabulous and feels super sturdy so far.

Painful 😣 to wear
Originally posted on Merrell

I bought these because of how well the shoe version was doing but I have found that the design of these boots is causing me great discomfort where the lace point and fold of the tongue meet. I have used the the Moab 2 tacticals for years with no issues so I didn’t even think twice about buying these. For me I am greatly disappointed and now have a pair of boots that I spent $$$! That I will never wear.

Almost perfect
Originally posted on Merrell

I have the Moab Speed 2 Thermo for winter hiking and they are the best winter hiking boots I've ever had. So, I thought I would give these a try for summer hiking. First, they were so comfortable right out of the box, I didn't need to break them in at all. They are very lite weight and breathable. They are very good, but could be better. The Thermo version have 6mm lugs, these only have 4mm lugs, 6mm would be better. As i mentioned they are very comfortable and have outstanding cushion and shock absorption. But, I am a heavier individual and after only three short 4 mile hikes, I can already start to feel the stones under my feet. Double the cushioning and give them 6mm lugs and these will be perfect!

Would like to love this Hiking Shoe
Originally posted on Merrell

I bought the Hiking Boot for a trip to Peru and a 7 day hike of around 4-8 miles of moderate hiking a day. I bought them 2 weeks before the trip and wore them around the house and general day walking of less than 3 hrs a day. The shoes felt fantastic on and broke in really easy. The problem came on the trip. 4 days into the hike I noticed the toe flap starting to separate and a gap forming between the 2 molds on the arch side of the shoe. After the complete trip, I noticed the Arch of both shoes have collapsed. I am 6'0 and about 230lbs, and flat footed so I am hard on arches either way. The problem is, this is a 2-3 week old shoe with little mileage compared to my other hikers. I have attached pictures. Again, the shoes were comfortable, broke in nicely and the waterproofing worked fine. They are light and I found them breathable but the construction was a severe disappointment at this price range. I am hoping Merrell will help with this problem
