I have had two pairs of this brand, the first was the low
cut Moab and the second the mid height, Gore Tex Moab. Both
were excellent shoes in terms of comfort and durability.
Both were wide width to accommodate my needs. I let myself
buy two other brands of shoes which seemed wide enough and
comfortable enough, but after a few months, I realized I had
made a mistake. So I have gone back to Merrell for my
outdoor shoes, and unless there is some dramatic change in
the quality or comfort, there will be Nothing But Merrell
for me from here on out.

3rd pair of Men's Moab and haven't found a better all around
shoe for the price. I have a bad back and walk 4 miles a day
on a mix of pavement, gravel and grass. These shoes offer
the best support and traction. They are as comfortable as a
tennis shoes, but hold up 100% better. I'd not hesitate to
recommend if you want a good, durable shoe for a very
reasonable price.

This Moab is a very comfortable, stable and cushioning shoe.
But, in these dog days we're having with climate change, the
Moab Ventilators are as much ventilators as a snowflake is a
blizzard. And they still can't get their sizing
standardized. If other articles of clothing were as
arbitrary in their sizing as these, ordering online
would be a complete nightmare. Order a half-size larger than
normal on these. If you want ventilation, Waterpro Manistee
is a ventilated shoe. And though not as cushioning as the
Moab, it's a decent and versatile summer shoe that will keep
your feet cool on the hottest days.

I bought these shoes as casual, everyday shoes instead of
wearing running shoes all the time. I did not buy them for
hiking (I use over the ankle boots for support), so I cannot
comment on its hiking capabilities, but the tread looks
capable. Overall, they are comfortable shoes. They feel very
lightweight and have good venting. They are a little warmer
than running shoes for comparison. The only negatives so far
is that if I am standing for a long time in one place, the
heel cushioning does not feel very good, however, I have no
problems while moving. The second one is a very minor item
and is appearance related, but the tongue seems on the
large, puffy side on the top. It looks like you could cut it
off by 1/2" and still be functional.

I've been buying Merrell footwear 6 years. The very
first product I bought from them was the Sawtooth boots
which just this year are finally worn down. After those
boots, I bought the Jungle Moc for everyday wear in 2008.
Those just wore out this year as well. They were great shoes
and very comfortable. Now I just bought the Moab Ventilator
and I love them. They are very comfortable and have great
traction. The first night I had them, it snow and then we
had freezing rain. These gave me great traction in the snow
and ice when taking out the trash. There's not break in
period. From now on it's them or nothing. I can't wait to go
hiking in these.

One of the more comfortable pair of shoes I have placed on
my feet in a long while. The arch support is superb and the
stability of the shoe is impeccable; they are not the most
attractive shoe on the market but I will trade the
unattractiveness of the shoes for the comfort any day. I
would recommend these 'skids' for anyone who wants to feel
like they are walking on clouds. I use them daily and do not
have that tired foot feeling at the end of the day anymore.

I purchased this shoe because my orthopedic Doctor
recommended them because I have a flat foot. I wear
orthotics and also needed a little more toe room to avoid
constant pain in both feet. This shoe was wonderful, I
walked all day with no pain at all. I look forward to buying
more of a sneaker in the future ,but this is a must buy if
your have problems with your feet and need a good stable all
around shoe that is orthotic friendly. |
