I recently purchased a pair of Moab 3 Mid GORE-TEX® boots for a trip to the UK, France, Belgium and Germany. Anyone that has travel Europe extensively knows the roadways and walkways are frequently cobble stone based or other materials that make walking somewhat difficult and hazardous at times. I had about two weeks of everyday wear to break them in prior to my departure so I was a bit concerned that I might experience discomfort from wearing a new boot for the 28 day trip. After weeks of walking tours, trail hiking in some rainy conditions I am pleased to report that they were the most comfortable boots that I have ever owned. The appearance of the boot was like new after travelling through some difficult and wet weather.

I used a small bristle bush to scuff off the dirt and grime and the a cloth to remove the remaining residue. I fully expected to have a blister or two and I did not have a single blister through the tri[p. This is a very comfortable and durable boot and should be on your list of considerations.

Wore these boots on a Colorado bear hunt in the Sangre De Christo wilderness. Hiked in snow, through a creek or two, in the mud, and in the dirt. Very happy with them. My only hesitation to giving 5 stars is that I do not like the way they feel when travelling in the truck. I took them off and wore some of those rubber slippers everyone is so excited about for the ride. But the boots worked well in the environment where they are designed to be worn

Was hoping to make these my everyday hiking and working boots, but everytime i put them on I keep thinking about the time that I would take them off in the end of the day. The arch is short and is not supporting the foot. The top of the boot is rubbing against ankles. Driving the car in these is very unpleasant. I am a lifetime Ecco boots and sneakers owner, always had an amazing experience with the show fit, size and experience. Just needed a rugged everyday boot with GTX protection. I may have got simply unlucky this time.

I’m really impressed with the new Moab’s. I had an old pair for the last ten years and needed to update. To start with the entry and exit is so easy. Always a struggle with mid and high boots, but these are so easy and natural.The greatest thing about the Moab’s is that they are so comfortable to wear all day and yet great for hiking. I finally got in a rocky hike last week. I found the new Moab’s to be a big improvement over the old ones. The soles were supportive, comfortable and I didn’t feel the rocks through them like my old ones. Also great traction uphill and down with no slipping. Very confident all around.Very happy I got these and would give a high recommendation to anyone.
Bought the Moab 3 after owning 5 pairs of the Moab 2 over the past several years. Very disappointed.Well a bit lighter, the changes to the overall shoe structure are negative.The toe box rubber been substantially reduced. The lateral stiffness was also reduced by eliminating the side support bars making them feel more like an old Converse Allstar than a hiking shoe. I would not buy another pair or recommend them for trail hiking.
I picked up 2 pairs of the Moab 3 Mid, one with Gore-Tex and one without. I had bought a cheaper pair of Merrell's at a discount store years ago and wasn't impressed, but my coworkers swore by the Moab and I decided to give them a try. So glad I did. These were purchased primarily for work, where work is mountain maintenance - dirt trails, erosion ditches, single-track courses, water run-off systems, rocky scrambles - I get through it all in a day. I get a lot of all-weather exposure, too; and sometimes it feels like I see all four seasons in 24 hours. But I'm putting in miles on pavement, mountainside, and at the office for the last few weeks and man, I love these boots. The pair with Gore-Tex are noticeably heavier in hand, but once they are laced up on my feet ... MoreI picked up 2 pairs of the Moab 3 Mid, one with Gore-Tex and one without.

The pair with Gore-Tex are noticeably heavier in hand, but once they are laced up on my feet they don't feel heavy at all. Although I bought the two pair so that I could have hot day and wet day options, more often than not I just end up taking the waterproof ones out on the hill with me. It's so nice to not even have to think about soggy feet and where I'm stepping. I would recommend some upgraded insoles, but the boot itself is just an excellent piece of equipment, and I'm already thinking I will buy them again.Plus they're great-looking. I might have to grab the low-top for excursions into urban settings.
Lifelong wearer of Chameleons and thought I would give these a try. Comfortable out of the box, true to size and look good, but every step I take is accompanied by a noticeable "Thwup" sound coming from the front of the left shoe. The sound seems to come from the fabric at the top of the toe box springing back into shape after being bent when taking a step. I disproved the theory if the sound coming from the insoles by powdering, and then replacing them with a gel insole, but the sound remains. If you bend the shoe by hand, you can hear it from the toe box. My hope is that it will go away after time, but another review I saw said that they still got the sound after a couple of months of wear. It may be okay on the trail, but in a store I announce I am coming to ... MoreLifelong wearer of Chameleons and thought I would give these a try.

Still the best hiking shoes I've tried. Switched to another brand last year and was completely let down. There's really no reason not to go with these. I got 1/2 a size up from my normal shoe size and they're perfect with thick hiking socks but also work fine with regular socks. No sliding issues so far and the extra half size always seems to help with decline damage on your nails. I've put at least 40 miles into them so far with no discomfort whatsoever. Confident I'll continue to buy these in the future.
This is my 3rd paid of Merrell mid-hiking boots. I currently have 2 pair of Moab 2 mid boots, waterproof and non-waterproof, and I alternate wearing them depending on the weather and time of year. I purchased the Merrell Moab 3 Mid Gor-Tex for better waterproofing. While the construction of the boot is excellent, I find that the boot length is slightly smaller than the Moab 2. The bigger issue I have found is the comfort of this boot. My other Merrells were comfortable out of the box. I can and do wear them all day with any issues, not so with the Moab 3. I have been breaking them in over the past few weeks and they are still somewhat uncomfortable. The Moab 3 has a firm foot bed and the liner material is hard and uncomfortable which I think is the issue. I've ... MoreThis is my 3rd paid of Merrell mid-hiking boots.

The Moab 3 has a firm foot bed and the liner material is hard and uncomfortable which I think is the issue. I've compared the 2 liners and found that the liners in the Moab 2 provide more cushioning than the Moab 3 liners. I think Merrell boots are an excellent product in general, I am somewhat disappointed with the Moab 3.
I own several Merrell products and I’m always happy with the value and quality. However these shoes seem to be an exception. I broke them in for a few weeks then took them on a several day long hiking trip. After the trip i had the WORST blisters I have ever had. I’ve been hiking my whole life with many different boots and I’ve never experienced anything like this. I sadly would not recommend these boots for longer hikes. They seemed comfy enough for daily use but I would not rely on these for a hike again.
