Merrell Men's Moab 2 Vent Hiking Shoe

Merrell makes great shoes. The Vibram soles are durable and provideremarkabletraction. I have a pair that are similar, same type of sole, and they are over 10 years old. They last! Very well made shoes for hiking and urban street walking. The size 10 W(EE) gives you plenty of room. If you size up 1/2 size it's possible you may feel like they're too large unless you wear thicker hiking socks, then it's perfect. Comfortable without cramping your feet. If you wear athletic type running socks, in my opinion, too much room, not snug. My answer to all of this was to place another running shoe insole, or orthotic insert, on top of the Merrell insole, and it was a perfect fit for normal thickness athletic socks. You can have it both ways with socks of different thickness. The overall weight is heavy like a boot, but I think it should be for protection and durability. These are awesome shoes and they look great! If you haven't owned a pair of Merrell shoes, I think you will love this brand and shoe.

Best and most comfortable everyday shoe that I've had. My only issue is with the round shoelace. It keeps coming untied.

It is as good as my first pair of the same shoes. I never understand why people rate shoes as good fit or bad fit. YOUR good fit may not be MY good fit. With that said, my size is 9EEE. This pair fits me great. When trying on fit, always get it slightly loose. On all day long hike, your foot expands and you will need an extra half size. My first pair of the same model is very good. I walked a lot and the bottom is worn out by my VERY HIGH MILEAGE USE. I wish they make the sole even more durable. The upper is still like new after 3-4 years. Not stitching is worn out. No glued parts peeling off. No material become frayed. UPDATE: Still using the first pair. Will continue to use until the bottom is all the way worn thru or the pebbles start to annoy me. Upper is still good. The NEW pair is slightly larger at the toes area. So product tolerance is noticed but only if you are as OCD as I am. I used the new pair on a long trip. Walked 12 miles everyday for 21 days. Every pair of shoes will have a hot spot if you use it long enough or frequent enough. Again normal product variance creates different hot spots even for same model shoes. This is no exception. No big deal. Just expect the rub spot to be somewhere else. I will recommend this product and will buy again. I heard that for hikers, quarter pound on your feet is equivalent to one pound on your shoulder. So, they go light weigh on shoes selection. This shoes is not heavy but certainly not light weight.

I'm an avid walker. My wife and I typically do two outings a day, seven days a week, and we're well into a couple of thousand miles a year. So we're pretty hard on shoes. I can get about 13 months out of a pair of Moabs. At that point, the soles are still in good shape, but the insole and arch support are pretty much shot. I've tried (much) more expensive shoes and they really don't hold up all that much better so, for me, ninety bucks a year isn't a bad price for a solid pair of walkers. The toe box is roomy. Arch support is decent if not amazing. My feet have a slight inflair and these shoes fit pretty much perfectly. My only real complaint is that the insole is a little thin so I can feel the inside structure of the soles. It's not really uncomfortable, but it feels kind of weird. For that, I'll knock off a star.

I have now owned these Merrell's (along with others) for several years. Still in good condition and I have used & abused them quite a bit. Good fit, support and the grip on rocks & trail is superb.

This is my fourth pair of the same sneakers I've had them for years The price is doubled, but they are good looking and tough. Many days I work on concrete all day long. It's nice to have good shoes for something like that.

Great shoes. Like walking on air.

Purchased these for hiking in the summer. The fit is good and they look great.
