Men's Merrell Moab 2 Mid GTX Hiking Boots

Dan Bosler: I've taken the Merrell Men's Moab 2 Mid Gtx Hiking Boot on a couple of small hikes to test them out and they have been awesome! This is my third pair of Merrell Moab's and would highly recommend them.

D. C. Blanchard: I bought these to compare with a new pair of Merrell's Moab 3 light hikers. Both were available in the wider width I need and can rarely find. Both are true to size but the Moab 3 might be *slightly* longer. Both feel like you'd expect a light hiker to feel, with a pretty stiff and rugged sole, and both are comfortable on long walks. The tongue on both is a bit stiff and needs to break in; they pressed on the top of my feet and were a bit uncomfortable until they'd been worn a few times. The biggest difference between this and the Moab 3s is in the waterproof lining. The Moab 2s have genuine GoreTex, and the Moab 3s have Merrell's own waterproof fabric. And, after wearing them all day, you'll notice the difference: my feet feel comfortable and dry with the Moab 2s, and noticeably sweaty in the Moab 3s. Over the years, I noticed this in all Merrell's shoes, and now spend the money for genuine GoreTex if that option is available.

ViktorViktor: These shoes have been great for me since it started snowing here in Vancouver. My feet are warm and they don’t get soaked when it rains or when I step on snow. It may get inside the shoe if you bury your feet in deep snow.

Susan B: Purchased for my husband who is very hard on hiking boots. Can't go wrong with Merrill and the price is a huge bonus. Far less than the local shops

Harmon: I have seen a lot of reviews of people saying the MOAB 2 boots are not waterproof. The GTX MOAB 2's have a Gore-Tex membrane sewn into the boot. They are waterproof up to about mid foot before water will seep inside. In other words don't step in deep puddles are deep streams. Non GTX MOAB's are not waterproof. Even if they claim to be. Gore-Tex IMO is the true measure of waterproofness.

I have 3 pairs of these boots sitting here next to me. Two I have worn the Vibram sole down smooth the other is brand new. All 3 are the GTX model. The two worn boots I have wore the sole out before the boot.

With Merrell you get what you pay for. I would not expect these boots to survive a through hike of the AT. People seem to think these boots are a heavy work boots. They are not. We are talking a mass produced boot that is under $200 bucks. There not even real leather. However as a walker or a moderate hiking boot they get the job done.

Take mine for instance, I use mine as a daily work boot in a moderately strenuous work environment. My days at work are spent on an asphalt/concrete lot where I do a lot of walking in all kinds of Florida weather. Hot days...

REV: Handsome, well-constructed boots that feel lighter than their design and appearance would suggest. I only wore them around the house a little so I can’t speak to whether the Gore-Tex works or the soles grip, but am guessing these perform about the way similar Merrill boots have in the past.

The problem for me was the toe box, which is tighter than the rest of the fit. I can still wear them, but there’s no room for anything other than a standard athletic sock, and like most people I like to wear a thicker sock, sometimes with a liner, when I hike in the winter.

I’m returning these, but I thought about keeping them for warmer weather and would consider buying them for that purpose in the future.

Gabriel's Dad: I bought these for a hiking trip, but when my go-to sneakers got destroyed last minute, I grabbed these out of desperation before leaving on vacation. I didn't really have much of a chance to break them in before wearing them for 6 days straight at a family vacation to Disney World. We probably walked at least several miles a day going from one side of the park to the other multiple times trying to catch whatever ride had the least wait times. The boots broke in easily and were immediately comfortable. Despite the waterproof construction, it allowed moisture to escape and my feet were never sweaty despite spending 12 hrs standing and walking in the Florida sun. Good cushioning and cradled my feet well. Despite being new out of the box with minimal break in period, I didn't have any blistering or any hot spots.

I have moderately wider feet than the norm and prefer to wear New Balance and Brooks sneakers as they are more roomy at the toe box. These boots were just as roomy and comfortable as my sneakers, although probably just a hair tighter at the toes. A few weeks ago I wore them on a legit 5 mile hike and they did well on moderate trails with rocks...
