Merrell offers comfortable, superbly crafted footwear for all sorts of outdoor adventures. The company was founded in 1981, designing its first pair of hiking boots with the simple yet enormous goal of getting more people outside. Merrell has always believed in the power of the trail: "When you've got air in your lungs and good shoes on your feet, you've got everything you need."
Beyond my expectations - comfortable, attractive (not easy for a hiking boot!) and ready for those hills.

Waste of money.
Bought these because it said that they are waterproof. 5 minutes in a medium rain and both feet are wet. Don't waste your money. Buy a waterproof boot from a company that knows what the word waterproof means. These guys obviously don't

Size runs very small
I have been wearing Moabs for years, but a couple months ago I bought the Moab Mid Waterproof and the size is small. I never had problems in the past with the Moab, Moab Mid, and the Moab Gortex. I wear a size 15 and Moab Mid Waterproof feels like a size 14. I will not get these again.

Very nice boot but not waterproof
The boot is great in every respect except being waterproof. It's not even close. A 5 minute walk through dew covered grass and my socks are wet. I've worn my pair for several years and they've lasted well, but the waterproof feature has been an issue since I purchased them.

Not Built for Rugged Terrain
I’m deeply disappointed with the Merrell Moab 3 Mid Waterproof boots. These are advertised as hiking boots suited for rugged terrain, but after wearing them on a multi-day backpacking trip through the Dolomites, I could not disagree more.
These boots may be fine for softer trails or casual day hikes, but I would absolutely not recommend them for multi-day backpacking or rough, rocky terrain. I could feel practically every rock underneath my feet. By the end of each day, it genuinely felt like I had been walking barefoot over rocks for miles. There was nowhere near enough cushioning, protection, or support for the terrain, especially while carrying a loaded pack and hiking significant mileage each day.
The pain became so severe that I later learned I had a stress fracture in my right foot. While I can’t say the boots alone caused the injury, spending day after day hiking rocky terrain in them certainly did not provide the protection or support I expected from a boot marketed for rugged hiking.
The Dolomites were absolutely incredible, and I had an amazing trip. The one major downside was having to endure immense foot pain every day because I was stuck wearing these boots for the duration of the trek.
For casual trails, they may be perfectly adequate. But if you’re buying these for serious backpacking, high mileage, carrying a pack, or rocky alpine terrain, I would look elsewhere. I trusted these boots for a major trip based on how they were marketed, and I deeply regret that choice.
