Moab’s still a solid option
I have been wearing Moab’s for years and happily the latest model is as good as the old ones. Comfortable fit with a bit of extra room in the toes. I have in the past and will likely with this pair put in a better quality insole but it is not really necessary. New treads have some great traction as well.

Forgot all about my feet!
I bought these to take on a 2 week trip to Scotland, where it seems there would be endless walking. We walked over cobblestones, up and down thousands of stone stairs, on muddy trails, slick rocks, in the rain and sun and I never once thought about my feet! My joints weren't always happy but my feet were great! My feet are wide so the wide toe bed really made that endless walking a breeze. I was afraid the white pig suede would not be water proof and would get dirty quickly. Not the case! We never found ourselves walking through water, but puddles weren't a problem. And I think I took a damp cloth to them once for a particularly black spot of mud. We didn't climb any mountains, so I can't speak to how they would do there. But I can say I am thrilled with how these shoes performed, everywhere else!

Best Hiking Shoe
This is my third pair of Moab 3s, they’ve hiked Portugal, Spain, Scotland, and England! Always comfortable, never a blister, very short break-in period.

Excellent fit and comfort
These are my new all around go to’s for everyday wear. I wear an 11.5 and got these in 12. Perfect with room for toe wiggle and the heel locks in nicely.
I only wear boots for hiking and backpacking for the added ankle support but I wear these everywhere else including the driving range.

Most Comfortable
The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I wish I would have went with a 14 (my normal size) and ordered a 15, after trying on a 14. The 14 seemed tight, but the 15 is way to big.
