Merrell Women's Moab 2 WTPF Hiking Shoe

I bought these for my sister. She works at a tree farm/nursery and her feet are wet and dirty all day long. After another major brand began failing her after only a month I suggested these. She says her feet are dry and the shoes are comfortable. This is her new brand.

I am a true size 7. This hiking shoe is a tight size 7 with summer socks. If you use any kind of sock with substance, order the 7.5. Other than that, great shoe!

These shoes are great to wear and helped me survive 7+ days in Europe. Those whom have traveled to Europe know how uneven the grounds and road can be and how quickly the weather can change. These shoes were my go-to and all I wore since they were so versatile. So I did A LOT of walking in them. Hours and hours on end. Just like any other shoe, it takes some time to break in but once they are, they're pretty comfortable, stay secure, and breathable overall. They have survived all types of uneven grounds, rocky roads, gravel roads, dirt roads on a farm, walking in a city, rainy weather, cold weather, hot and humid weather, bus rides, you name it. Never had any issue and the drizzle mint is a good color. Not clunky or bulky either which is a bonus. And they were easy to pack in my travel cube shoe bag. The picture shown is from Skellig Michael in ireland where you're hiking up over 600+ uneven stairs up a mountain in the middle of nowhere but surrounded by the Atlantic ocean. You could easily fall off of the cliff if you weren't paying attention. These shoes helped me stay balanced and comfy during this hike. 10/10

I bought these for a trip where there’ll be different terrain. I wanted to make sure that my feet will be comfortable. I need higher arch support and heel support due to bone spurs & plantar fasciitis. I tested these on regular walks with and without my arch support. I find that these are a bit awkward in the arch, but not overly uncomfortable. They’re supposed to be water resistant so that’s why I bought this pair. They do seem to grip but I’ve yet to test in muddy/ rainy environment. I’m hoping they’re not too hot. I think they need to be worn in a little since they feel a little stiff. For reference I use size 9-10 US size depending on brand and I recommend a W if you don’t have narrow feet for a comfortable toe box. They feel sturdy and good quality and I bought the gray with turquoise detail since they were on sale but are a nice medium gray color.

I own a pair of these that are high top. I decided I wanted a regular height pair for hiking on a trip we are planning. I hoped Merrell would have some waterproof ones and they do! I normally wear a 9W and these are a perfect fit. I've been wearing them on errands to break them in, but the truth is they are so comfortable I don't really think this is necessary. I'm surprised by how light weight they are for hiking shoes. My knees appreciate that. And if my experience with the boots holds true, I know these will hold up well to lots of use.

These replaced my worn-out Merrills. They are just as comfortable as the worn-out ones. On sightseeing vacations of mountains, I wear them all day long. At home I wear them whenever rain is predicted.

TL;DR: The drizzle/mint color combo is very attractive, and the shoes seemed like they would be very durable and supportive. But none of the three sizes I tried fit my feet comfortably. The whole story: I'll readily admit that I have wide feet. I've been wearing Skechers size 8 wide in a variety of their styles over the last ten years, but I wanted something more sturdy for hiking. I thought I'd give these Merrells a try because they're pretty highly rated. Based on the reviews, I ordered these in both an 8 wide and an 8.5 wide. The 8 wide were so small that I could barely get my foot inside them. I was able to get my feet inside the 8.5 wide more easily, but they were still tight enough that I knew I wouldn't be able to wear them for long lengths of time or long distances. I didn't want to give up, so I decided to try a size 9 wide too. Those fit the best across the widest part of my feet, but they were too long, they slipped on my heels, and the arch support hit my right foot in an odd place that was uncomfortable. So, sadly, I have to return all three pairs.

Great hiking shoe!
