The Merrell Moab 2 Mid WP scored highly across many of our testing metrics due to their simple, supportive, and comfortable design, available at an affordable price. The fit is suitable for a wide range of foot shapes, however, it particularly favors those with a wider foot, offering a well-padded ankle and tongue which increase overall comfort. The air-cushioned heel made up for the support that the lower ankle shaft denied, and the design provides extra support for the arch of the foot. 
While the Moab 2 Mid is one of the heaviest boots we tested, they still feel light underfoot. The real caveats worth mentioning are the lack of traction &mdash; even with 5mm lug depths, we weren't confident enough to trust our feet on all types of terrain. We also noticed that the lacing system is secured with mesh, which we imagine would wear out over time, though we had no issues in our testing period. At the end of the day, this is an affordable option for those new to hiking and who aren't primarily focused on high performance.  

Switchback Travel

For day hikers and lightweight backpackers who stick mostly to maintained trails, our top value pick is the Merrell Moab 2. What makes this boot so popular is its lightweight and comfortable feel at such a reasonable price. For $145, you get good cushioning underfoot, trusty Vibram outsoles, and a waterproof membrane (an upgraded Gore-Tex model is available for $165). The Moab was updated to the "2" a few years ago, but they didn't fuss much with the proven design. Notable changes included a new insole with a higher arch, improved cushioning under the heel, and a more waterproof and durable suede upper.

What are the downsides of the Moab 2 Mid WP? The boot is lacking in support compared to some of the pricier models on this list for carrying a heavy load or scrambling on rocky or rough trails. Second, it isn't quite as durable or long-lasting as some of the pricier models on this list. The Moab is a well-built hiking boot overall, but the lack of premium materials means that it may eventually need to be replaced a little sooner than we would prefer. But at a significant discount from other top boots on this list, the Moab offers the right mix of comfort and performance for many day hikers and weekend adventures. Note: Merrell released the updated “3” this spring (featuring a bit more support underfoot, a grippier midsole, and more recycled materials), but the 2 is still widely available at the time of writing...

The Merrell Moab 3 Mid WP received high marks across many of our testing metrics due to their simple, supportive, and comfortable design and affordable price. The fit is suitable for a wide range of foot shapes &#40;though it particularly favors those with a broader foot&#41; and offers a well-padded ankle and tongue to increase comfort overall. The air-cushioned heel helps make up for the support that the lower ankle shaft lacks, and the EVA midsole, along with contoured insoles, provides extra support for the arch. 
While the Moab 3 Mid is one of the heavier boots we tested, it still feels light underfoot. Our testers are also happy to report that the latest version of the Moab has improved Vibram TC5+ traction with 5mm lugs, so we felt more confident trusting our feet even when moving over polished boulders. The lacing system is still secured with mesh, which we imagine could wear out over time, though we had no issues during our testing period. At the end of the day, this improved update is an affordable option for those new to hiking and who aren't primarily focused on top-of-the-line performance.

Best Hiking Boots for Women 2022 - GearLab

I developed plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis in the last year and have had to find new shoes with arch support and cushioning. These boots are perfect right out of the box! I struggle to find shoes that are comfortable and don’t cause additional foot pain. You can feel the arch support as soon as you put them on. I’ve worn them all day and still no foot pain the next morning

Comfortable Boots

I love the fit. I felt like I could hike in them the moment I put them on. Only issue is I feel like the arch support is pretty minimal so we'll see how my foot does on a longer hike. I also need to purchase an insert for it because these shoes are very hard inside

Fits, but doesn't have much arch support or cushion.

 But they were used for over a before I’m starting to detect a little less give in the sole, and a bit more hardness in the ride. This is a minor issue, one that can easily remedied by me (note to self: buy new insoles next week). Pricing I think you’ll agree that, so far, these boots get a huge thumbs up. I need the right and you’re right, they do

 If you’re after a fair-weather boot that stacks up pretty well when the weather turns wet this is the option for you. This is currently my favourite all-round boot, but the Merrell Accentor (which we reviewed) is a very close second. I’m a fickle hiker and no doubt, at some point I’ll switch my allegiance. Thanks for dropping by

 If you’re going on more technical routes and to mountainous destinations, you might want to consider a heavier boot with a thicker sole. Feeling hardy? Then this is the option for you. If you’re after a fair-weather boot that stacks up pretty well when the weather turns wet this is the option for you. This is currently my favourite all-round boot, but the Merrell Accentor (which we reviewed) is a very close second

 Simple and effective lacing system The Merrell Moab 2 GTX boots have extra padding and support around the ankles. The footbed is fitted with a thick latex like insert that absorbs a lot of the shock we experience when walking. I use my Moab 2 GTX is for a mix of hiking and speed marching, which involves quite a lot of running or jogging in my boots. The cushioning in the soul is truly fantastic it’s almost like wearing a pair of running trainers or shoes

Merrell Moab 2 Review: The Ultimate Beginner's Hiking Boot? - TrekSumo

 Now i get a lot of heat for wearing boots out on trail, especially these boots, but i think there's a misconception with why these boots aren't as big of a deal as or why. The issues that people give the heat for with these boots is not as big of a deal as they like to make it out to be um, and i'm going to tell you what those things are just to hopefully clarify for the people that have been asking Me and talking to me about it and the people in the future who are going to ask me about it and for you and if people are asking you these same things so when it comes to the merrell moab to or the moab to like this is The mid-rise they also have just a regular boot i'll show you or trail runner i'll put a picture up of that. But when it comes to this, you have three different options: either gore-tex you have the waterproof and you have vent now you can tell, because it has merrell puts a little tag on right here. You can see that if it'll focus on it, what focus yeah

 I said, the tape seams and i feel like that - just prolongs the dryness of my feet. Without hindering the drying out, process like a pair of gore-tex would another reason: i've chosen the merrell moab um, you know it's the mother of all boot, i mean literally it's in the title mother of all boots. Now, what's great about the merrell moab is not only like, i said the features of you know whether you have the option of vent dry or you know the gore-tex which i'm not a big fan of, but um they have vibram soles. Now the vibram sole is fantastic

 Now there is a difference. Trail runners are a little lighter. Typically, they don't have like boots. Are a lot more heavy duty? They are heavier like i said i choose boots over trail runners, just for mainly for the ankle support, and i do like knowing that my foot is in a nice safely contained durable hardcore unit around my foot

Merrell Moab Hiking Boots | Gear Review

 Or go up a half size from what you typically wear. I typically wear an 8, and half size up from that is perfect for me. My shoes were an 8.5 and so are these and the fit is perfect

 HOWEVER, in my running shoes (Hoka) and hiking shoes, I am an 8.5. You want to give your foot some room to swell, and move around a bit (aka, not be jammed in there). Go up 1 size from your TRUE foot size, and you’ll be golden

I haven’t hiked in these yet, but I formerly used the Moab SHOE by Merrell, so I know they produce e a quality product that will last you years. My feet have NEVER hurt after a hike. When my trusty shoes wore out, I knew I wanted to order the boot version next for the ankle support and let me tell you: my ankles are so cozy in these boots! I mainly wanted to elaborate on the sizing. I am a TRUE 7

Quality shoes!!! Perfect fit & supportive.

 The higher ankle support, stable soles, the arch support and the flexibility of the material combine to make it my favorite yardwork, walking and hiking boot.

Reliable support and performance

Budget Pick

Wirecutter

For hikers who prefer the fit of trail running shoes, the Ultra Raptor II offers solid underfoot support without added weight. Plus, it’s easier to walk (and drive) to the trailhead in these boots than in our other picks.

The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX is an exceptional lightweight hiking boot that offers superior comfort, breathable Gore-tex protection from the elements, and a durable and aggressive lug pattern that will keep you sure-footed when covering uneven terrain. While our testers experienced comfort directly out of the box, we recommend sizing up about a half size in these boots as they run a bit on the small side. They are also available for order in a wide option for a more customized fit. 
Besides impressive comfort, the Ultra Raptor also offers a 5-inch shaft and comfort collar that surround the ankle and a durable lacing system that creates stability while in motion. The traction was on par with the best hiking boots that we tested, featuring Frixion XF 2.0 rubber outsoles with an Impact Brake System and Trail Bite heels, allowing for excellent traction and control in various mountain landscapes. Did we mention this high-performing hiker is available at a reasonable price? This boot is an all-around champ.

The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX is a rough and ready trail running shoe that has been beefed to be one of the best all-terrain machines out there. With the comfort of a shoe and the support and traction of a boot, the Ultra Raptor punches well above its weight class. This is the hiking boot for you if you want the most capable cross-country footwear while also keeping weight down and prioritizing on-trail walking comfort &mdash; something that similarly capable, heavier-weight models don't always do a good job at.
Our main gripe with the Ultra Raptor II Mid is the sizing: we had to reorder these boots in a half size larger than our normal street shoe size to find the right fit. But, given that La Sportiva also offers this boot in a wide version, prospective users should be able to get the right fit armed with that knowledge.

 so there are options. There are a lot of good good, really good options. Um, out there in that price range. It really depends on your fit, on your personal preference and this to me is definitely in the in the top three, not number one, but in the top three

 They meet the criterias just perfectly. They're mid-sized they're waterproof. They're they fit excellent. They're extremely comfortable

 So just so we clear. So let's start from uh, the very first factor that contributes to the comfort level, of course, is the weight. And uh, this is size 10. And the size 10 is, let's see, visible

 Keep that in mind. Um, usually I recommend getting half a size bigger for your boots so that you have a little bit of extra space here at the front. With these, I would recommend going probably the whole size. The whole size

 We've got a little more information here. This was, um, called Switchback Travel and they gave a review on it about what they liked about them. Competitively light at just over two pounds, with an agile trail runner-like feel to match, that's the cool thing. They're lightweight and if you had to pick up and run in them, sounds like you could do so

 excited about them There they are again them things are sharp looking dude. hey hey getting mountain ready baby. do some step up and step downs on the truck here baby. Gonna hit a few forward lunges going uphill

 I needed a comfortable, durable boot that provided good traction for my Mount Whitney hike. These boots formed really well to my foot. They were comfortable and provided a lot of support. I hiked over ice, mud, dirt, steep slopes and even in water and over slippery rocks

La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Boot Review!

Bought these as an early season hunting boot for the CO mountains. 55 miles in 5 days on Rocky Mountain terrain. Boots held up very well and I did not have any hot spots or soreness. Almost no break in period

 Boots held up very well and I did not have any hot spots or soreness. Almost no break in period. Stepped through marshes and my feet stayed dry as well so the waterproofing liner held up well (gore-tex is the best). Feet were warm at dawn break and sundown with lightweight wool socks so I’d say these boots are good for temperatures as low as 25 if you’re moving and 35 if you’re sitting

Amazing lightweight boot. Be careful with sizing.

 Now let's look at some of the stats on the Ultra Raptor 2 Mid Gtx. We start with the drop where we have 12 millimeters and we can also talk about the overall height of the midsole as well. So at the front it's 16 millimeters and moving to the back it's 28 millimeters so the difference between those two numbers gives you the drop of 12 millimeters. The leg height is already mentioned is 4

 We have Black Topaz and we have Carbon Topics and Carbon Topaz is the color which comes in the two width options, both the regular and the white option. So thanks very much for your time and attention. I really wish you great journeys and many happy times on the trails! [Music] So you.
