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

Switchback Travel | Merrell Moab 2 Mid Hiking Boot Review

Budget Pick

The Scarpa Zodiac Plus GTX is a pared-down mountain boot, making it an optimal choice for off-trail travel, mountain scrambling, and carrying heavy loads. It has excellent stability, giving you the confidence to edge or smear up the steepest terrain you might encounter on a challenging cross-country hike. The Vibram sole is sticky while staying durable, and the full-grain leather upper will take a lot of abuse before it starts showing signs of wear.
That said, this boot's rigid midsole knocks some points off of its comfort score. It has a rockered sole, which will make it walk better than the average mountain boot, but it will not be as soft a ride as can be found in less stiff boots. You should check this out if you are into off-trail travel, carrying overnight packs, and scrambling up 3rd and 4th-class terrain.

SCARPA North America

 It feels very, very nice. There is some padding here in the shaft as well, overall, pretty good. However, i wish there was a little bit of that same padding here at the very front of the toe box from the inside, because this is nicely reinforced. I do love the protection, but if you are getting them in not the right size or if you're not wearing thick enough socks to kind of give you a little bit of cushioning, this will fatigue

 I kind of started talking about the temperature um. These are really not winter boots, so there is no point for me to talk about. You know them being in the cold temperatures i mean they are waterproof, so you can definitely use them in the snow, um, very, very good, waterproofing and very good outsole for stuff. Like that i mean, if you implement some insulated socks, you can probably get away with some colder temperatures, but i test them in hot temperatures, because they're not insulated, because they're not winter boots and in the hot temperatures they're very nice and breathable i mean gore-tex membrane - Does a very, very good job of providing that breathability so overall, again very nicely balanced overall, let's move on to the criteria number six sizing

 Um. The locking right here would be just beautiful if you guys could implement that a little bit better lacking would be fantastic, some ridges on the outsole to make it absolute, perfect and uh. I think i think that would be just uh. That'S it that's it that would just just do it do it for me overall um

 Keep that in mind. But overall i think scarpa did a great job whenever it comes to the overall weight of the boot. Now, let's talk about the other thing that kind of contributes to the comfort level. It'S the inner sole
