MVP On My Iceland Packing List 🥾
❤️ What I Loved: These boots deserve every bit of hype they get. After seeing the Merrell Moab 3s recommended over and over, I finally gave in and bought them for a summer trip to Iceland. Best decision ever. We hiked constantly—waterfalls, streams, rocky trails, glaciers, and enough slippery boulders to make me question my life choices. Meanwhile, my feet? Living their best life. No blisters. No soreness. No complaints. Not once did I finish a hike thinking, “I can’t wait to take these boots off.” In fact, they were so comfortable that they became my everyday shoes for the entire trip. The waterproofing is the real deal. We hiked through streams and behind waterfalls, and my feet stayed completely dry. While other people were dealing with wet socks and regret, I was happily stomping around without a care in the world. And the grip? Incredible. There were moments on slick rocks where I genuinely felt these boots earned their paycheck. The traction gave me so much confidence on terrain that could have easily turned into a blooper reel. 💡 Good to Know Listen to the reviews and size up half a size. I normally hate sizing up, but it was exactly the right call. With the extra room, I could comfortably wear one pair of wool socks and still have space for a second pair when temperatures dropped. Even with two pairs, my feet stayed comfortable and secure. Also, while these boots aren’t the cheapest option, they’re a great example of “buy once, cry once.” My cousin brought a less expensive pair of boots that looked almost identical. By the end of the trip, she had wet feet, cold feet, and sore feet. I had none of those problems. ✅ Would I Buy It Again? Without a second thought. These were the only shoes I brought to Iceland, and they handled everything from glacier hikes to sightseeing days. Comfortable, waterproof, warm, supportive, and cute enough to wear with every outfit I packed. If you’re debating whether they’re worth the money, consider this your sign. Stop reading reviews and add them to your cart. 😉🥾🇮🇸

comfortable, great fit
Love these boots! I bought them because they were the "good value" hiking boot recommendation by Wirecutter. Comfortable from the first day I put them on, sturdy and supportive as I hiked in the Smoky Mountains, and they made excellent winter hiking boots. I like these so much that I bought the lower-cut variety for summer hiking.

Was going to return it, but it grew on me.
Hi, my Keen Targhee 2 hiking boots got snagged and I needed a replacement. I wanted a sturdy boot with good support. I needed less sturdiness, but a lot of support and impact absorption, as I had injured my ankle and needed some "give" and not something so snug. I heard these Merrills were super popular and with less sturdiness and ankle support, exactly what I needed at this time, so gave the Merrills a try. I bought granite as everything else sold out in my size (8 wide) around the holidays. When I first looked at the Color granite, it looked "boring sneakers" (especially with the Blue jeans I wear) and not my typical Brown ones that just screamed "hiking boots" with more flash...what I usually wear. These Granite colored ones looked like very low key sneakers, the other Merrill Colors scream more of typical hiking boot, most especially the Brown ones like "Bungee cord" or "Braken Purple". anyway, I was going to need these boots, most especially to wear on my other uninjured foot to provide some rock solid support and stability. What really pleased me was unlike the Keens, these were so much lighter, almost like I was wearing nothing at all. They are waterproof, and really worked out when I was watering the plants on the patio with a leaky water hose. Because they provided the support, grip (the special Verbam sole did not slip at all anywhere!!), were very lightweight, easy on my overworked foot, and I had to wear them everywhere I walked, I appreciated that the Colors were more muted. So, it worked out well. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased. These are great everyday "shoes" (hiking boots with give on the ankle, that looked like GREAT SHOES with no slippage, great absorption of Impact, and lots of stability), I appreciated being able to wear them everywhere and it provided all the stability, lightweight, waterproof, non-slippage, and Impact absorption. I needed for my overworked...one working foot, as my other foot healed in a cast. I felt no hesistation using these with crutches all the time. After over a month of using the boot so much, it still feels as good as day one. This speaks to the quality of craftmanship. Incredible. Mind you, I never used these boots on the trail. I'm looking forward to in hopefully a few weeks. I will probably walk on a flat trail with minimal rocks, and I'm sure these will work out and be perfectly fine. Thank you Merrill for such fine footwear.

The GOAT of Hiking Boots
This is the best hiking boot ever. They are so comfortable and there is a lot of cushions exactly where you need. The traction is very impressive, traversing rocks, flat, and sandy trails. I felt very stable. Haven't had the opportunity to test the waterproof, but I'm not worried, as the boot has already exceeded my expectations. My foot easily slid in, and I ordered my normal size 8.5. However, I agree with other reviewers that if you want to wear thick socks you should order half size up as the fit is snug. I almost purchased a different pair, but I am so glad I landed on this and very satisfied with my decision.

COMFORT AND GOOD LOOKING
Exactly as described in looks, fit and comfort; light weight with lots of support. I have had multiple surgeries on my foot and expect these to be just what I need.

Its not for me - high top boots
I was really excited to purchase my first pair of hiking boots, especially after being recommended this brand and model. When they arrived, everything seemed perfect—comfortable fit, great design, and they felt solid on my first hike. That initial outing went smoothly with no issues at all. However, things changed on the second day. About four miles into the hike, I started experiencing sharp pain where the top of the boot rubbed against the bone just above my ankle. It became extremely uncomfortable, but I was too far in to turn back. I had no choice but to push through the pain for the remainder of the hike, which lasted nearly four hours. Still hopeful, I decided to give the boots another try the next day on a 6.5-mile hike. Unfortunately, the same issue occurred, and by the end, I was practically dragging my leg back to the car. I even tried adding an extra sock for cushioning, but it didn’t help and made things worse. To be clear, the boots themselves are well-made and initially felt very comfortable. But the pressure on that specific part of my ankle has made them unwearable for me. I don’t know if returns are possible after use, but I can’t wear these boots again. I’m really disappointed, as I had high hopes for them.

Great Shoes
Very happy with purchase. I have the Moab 3 shoe also but now I wanted the mid for ankle protection. It gives good support but comfortable as the other Moab 3 shoe does. I love the waterproof finish. I always get a half size larger but the regular width was fine as long as I didn’t wear heavy socks. Great shoes

The brindle color is lighter irl which is what i was banking on, so cute. Im normally a 7.5 but i have slighter wider feet so i ordered a half size up (8) after reading the comments. Fit perfectly, so comfy. Not heavy or super hot at all. Im lake tahoe ready, hope these last me the whole summer😈

In diesem Wanderstiefel läuft es sich fast wie von selbst! Gute Passform, Platz im Vorfußbereich und Stabilität für die Knöchel ohne einzuengen.

Returned
Really liked the look of these! Disappointed they were uncomfortable. I have narrow feet and they were squeezing my pinky toe. The bed was just awkward as well. Returned them.

Excelentes, son los hechos en Vietnam
Con el venderlo Has Brands LLC, tardaron un poco en llegar. fue después de la fecha indicada pero hay que tener en cuenta desde donde los mandan. creo esta vez fue desde New York y yo me ubico en una ciudad fronteriza de México. Están muy hermosos y súper cómodos, soy talla 5 mx y me quedaron muy bien los 25 , tal cual(mi pie el delgado-normal) creo si eres de pie ancho hay que pedir una talla más. Llegaron sin caja, fue lo único malo. Actualización. Hoy realicé senderismo y el lugar en donde vivo es una ciudad desértica y mis pies estaban asándose. Son perfectas porque me dieron buena tracción, estabilidad, y son súper cómodas pero se calientan demasiado, creo estas las usaré en momentos específicos , por ejemplo cuando no esté tan expuesta al sol, etc.

order shoes at least a month in advance to accommodate for delays.
I had ordered Merrel Moab 3 shoes on 11 march, 2025 in good faith, they were supposed to be delivered on 21 march, 2025. I needed them for a trek for which I left on 24, march 2025. The shoes were delivered on 28 march, 2025, after I had left. Until I left there was no communication from the Seller regarding a delivery date. So now I don't need these shoes and would like to return them and I had been given a ten day window in which these shoes could be returned. This window of return should have been open until yesterday 7 april, 2025. But when I opened the return window yesterday on 7 april, 2025, it said that the time to return expired on 28 march, 2025 which was the day of delivery. In any case I was on a trek at that time. Anyway I couldn't have returned them earlier as I was in Arunachal Pradesh and not within telephonic or mobile range. I only reached home on the morning of 6 april, 2025. If you look at my earlier telephone records you will see that I requested several times that the shoes be delivered by the 23rd. But the seller refused to confirm any delivery dates. Now I have no use for these expensive shoes. Therefore it is not my fault that they were sent too late! And I was trying to return them in the ten day return window period which was specified by them. They never mentioned anywhere that the shoes had to be returned the very same day. Also please note that the shes were not sent in a box but in a plastic bag. It seems a bit unfair to send such expensive shoes so shabbily. the insole of the right shoe is damaged slightly. I have been wearing Merrel shoes for years and will continue to wear them but will think twice about buying from this seller. Unfortunately I am feeling very let down and unhappy. I do hope that the kind people at amazon can help me again.
