Overview
Not a boot, the Merrell Moab in its waterproof version is a low-top hiking shoe with a leather and mesh upper. It pairs a supportive insole and a cushioned midsole with a grippy Vibram outsole and partly recycled fabrics.
Comfort out of the box and a waterproof build cover most day hikes and wet trails. As a low shoe, it does not protect the ankle the way a mid or high boot does.
Who it's for
Day hikes, muddy trails and travel where feet may get wet. Backpackers on rocky ground with heavy loads should choose a taller boot.
Pros and cons
- Grippy Vibram outsole
- Partly recycled fabrics
- Low cut, no ankle coverage
- Waterproofing may run warm in heat
Performance notes
A waterproof membrane blocks water from outside but also slows sweat escaping, so the shoe can feel warm in summer. The Vibram rubber grips through its compound and lug pattern, which decides traction on wet rock and mud.
