Overview
Lacing up the waterproof Merrell Moab gives an ankle height hiking boot with a waterproof membrane, a cushioned midsole and a Vibram rubber outsole. The newest version adds a more supportive insole and uses recycled materials.
Out of the box comfort and dry feet on muddy trails are why hikers choose this boot. It is a general purpose hiker, so heavy backpacking loads over rough terrain call for a stiffer boot.
Who it's for
Weekend trail walks, wet spring hikes and travel with mixed terrain suit a cushioned waterproof boot. Those hauling heavy packs over several days need more rigid support, and summer desert hikers may find a waterproof boot warm.
Pros and cons
- Waterproof membrane blocks puddles
- Cushioned midsole for long days
- Vibram outsole for grip
- Recycled materials in construction
- Size listed only in the title
- Waterproofing traps heat in summer
- Ankle height boots weigh more than trail shoes
Performance notes
Traction comes from the Vibram rubber lugs, which bite into dirt and mud, while the cushioned midsole absorbs rocks and roots underfoot. The waterproof membrane blocks water from outside but also slows sweat escaping, so feet run warmer on hot days.
