Reviewed at Merrell
I'm a first time Merrell customer, and pleased with these shoes. My feet are crazy wide across the metatarsal, but narrow at the heel (hobbit feet), so finding something that works is hard. The wide width isn't as wide as I'd like in the forward part of the shoe but I went with these over Drew because although those do have a roomier toebox, the quality of materials & workmanship is much higher on the Merrells. So far these have been super comfortable on longish walks over mixed terrain, and I expect they'll hold up well.

These fit perfectly. I did not even have to wear them in, I just put them on and went to work. I do hard physical labor outside and these held up to the challenge. I wish I had found them sooner. Love them!

I usually wear a 6-1/2 but took a 6 in this shoe. Wore them hiking right out of the box with comfort. Definitely recommend.

I have worn nothing but Merrell Moab 2 shoes for walking for as long as I can remember. I have psoriatic arthritis and my feet are a mess, but these shoes keep me on the road daily for my 3.6 mile walk.

Comfy out of the box in my normal size. Well constructed with a firm-ish foot bed. Great padded collar and room for the ankle support I sometimes wear. Pleasant color that will look fine with everything. These will replace my old Clark's Wave Treks which haven't been designed right lately. Pleased.

I have extremely wide feet so it’s hard to find shoes that fit. These Merrell Moab 2 Vents were comfortable right out of the box— a miracle. Lots of space in the toe box, excellent arch support and no dreaded heel rub so these are great shoes for me. Smoke color, the only one available in my size, is a greyish blue which is nicely neutral but not boring. If you have very wide feet give them a try.

My second pair....I’ve developed a v small bunion so had to move to a wide. They fit great. My older Merrels are still in v good shape after years of walking/hiking. I expect the new pair will last years as well.

Felt comfortable and was cuter than expected. Ordered a Keen and a mid top Merrell and these fit the best.

Very comfortable shoe. Toe box is fairly wide. Insole is removable and my cushioned orthotics fit nicely. Tongue is very padded which adds to comfort. Supportive and stable yet light weight and breathable. I have two pairs!!

I’m a huge fan of Merrell shoes and these did not disappoint at all! First tested them out on a 14er (6hrs long) and they were fantastic! Toes were protected and not beaten up from the trek. And my feet never got tired or any blisters! The front as adequate toe space which is great when your feet swells up from hiking. Highly recommend!

This is my second pair of Merrell Moab's. The first pair are high-tops which I wear around the farm; this new pair is for casual wear. Comfortable right out of the box. Lots of wiggle room for my toes and good cushioning in the sole. I like that they are flat with not much heel, so my feet don't try to slide forward and crunch my toes.

Good fit -- nice to find it in a W online since local stores just don't stock them. I was able to go a half-size down from the 9Ms I typically have to settle for when I buy locally. Structure is good -- vast improvement over the garbage Siren Sport 2, about comparable to the original Siren Sport.

These shoes are amazing! I normally wear a size 12 but the size 11 fits perfectly. The support is awesome. Wore them on a 15 mile hike and no blisters or sore feet.

Hiked the infamous Camelback mountain for the first time. Almost 3 hours of climbing. This was my first time to wear the shoes and I have no complaints! Didn’t need breaking in at all!

Great shoes! Very lightweight and comfortable, good support for walking and hiking. I have wide feet so my go-to shoe for years has been Keens, which I love - but I liked the style of these Merrill's and decided to give them a try. Glad I did, they fit really well (I bought a W) and have a nice feel of structure and support at the heel. I wear an 8 and ordered both 8 and 8.5. I kept the larger size to wear with heavy socks for hiking, but am thinking I probably should have gone for the 8 as the shoes have relaxed a little breaking in- so I would say these are very much true-to-size.

I've been wearing the Moab Vent size 8.5 medium for years. I read a few reviews about the Moab 2 Vent that led me to believe that the sizing was off. I didn't find that to be true for me. The new 8.5 feels the same, and fit right out of the box. I always take out the factory insole and replace it with Superfeet Green insoles, and did so for my new ones as well. The arch feels the same to me with the Superfeet. If I have any suggestions for improvement, it would be to offer this shoe in a few more colors. I always end up with the Smoke, which I like, but a charcoal or medium brown might be nice. I live in a rain forest in Alaska, and all of my shoes end up the color of dried muskeg eventually.

I wore them all day right out of the box. I have wide feet and messed up toes so I ordered a wide. My feet weren't squished and my toes weren't cramped. Can't wait to get them on the trail! Look good too!

Ordered 1/2 size larger because I hike mountain terrain. A little extra length is needed for the downhill trek. Also ordered Wide. Toe box is very roomy & comfortable. Looking forward to living in these hikers!

I've tried other hiking boots and shoes, but I always return to the Moab. I have the mid- version, the water-proof version, and this one. They are perfect for my foot, and I love the relatively wide toe box. And orthotics fit in perfectly. Thank you, Merrell!

Great for hiking. I have a wide foot at the toe box and normal at the heels. The wide version of this toe box almost seemed too wide for me, but I kept them anyway because the heel fit was perfect. No breaking in, took them for a 3 mile moderately rocky and inclined hike and my feet never once hurt. Excellent traction and my feet didn’t overheat.

Because I have such a wide foot, I could comfortably order a M width and they fit fine. I also like the lower profile as the hiking shoes I've worn in the past have bothered my ankle which is always a little bit swollen. This is my second pair and I could see ordering this particular style for years to come.

These hikers fit my wide feet perfectly. I thought they may need some break-in period, but in fact, they don't. They were comfortable from day one! Within five days of arrival I was walking 5+ miles/day in the city and countryside during vacation. No problems at all.

I really like Merrill shoes, great quality and this boot was a very comfortable fit, with enough room with a medium weight sock. Plenty of toe width too. I decided the boot was too bulky for the light hiking I usually do.

These Sneakers surpass the comfort zone. I have purchased from Zappos before and I have purchased these sneakers as well in the past. I cannot tell you how comfortable the Moab by Merrell are. Very soft inside as well as ventilated enough for comfort. They wear well and last.
Zappos has a great exchange system, if needed and extremely courteous helpers to assist your needs. I am not paid for this, just a satisfied customer!
