Merrell mens Moab 3 Mid Wp Hiking Boot, Earth, 11.5

Good quality footwear.

I have been beating on these shoes for 2 years now and they are still going strong. I haven't had a shoe last me 1 year let alone 2 years in a very long time. I use them for heavy yard work, good weather hunting and everyday use. Replaced the insole with some Dr Scholes after the originals wore out. I spent less than $100 back then and now they are $170, wow. I will wait until the price drops before I purchase my backups but if I needed some ASAP, they are worth the money.

I hike a lot, for both work and for fun. These shoes are my everyday shoes that I wear throughout the year on hiking trips, backpacking trips, easy rock climbing, mountain biking, etc. I get a solid year out of them. By the end of twelve months the soles start wearing thing and I buy a new pair of the exact same shoes. I've been buying a new pair of these every July or August for about 10 years. I usually buy them at Bob's Stores, which have now closed. Fortunately, I found them here on Amazon and bought the exact size and model that I always get. I was nervous about not being able to try them on and see them in person, but they are exactly what I wanted and the exact fit. I'll buy another pair here next year.

I have had these boots for 2 years now and have taken them on many hikes and a few backpacking trips. They are comfy, not too heavy, and provide a small amount of ankle support but will not completely stop you from rolling an ankle. At times they seem a little warm but was not a problem for me. The reason I give them 3 stars is because they are not waterproof. I paid extra for waterproof so I could walk through wet grass or shallow creeks and not get wet feet. At first it was a very slight leak and I decided no big deal, but now it stops nothing from soaking my socks. I guess nothing is truely waterproof these days so save your money and get the regular ones.

Absoltely the best boot I've worn for working in. I own and operate a pressure washing business and although the boot will get soaking wet with water, my feet are never wet. Outstanding water proofness. So many "waterproof" boots and shoes I've tried and they all caused my feet to get soaking wet witin minutes. Not this one. Have owned them over a year and getting ready to buy another pair as a back up pair and for casual use. These are also the most comfortable boot I've ever worn as well. Can't recommend highly enough.
