Merrell Moab GTX XCR Hiking Shoes

I'm getting ready to order another pair, but I have had my current MOAB's for 2+ years. I wore these shoes (dark chocolate) every day for over a year, work, school, sometimes to run in. These shoes took massive abuse at work (in a granite fabrication shop) until the sides busted out. I would stand in 1-3 inches of water all day and my feet would remain bone dry, I would also wear them in the snow, hiking, biking, you name it. I ended up "repairing" the busted out sides (I tore them on scraps of granite counter top in our scrap pile) with fishing line and these suckers are back to nearly water proof. They currently get used for biking, hiking and anything where my shoes are gonna get dirty or muddy. Trust me, you can't go wrong with these, and they even look nice enough to wear to a job with business a casual dress code (if you keep them nice looking).

these shoes are falling apart... riddled with holes... my feet are wet...they have no grip because the soles are totally worn out and starting to peel off....... after 2 years of year'round abuse. 2 years! these are undoubtably the best shoes i've ever owned. I'm sad to see them go. after trail running every season in them, countless hikes, wearing them everyday to work, and putting my feet up at the bar as I order a drink....these shoes have done it all.... and survived. I typically burn through shoes within 7 months. Not these ones (and not their sibling..the mid-tops..but thats for another time). These shoes are my favorite. nice and grippy, waterproof, and breathable enough for the murky new england july and august. Enjoy! I'm off to find another pair.

I've been wearing nothing but Moab's for going on four years now. They're immeasurably comfortable, relatively rugged, handle water/mud very well and offer tremendous support in a small size.
Carrying no more than 25 pounds backpacking I see no need to wear a higher length mid or full on hiking boot and I love having shoes that can do double/triple/etc duty from on the trail, to around town, to doing some light biking. I've always been a fond fan of shoes that can serve in every situation and these fit the bill beautifully.
Over the summer/fall I beat these shoes up considerably outdoors instructing each day. Only one pair I've owned has been given up, thrashed after 2 1/2 years and even then it was only because it LOOKED beat-up, not because function or performance had been compromised. Go for it, you'll love them.

So I have had these shoes for about two weeks. I can't say that I have broken them in all of the way yet. First things I have noticed are the insole is very comfortable. Its a spongy kind of material. These fit very true to size and takes the guesswork out of trying to size without trying them on. My first few days of walking in these have produced some blisters but only on one foot. I'm hoping as they break in this gets better. I have high hopes for these and I think they will deliver.

I wore these shoes for over a year for everything from day to day use to hiking to trail running. The durability was great and I loved that they kept my feet dry without sweating. I would still be wearing them but the sole at the heal work through.
They fit true to size and width.
The problem is I can't find the color I had in my size anywhere.

Perfect. The do tend to get a little warm in the summer months (they are Gortex, what do you expect?), but an exceptional shoe for cooler weather. The heel of this shoe is fairly thick, thicker than I am accustomed too...so after getting used to it, they are my favorite shoe for wet/ sloppy conditions. The Merrell "fit" is pretty true to size I suppose - I wear a 9 and it fits the same way my Nike size 9's fit. To add: these shoes are bomb proof. 2 years of abuse and still going strong!

Going on fourth pair in four years. I beat these shoes up pretty good running on the road, trail, hiking, the slot canyons in utah(which really beat the tar out of a shoe, and these shoes do super). They work well in snow with some nice gators too, and are light, comfy, and perfect for one who wants a lot of personality from a shoe. They have the waterproofing, and its bomb, for but eventually decreases year to year after good use. another reason to buy a new pair.

My work has me on my feet all day long, with periods of time standing in one are for many hours at a time. These shoes have such good support and cushion that my feet are as fresh after a full day as when I wear my running shoes. Combine that with the rugged outdoor credentials of great grip (even in wet condintions) and waterproofing and the result is another great product from a trusted outdoor company.

I've owned a pair of these Merrell/Moab GTX shoes now for 2 years. Wear them almost every day. I can't seem to wear them out. They fit me great right from the start and are very comfortable around town or in the woods. Built very well and maybe they last too long. I may just get tired of wearing these for so such a long time and look for another pair to break up the monotony.

I LOVE these shoes! Best I've ever owned. I've had them for about 7 months now and feel like I've got a good understanding of them.
I only use these for hiking. They have incredible grip. I always feel firm inside and out of the shoe. Comfort and support are top-notch and break-in time wasn't too bad. I never did get any blisters during the break-in period. They are wearing extremely well with no defects whatsover.
