Merrell Moab 3 Hiking Shoe - Women's

Why We Like The Moab 3 Hiking Shoe

The classic is back again for all our red rock treks, desertscape hikes, and every adventure in-between. This iteration of the Moab Hiking Shoe is made with Merrell's commitment to eco-conscious design, so they've chosen recycled materials for the breathable mesh lining, secure-fit laces, and easy-on webbing loops. Suede leather and mesh panels offer on-trail protection that still lets our feet breathe easy.

Moab 3

My similar-looking shoes from Columbia were starting to wear out on the fabric even before the soles, which was surprising. So, I bought Moab 3 with suede which will probably hold up better. My feet have been uncomfortable for the last few years. They feel noticeably better with the mew Merrells.

Must Have

I’m new to hiking and bought these a 1/2 size up which give me plenty of room on my walks. I went on a total of a 5 mile uphill hike and had no issues. No break in time, just put them on and you’re ready to go! So happy I bought these!

comfy, warm and dry

I bought these for a trip to Ireland. They were super comfortable right out of the box, no need to break them in, and they kept my feet warm and dry.

Great shoes!

I bought these as my first pair of real hiking shoes for my trek in the Dolomites, and they were wonderful. Absolutely no blisters, kept water out and my feet never felt especially sweaty (able to rewear socks when needed, lol)!!! 10/10!

Comfortable hiker!

I took these to Scotland. We did a LOT of walking and hiked some steep waterfalls. Very comfortable out of the box - no break-in needed. I did size up to allow for a wool sock.

Cute and comfy hiking shoes! Feminine and light.

I took these with me to the Azores and they were wonderful and cute! Highly recommend them. I hiked up some steep terrain that was wet and I had no issues going up and down with ease. My friends were slipping and sliding the whole route. I will say they were a tiny bit uncomfortable walking on sidewalks but nothing that would stop me from packing and using them again on another trip.

Super Comfortable- No Break In Needed

I bought these shoes to hike in and decided to test them out at Yellowstone National Park. There was no break in needed, after reading the reviews i did size up by half a size and felt like it was perfect! They were super comfortable to walk around in and i would wear them like an everyday shoe since the color was also super cute! Would totally recommend them to others!
