ASIN: B07TYY4NX6Model: Moab 2 Vent

Overview

Not a waterproof boot, the Merrell Moab 2 Vent is a low-top hiking shoe built to breathe, with a mesh and suede upper, a supportive footbed and Vibram traction underneath.

Mesh panels and leather overlays balance airflow with durability, and the Vibram outsole handles loose trail surfaces. The Moab name stands for Mother-Of-All-Boots, a reputation built on out-of-the-box comfort. Water protection is absent, and the cushioning grade is marked indeterminable.

Who it's for

Day hikers who run warm and want a breathable shoe that is comfortable on day one. Anyone hiking in rain or snow should choose a waterproof model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Ventilated, breathable upper
  • Vibram traction outsole
  • Lace-up adjustable fit
  • Leather and suede durability
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Cushioning level indeterminable
  • Weight not listed

Performance notes

Mesh panels let air and heat escape, which is the job of the ventilated build. The Vibram outsole grips dry rock and dirt, and the supportive footbed shapes the foot's contact with the shoe. Without water protection, wet ground can soak into the mesh.
