Overview
Merrell updated the Moab with this third version, which adds a more supportive insole, a softer midsole and a Vibram outsole to a suede and mesh hiking shoe. Recycled laces and partially recycled fabrics are part of the build.
Out-of-the-box comfort and all-purpose versatility define the Moab line, and this version adds more support and softer cushioning. The recycled laces and fabric are the sustainability angle. Weatherproofing is absent and width details are not given.
Who it's for
Day hikers and casual wearers who want a comfortable lace-up shoe with some arch support. Anyone needing waterproofing should choose a membrane model.
Pros and cons
- Vibram outsole traction
- Softer cushioned midsole
- Arch support insole
- Recycled laces and fabrics
- Not water resistant
- Width options not listed
- Spec table mixes casual and hiking use
Performance notes
A softer midsole absorbs impact, and the more supportive insole shapes the underfoot contact. The Vibram outsole is described as grippier, which helps on loose ground. A moderate cushioning level and a neutral pronation rating mean no corrective stability is built in.
