Overview

Roots, rocks and ridgelines are the terrain this Merrell Moab 3 is built for: a low-top lace-up hiking shoe in suede leather and mesh on a rubber sole.

A viscoelastic foam insole and a softer midsole target comfort, while shock resistance and low weight suit long days on the trail. The all-purpose design covers hiking and casual walking. Waterproofing is missing, and width and drop are not given.

Who it's for

Hikers and walkers who want a cushioned low-cut shoe for varied ground. Those needing waterproofing, or a stability shoe, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Viscoelastic foam cushioning
  • Pig suede and mesh upper
  • Shock resistant build
  • Lace-up adjustable fit
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Hiking and walking labels mixed
  • Width options not given

Performance notes

The viscoelastic foam insole molds underfoot and damps impact, and the moderate cushioning level leaves the ride moderately firm. A neutral pronation rating means no corrective support. The Vibram outsole is described as grippier, which helps on rocky terrain.
