"The good, the bad, and the, well, the bad. . . .

Good - Fits great right out of the box. My waterproofing on the first pair of boots was solid, was able to cross shallow streams with no problems.

Bad - The waterproofing didn't last long. Water started pouring in around the back of the heel."

"I am not a hiker or rambler but I do go shooting and fishing and i wanted a light pair or walking shoes that where comfortable and would keep my feet dry when walking through grass fields and in rain.

I got these shoes on the evening of 10th November 2009, they where very comfortable and with the Gore-tex guarantee to keep you dry, I was confident in my purchase would fit my needs."

"I arrived at Great Smoky Mountains National Park only to realize that I had left my hiking boots in Louisiana. Panic set in. How was I to hike in Mountains without well broken in boots?

I set out to find a decent pair of hikers, and after trying on several, settled on the Merrell Moabs."

"I used to wear heavy leather hiking boots. Not any more. I always heard that shoe weight was important, but never realized how important until I did my run in heavy boots! It wore me out! So I looked for the lightest Gore-tex boots I could find, and this is the boot I bought."
