From Backcountry.com:
"Whether you hit up some red rock on your mountain bike or hike through a sun-drenched canyon, the Merrell Men's Moab Ventilator Hiking Shoe keeps your feet cool, comfortable, and hungry for more. Merrell constructed these shoes with leather strapping supports to protect the breathable mesh uppers that supply your feet with fresh air on those oven-hot desert hikes. An Air Cushion midsole absorbs shock on jarring downhill jaunts, and a compression-molded EVA footbed provides the support you need on varied terrain. Merrell recommends wearing the Ventilator shoe with a light to midweight sock."

From REI:
"These highly breathable Merrell® Moab Ventilator cross-trainers work hard on all your active warm-weather endeavors. Dura leather/nylon ventilator mesh uppers offer ample breathability, flexibility and support for long-lasting performance. Protective rubber toe bumpers ensure durability and abrasion-resistance; heel loops aid in entry. Mesh padded tongue protects instep against lace pressure without inhibiting breathability. Nylon mesh linings absorb and disperse excess moisture for more comfortable feet in hot conditions. Removable 4.5mm footbeds are anatomically shaped and add cushioning for improved comfort. Full-length, compression-molded EVA midsoles supply cushioning and support for all-day wear. Air Cushion® heel pockets provide extra shock-absorption under heels and help stabilize footstrike. Nylon arch shanks provide extra stability and support. Vibram® Multi-Sport™ outsole with Trek and Super Trek rubber deliver reliable traction on both wet and dry surfaces."

"A satisfactory trail hiker when used for light day hikes along well-cleared trails. Absolutely NOT designed for backpacking with any weight - will not provide much support or underfoot protection. Negative reviews by those using them for this purpose are meaningless as this is not what the shoe is constructed for."

"Very comfortable and good stability, found the shoe rigid enough for my 30 lb pack load.

My backpacking this week consisted of the Flat Tops in Colorado and required many stream and bog like conditions in the meadows. What I found was that the shoe held water weight more then I would like, was slow to dry and holds bog and mud scent after several washings."

"Excellent, lightweight hiking shoe that really helps with my over-supination (wear out the outsides of sole). Breeze flows right through the mesh upper and the nice, wide heel feels very stable even on very uneven ground.

I hike 3 to 5 miles daily on semi-groomed uneven trail."
