MerrellMen's Moab 2 Mid GTX Waterproof Walking Shoe, Beluga, 10

Excellent lightweight walking boots from Merrell. They are very comfortable and I found did not need breaking in. I haven't tested them in very wet conditions yet but I am hoping the Gore-tex lining in these boots is as good as my old pair which never let me down - it was just the outside of the boots that eventually gave up

Great boots, waterproof, warm, comfortable, grippy, good looking! Definitely worth the price

Having said that I bought these at a discount of £64. I always go through Amazon and find the discounted stock.I think top price is about £120.00. Merrell make excellent footwear (in Vietnam). Heed the warning in the sales blurb and buy half a size too big ie I bought 10UK and usually take 9.5UK 43 European.I sinned when I bought these with the excuse that they cover the ankle. These are Goretex waterproof/breathable with a good sole, light weight and you don't know you've got them on. I wear my Merrell waterproof shoes I've worn every day for 3-4 years when I go out of the house. If you are foot-slogging around a town or city your feet would ache in a pair of sandals or ordinary shoes. Good for rough terrain too. Good for rambling but perhaps not built for the climbing sort of rambling. My excuse for buying this half boot style when my shoes are still good is that, when the monsoon rain came down (in Leicestershire) the other day, the water was getting in over the tops of my Merrell walking shoes.

UPDATE: LEAKED on first wet walk - not very wet or very long. Accepted option to return :)Tried these after having Salomon GTXs for a few years.Nice and light but pretty narrow which meant I had to break them in - first time for a pair of boot like these.

Fit was a little shorter than I expected but not too short, surprising as I had tried on a low pair (rather than the mids I bought) in a Sports Direct for fit. Other than are better than the Keens they have replaced. Good so far. No comment on water as yet but expect them to be good as they are Gore Tex.

This is a comfortable shoe and reasonably good value. The quality of the upper lets it down because, within a hear the materials had cracked and split. I have another pair of these that I bought ten years ago and the sole gave out -- but the upper is in good nick. I glued the sole back on and wear them in the garden. Quality has now in my opinion gone down. Suede replaced with plastic. Disappointing.

Still going strong. Most reliable brand for my feet/walking style I've found.
