The Merrell Moab 2 Vent is one of the lightest and most breathable versions of the Moab line whose acronym means "Mother of all boats", i.e. the mother of all boots.

Having already to its credit different versions, among which it is worth highlighting the Merrell Moab 2 GTX.

If there is something that characterizes the Moab line of Merrel is for its excellent versatility to face the most rugged hiking routes.

Merrel Moab 2 Vent: Upper characteristics

As its name suggests, the Ventilator model of the Moab saga is the one in which the American brand has placed more emphasis to achieve better breathability. A factor that is appreciated in abundance when we have been walking for many hours on the mountain. Although the shoes are not waterproof, they are quick-drying, so you won't have to worry about a single drop of rain on the mountain.

The materials used for the upper have been mesh and synthetic leather, resulting in a robust shoe, but at least we ensure durability with these classic materials with a perfect finish.

In the toe and heel we find the classic reinforcements for these areas most exposed to wear and abrasion during the tour. Regarding the arch of the shoe we have opted for a nylon protection.

As far as the interior is concerned, the shoe comes with an anatomical insole called Merrell M-Select FIT.ECO capable of dealing with foot odor.

Midsole and outsole

In the middle of the shoe the Air Cushion technology patented by the firm is present, as in all models of this saga, and is accompanied by a very light EVA midsole capable of providing a simple and effective cushioning. The Vibram TC5+ outsole, capable of adapting to all types of surfaces, has been chosen for the upper.

As we mentioned at the beginning, these Hiking shoes from the Merrell brand have been created for the practice of hiking. A shoe capable of defending itself properly in any type of terrain due to its Vibram sole. Like the shoes of the Moab collection, it has a low cut, with good breathability, so it would be more advisable to use them in times of high temperatures.
