If we talk about hiking, we have to talk about the Merrell Moab 3: The world's best-selling walking boots have been updated. The extensive Moab line has been standing out among its competitors for more than a decade for unparalleled comfort, durability and versatility.
This hiking shoe features improved support, cushioning and grip. In addition Merrell has joined the fight for greater sustainability and has added some recycled fabrics to these Merrell Moab 3. Undoubtedly, with these improvements, the American brand seeks to continue to increase sales of this famous family of mountain shoes.
Main features: Merrell Moab 3
Merrell, with the resistance and versatility they're known for, continue improving comfort and cushioning.
The midsole incorporates Merrell Air Cushion technology that absorbs impacts and provides stability. Unlike the Merrel Moab 2 GTX, these shoes also feature the Super Rebound Compound technology that offers lasting shock absorption in the heel, to reduce torque and allow a smooth transition to the midfoot.
We have previously noted that Merrell has opted to release a partially sustainable product, and it is in the upper where this takes presence. The upper is composed, in part, of pig suede leather lined with mesh. The laces and reinforcements are 100% recycled. In terms of performance, these Merrell Moab 3 have a protective toe cap and a gusseted tongue to keep dirt out.
The sole does not present too many changes and maintains the characteristic VibramTC5+ rubber sole, offering the traction, grip and adherence necessary to get into any type of terrain. Inside is a removable molded insole, Kinetic Fit ADVANCED, with reinforced cushioning in the heel for intermediate support. Comfort is assured!
Technical specifications: Merrell Moab 3
This hiking shoe for women and men are the perfect ally for your mountain adventures. The Merrell Moab 3 has impeccable cushioning and as usual in this range, durability and resistance are guaranteed.
Undoubtedly it is also to be welcomed that the American brand is going for a partially sustainable product, as other brands are already doing. Merrell Moab, the world's best-selling family of hiking shoes, is celebrating, starting the path of a new member that will give much to talk about, it's the turn of the Merrell Moab 3!
Review of Merrell Moab 3
Lander Azpiazu
TesterMerrell Moab 3, protection and comfort first and foremost
Just by taking a look at them, the Merrell Moab 3 remind you of a more traditional footwear, they even have many similarities with a mountain boot, both for its design and, above all, for its structure and shape. But nothing could be further from the truth, the truth is that this model is much more comfortable and dynamic than any current boot and any walking shoe of the past years.
The midsole of this hiking shoe is called Merrell Air Cushion and the truth is that they hit the mark. The shoe is cushioned and much more comfortable than it seems at first. That feeling of softness is very important when walking for a long time. The transitions are very fluid and smooth thanks to the Super Rebound Compound technology, which means that every time you place your heel on the ground , the impacts are absorbed in a much less aggressive way.
Another aspect to highlight is Merrell's commitment to design a model, one more, that protects the foot against external elements such as stones, rocks or roots. The toe reinforcements and an upper halfway between breathable and robust make the foot feel safe and at the same time, ventilated. We are not talking about the typical shoe that at the slightest touch makes your toes or instep protest as a result of bumps or chafing.
Last but not least, the Vibram TC5+ outsole offers great security on any type of terrain. Despite not being a compound as "chewy" as a trail running shoe, it is sufficiently adherent so that the foot does not slip when we step on rocky areas, even if they are wet. The same happens in muddy areas, the sole provides the necessary grip to support the foot firmly and without fear of our buttocks landing on the ground.
Hiker profile of the Merrell Moab 3
It's clear. Although it is grateful to walk with these Moab 3 on all types of terrain, I would focus on a use on technical terrain rather than on trails or compact trails. By this I mean that their structure is made to be exposed to blunt external elements and surfaces that test our stability.
I am talking about hikers who are used to do trekking where there is a positive slope present, as happens in the ascent of the mountains. Its grip will allow us to climb and descend with total guarantee. Whether it is mid-mountain with the presence of stone or roots, or a more technical mountain with the existence of rock or loose stone, the Moab 3 will perform very efficiently.
What we liked most about the Merrell Moab 3
Without a doubt, what I liked the most is that feeling of foot protection combined with the feeling of comfort and freedom inside the shoe. In other words, you feel like you can walk on any type of terrain without the foot suffering too much. This means that as the hours go by, you continue to maintain the feeling of comfort with every step, even if you have been walking on unstable surfaces or have been going up and down continuously.
The sole is another of the pleasant aspects of this model. It offers a versatile grip, as it performs well both on wet terrain and every time you step on a rock or stone. Even if that rock is wet, like when you cross a stream, the Vibram outsole sticks very well wherever you step.
Opportunities for improvement in the Merrell Moab 3
Due to its robustness and its strong materials, I have missed a bit of breathability on those days when temperatures are high. Maybe it's because of the physiognomy of my foot, but I have felt that on days when the sun is hot the foot tends to sweat and accumulate more heat than on cooler days. This could be solved by using thinner socks on these days.
Another thing I would improve, but this would perhaps mean breaking the essence of the shoe, is to use more attractive designs and colors, so that trekking enthusiasts will find the Moab much more appealing.
With what other models can we compare the Merrell Moab 3?
Merrell Moab 3 Conclusions
The Merrell Moab 3 are made to walk for many kilometers without losing the feeling of comfort. An ideal model for those routes of ascents and descents, where the presence of steep slopes and demanding descents put us to test both us and the shoe. Of course, grip will be assured.
Whatever the terrain and the external elements, we can walk with the peace of mind that our feet and our physical integrity will be safe. This shoe is much more than it seems.
