My waterproof Merrell Moab 3 Mid boots are the bomb. I've worn these walking snowy trails in Colorado and hot humid summer trails in Texas. They provide great support and are incredibly comfortable.

[@iguillo]

Thanks for your testimonial. I have a pair of these and am planning on hiking in the snow for a few days in the Sierra Nevada. Sounds like if I wear wool socks my feet should stay warm and dry, which is what I’m most concerned with in that kind of weather. 😉

[@yasserabassi1938]

Is it good in snow and heavy rain ?

[@NotoriousOzTheMan]

You just have to make sure that your pants cover the top of the shoes.@@yasserabassi1938

[@mr_galaxyninja2505]

Just bought some hope they are good in snowy tails 😬

[@iguillo]

@@mr_galaxyninja2505 I just hiked in the snow with mine, but I did spray them with that Nickwax waterproofer before I went. I tested them in a bucket of water before i went and determined that a small amount of water leaked through the toes. So, after I sprayed them with the Nickwax, they didn't leak at all in the snow. ;-)

[@Juicetheeunuch]

The best review of anything I’ve ever seen. Thorough, honest and enthusiastic even though this isn’t his number 1 brand.

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Thank you for your kind comment and for watching!

[@Whiskey_Helps]

Wow those look amazing with jeans, very nice review and definitely convinced me to order a pair tonight, thank you so much!

[@sunielpatil5487]

Thanks for the review..it was really helpful

[@ronknox7442]

Love your review channel and I have the Moab 2 and love them and will be getting the 3s now

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Thank you for watching!

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

Same here. Didn't need a video to confirm my purchase, but I'm watching anyways haha. I've had 2 pairs of the moan 2 now, time to try the 3

[@caryswansong2197]

Great review! Thank you!

[@atq42]

Great review! Love the detailed breakdown, not many reviews out there like this. I need your advise, Im torn between this and Columbia's Facet 75 mid outdry. What are your thougts on the Facets? Im having a tough time deciding. Thank you

[@juliorosas5194]

Very nice boots and nice video as always. I have some old and dirty Moab 1 that I'm using right now on a work trip in Honduras with a lot of heat and rain, and they still work perfectly. But It's time to replace them with this new version.

[@xrlbizdude9553]

Great vid man… thinking about buying these…..

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Thank you for watching! Merrell is great brand, as long as their stuff fits you, you won't be disappointed!

[@olgalimpin]

Aloha my braddah. Happy New Year from Hilo, Hawaii!💕🎚

[@johnohara7590]

Just bought a pair, most comfortable with the Super Feet hike cushion insole that fits the Merrell Moab 3 Mid wide.

[@M4ttM4n20]

I'm loving my Merrell Moab 3 Mid boots. They are so comfortable.

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

I have had two pairs of the 2. Time for a new pair! I'm about to get these

[@MrScott3060]

I hope you are right because I just ordered a pair today.

[@nickrelativity6023]

How do these handle in some mud/slop on trails? These boots seem nice but some of the northeast trails can be pretty sloppy at certain times in the year.

[@intipunku8281]

Wear them every day for a year. Come back and show us what you've got left. Not a lot in my experience. Merrells fall apart after 6 months of daily use. The soles become unstuck. The mesh breaks. The rubber toes split. My feet are always sweaty. It's all very well wearing them for a few weeks a year but when you wear them everyday as a traveller they do not last. They are very comfortable. The soles are great. But they don't last which is why I won't buy them again. I'm still looking for something that does last but I don't know what the answer is. Thanks for your review.

[@waltonbruchs852]

Buy another pair of shoes and let the other ones breathe

[@DragonsinGenesisPodcast]

I’m currently using the low top version. They work fine. And my previous pair lasted 14 years. I also have two brothers and a cousin and a girlfriend who all use similar from Merrell without issue.

[@chiefbottlewasher1698]

I have new Moab 3. I am size 6 and bought size 6. There is no additional room beyond my toes (I have tried pushing my feet to the front and checking to see if there is a finger space at the back - there isn't). They feel great walking around my home, my foot doesn't slip. Maybe zi need to get next size up.

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Usually you notice the need for some extra space when you walk down hill, but it also depends on the overall fitment and foot shape.

[@pipeonthemountain]

Was curious how these held up for you a year later? Just picked a pair of the GTX's.My first pair of Merrell's. Been buying Salomon's- but they keep falling apart under 100 miles. Thanks!

[@moiseslopez5672]

I will be hiking in Mexico for 3 days, should I go with mids or lows there’s all types of terrain so rocks and stuff also should I go with the Goretex or no Goretex since it’s pretty hot

[@agustin22coppola]

Hola, buenas noches. De Argentina te mando un saludo. Muy buenas las botas. Pero fíjate que hiciste mal el pivot en la sombra de boxeo en el minuto 10:18; lo debiste haber hecho sobre la punta del pie, sobre los metacarpianos. Un abrazo grande y cuidate.

[@michaelpiantieri8913]

Are these any good for using as a stand on your feet allday type of shoe

[@zzz7zzz9]

These shoes have been great for me, EXCEPT, that the sole started squeaking, with every step. They are only about 8 months old too, and extremely light use. Went in today, where i bought them, and the warranty doesn't sound promising. The store, themselves, can do nothing. And it sounds like a waste of time sending them to Merrell. I switched back to Merrell, from Keen, but will likely be trying a different brand now.

[@Jneal1013]

Just got these today . Normally 10.5 Went 11 wide. I thought the toebox was a little narrow . Super comfortable

[@catedoge3206]

we have the same size! i might cop. : O

[@DrVetMatheoHerrera]

Between Merrel MOAB 3 and Columbia Crestwood wich is the best? Any advice?

[@EZ_Case]

Merrell.

[@jhsanta]

Hi. Got a question. Merrell Moab 3 or Salomon X Ultra 4 gtx? I find the Salomon sole a bit more hard than Merrell.

[@MrDogtown22]

Just took my ultra 4's back and swapped for the moab. If you want comfort then these are the ones

[@santoshbarot4525]

Thank you for this really useful review. Would like to know how does this one compare to the Merrell Moab 3 mid GTX ? Have you done a review of Merrell Moab 3 mid GTX ?

[@jesusizquierdo3831]

the only difference is the mesh they use, I had a pair of Moab that had Merrell's proprietary membrane (like these ones) and they were waterproof for years, zero complaints there. It could stand rain and crossing poodles without any issue GTX stands for Gore Tex which is the most famous membrane maker there is, on paper it would be even more waterproof but also more prone to get "blocked" which means not as breathable, especially during hot summer days, but the comfort sensation varies from person to person If you are going to hike in summer I would even advice you to get the version without any membrane, far better to avoid water during hikes than to have a damp shoe, especially if your hikes are longer distances

[@santoshbarot4525]

@@jesusizquierdo3831 appreciate your guidance on this. Thank you

[@frankramirez4670]

I really appreciate your channel I am an avid outdoorsman and like wearing hiking boots for my chores around the house. I also got into Survival gear as well with our crazy world. Thank you for helping me make the right decision and purchase. I really like the Under Armour stellar G2 video as well.

[@matthewotis3594]

@@jesusizquierdo3831 nice to hear they're goretex. It's generally better than shoe companies 'proprietary ' waterproof membranes made these days.

[@jduarte1506]

Excellent video, you have the opportunity to try the boots for yourself, which one you think is better: the Merrel Moab 3, the LOWA ZEPHYR MK2 GTX MID or the Salomon X Ultra 4 MID GORE-TE

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Thank you! That's a really tough one! All three are awesome. If you prefer more spacious fit, then Moab 3, more narrow, tighter fit, then Salomon. I haven't had a chance to test out MK2 yet, but they original Zephyrs are fantastic as well, built like a tank, but a bit stiffer than Merrell and Salomon.

[@jduarte1506]

@@UltimateSurvivalGear Thanks

[@wakeupamerica2462]

just got mine and they awesome

[@brocknasty3270]

Not recommended for flat feet?

Here it is: alnk.to/3y8vQnj

[@adytorres89]

hi @Ultimate Survival Gear. I bought these just yesterday. I always wear 10, but these feel like an 11 or even 11.5. I ordered the wide, would that be the reason for them being so big. I thought that the wide ony increased toe box space.

[@nateplantz4969]

My merrels make me feel so confident.

[@davidcudlip6587]

Confident? Like you could fly a plane if the pilot passed out?

[@nateplantz4969]

@@davidcudlip6587 more like not slip on a wet rock.

[@davidcudlip6587]

Or that. @@nateplantz4969

[@EZ_Case]

What does confidence in boots have to do with confidence in flying a plane? Strange analogy.

[@davidcudlip6587]

Who actually dwells every day they put their footwear on that they have "Confidence" in them? You just put them on and go about your day. If they hurt or suck, you just don't buy that pair again.@@EZ_Case

[@user-tu5sz7ip1d]

how are they for summer time?

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Might be a bit too warm for summer, but they do have low version, and if you don't care that much for waterproofing, it will be more breathable too, should work better for summer.

[@camarocarl7130]

These run half a size small.

[@MrDurandal25]

If you can ruck 7 miles in these with good socks and 50 lbs of weight will few if any, hot spots......you may have a keeper.

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Yea, definitely doable in these. Every ruck I've been to, it was mostly guys either in Salomons or Merrells. personally I prefer Salomon fit, but these are solid as well.

[@abzben1253]

Hi, do you recommend it or X ULTRA 4 MID WIDE GORE-TEX ?

[@adarkwind4712]

Personal opinion Gore Tex is likely better but these are best for the money.

[@MrDogtown22]

​@ADARKWIND you can get goretex ones of these moabs

[@AlBunky]

Non waterproof are 13.7 ounces 👍🏼

[@yasserabassi1938]

The shoe isnt good in heavy rain ?

[@Jamiejbates]

I have to clarify for everyone that these boots are for entry-level hiking (light use). I don't know the experience of the reviewer, but I work as a mountain and glacier guide here in Iceland, and after 2 weeks of hard everyday use, these boots would be destroyed.

[@Ty-jw7cv]

What kind of boot do you use?

[@Volcanosaur]

Don't know if you have experience with these boots or not but that's just flat wrong. Tackled the 100 mile wilderness over the course of 10 days in these bad boys and they held up great. They got soaked from sweat every day and I woke up to dry boots every morning.

[@DrVetMatheoHerrera]

What is the brand and specific model you would recommend for that level hiking?

[@mountainconstructions]

You comment is backed up by the 1000,s posting photos of delaminatiing soles, and comments the boot is destroyed after a few months

[@mountainconstructions]

@@Ty-jw7cv Not Merrell (Chinese), Not KEEN (just as bad).... Lowa make a good quality boot. Look them up

[@NameDisable]

Are these shoes good for hot weather?

[@TimothyCaldwell-mt5zc]

they are alright so far but they are going to be a PITA to break in

[@MichaelLee-yh7ss]

Review without showing actual real life tests is meaningless. It is nothing but just "take my word for it"
