Review: Perfect shoes! - I bought a pair of these nearly 2 years ago at cabelas. I'm one of those people that buys shoes to wear. I don't want a closet full. I just want one comfortable pair that holds up and looks good enough to get away with wearing anywhere. I always dreaded the day my shoes would wear out because finding a new pair meant hours at store after store trying on whatever new styles there were to find the next pair. I tried these on to these 2 years ago when my last pair of whatever I had then had worn out. Oh we're the comfortable. So I bought them even though cabelas price was expensive. Since then I have worn them every day at work and at home. I teach wood shop to middle schoolers during the day and work as an EMT for the local ambulance squad on the weekends. These shoes were worn 10 to 12 hours a day at work in the shop, at home working on the house and in my own shop. They have been through many ambulance calls. I probably walk 20 miles a week between school and ambulance work and home which would mean the last pair I just retired had over 2000 miles on them. They have been worn to church and even a wedding. Even in the snow they are great shoes when boots are not required. Every day for nearly 2 years. Finally last week working at home in my shop I squatted down and the sole separated from the shoe. So I quickly ordered another pair. I could not believe they were still making them! Shoe companies seem to change styles every year. A company that was making the same shoes after 2 years. How wonderful. I was so pleased. Good price. Just arrived. Put them on. They fit exactly the same as my old ones. Same fit. Same comfort. Great traction and tread. Perfect arch support. And they look to be made with the same quality. Like my last pair, I'll treat them with water proofing spray. It really helps. And I'm hoping for another 2 years. Thanks Merrel for maintaining consistency and high quality in your products and not giving in to the pressure to change your product line everywhere. Photo attached is from the old pair. After 2 years and over an estimated 2000 miles of every day use. Updated 9/2017. Wore out the second pair. They lasted a good long time. So I ordered a 2rd pair. Still same great quality and fit. The new pair seem a bit softer on the top which I really like. Just wonderful shoes. Hopefully they will keep making them for s long time to come. Review: Surpisingly comfortable and well made... - I am typically a high end shoe guy (you get what you pay for more often than not and if you take care of your feet, they will take care of you) preferring Lowa and other top brands. In this day and age, all the craze is waterproof and Gore-Tex lined footwear which is great except for the summer and hot weather locations. I know Gore-Tex is supposed to be "breathable" but my feet just cant take the heat inside those materials. They sweat profusely, much faster than the material can "breathe" away. All that moisture, with the added friction of hiking tears my feet up - some of the worst blisters have been from wearing great boots that were Gore-Tex lined in the heat. My answer has been to start wearing boots and shoes that are mesh and highly ventilated. Yes my feet get wet when I step in a puddle or cross water. But not any more so than sweating all day, and they dry much faster than in Gore-Tex boots. I think it is a good trade off. Hence the Moab Ventilator... These are not made for hiking heavy packs. There is zero ankle stability or the stiff foot bed you expect from a high end hiking boot. These are more like tennis shoes or athletic shoes. Disappointing from that point (but you get what you pay for remember). What was pleasantly surprising to me was just how comfortable these shoes are. They fit like a glove (size is true), and are made in a manner to avoid hotspots and will absolutely allow your feet to breathe. Exactly what I was looking for and at a very reasonable price. These are not shoes to throw 100 pounds of kit on your back and hike up anything with. They are probably not for long hikes with just water on your back. (Sorry but there is just not the support for your feet). They are perfectly suited for all day wear around camp, working, and perhaps even post hiking (they are so comfortable, I can imagine taking very sore feet after a full day of heavy hiking or hunting and putting them in these shoes). Perhaps I do not give these shoes enough credit for being durable and appropriate for hiking, I am sure that there are those out there that have and do use Merrell for extended hiking. And they can write their own review. That is to say that from my perspective, (someone who owns a lot of high end hiking boots and shoes) that these shoes are great. Very comfortable, and do provide that missing niche in today's waterproof boot craze, particularly if you don't expect too much out of them in an heavy weight or long distance hiking situation. I highly recommend these shoes in spite of my ranting against them, and have since purchased a second pair. Purchase a set, you wont be sorry even if all you use them for are camp shoes. ## Features - Hiking shoe with water-resistant leather and mesh upper featuring rubber toe bumper and heel counter - Compression-molded EVA foot frame - Air Cushion midsole and Vibram Multi-Sport TC5+ rubber outsole ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0014YITAY | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,945,705 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #6,046 in Men's Hiking Shoes | | Brand | Merrell | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Beluga/Denim Blue | | Cushioning Level | maximum | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,211 Reviews | | Embellishment Feature | Rubber Sole | | Fabric type | 100% Leather/Mesh | | Fit to Size Sentiment | True | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00098682388882 | | Has Shoe Adjustability | Yes | | Heel Type | Flat | | Inner material | Breathable Fabric | | Insole Cushioning | EVA, Polyurethane | | Insole Material | Textile | | Item Weight | 15 Ounces | | Lace Closure | Eyelets | | Lace Ends | [Standard Plastic Tips] | | Manufacturer | Merrell | | Manufacturer Part Number | J87333 | | Material Fabric | Leather, Mesh | | Model Name | Moab | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion Lifestyle | athletic, hiking, outdoor | | Occasion Type | Hiking | | Outer Material | Leather | | Outer material | Leather | | Pattern | solid | | Platform Height | 2 Inches | | Seasons | Fall | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Vibram | | Sole material | Vibram | | Special Features | Water Resistant, Lightweight | | Specific Uses For Product | Hiking | | Sport Type | Hiking | | Strap Type | Adjustable | | Style Name | Moab Ventilator-m | | Style Number | J87333 | | Theme | Outdoor, Athletic, Hiking | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 098682388882 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | lining-description | Fabric | ## Images ![Merrell Men's Moab Ventilator Hiking Shoe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yKFMPWDAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect shoes! *by A***D on August 17, 2016* I bought a pair of these nearly 2 years ago at cabelas.

I purchased this just prior to a 7 month backpacking trip across parts of Europe, SE Asia, Australia and New Zealand. These were my only shoes for the entire trip so lots of usage. I'd highly recommend pairing it with darn tough socks or something similar as you can really avoid blisters and it's a lot more comfortable. I'd average anywhere from 5-10 miles a day walking so definitely took the shoes thru the wringer. So here are the Pros and Cons. Pros: The Shoes have held up really well and still look good even today after trekking thru all kinds of terrains. Good airflow/ventilation. Never felt that my feet were too hot when paired with merino wool socks. Good grip overall on dry surfaces and fairly easy to keep clean Comfortable fit but not too tight based on your shoe size. I went with the Wide option in the shoe which allows more room for your toes. They were comfortable from the very beginning so didn't require a break in period. Quality materials on the shoe. I've had them approx a year and still feel like they can last for another 1-2 years no problem even with daily wear. Great for city walking as well as hiking and even can be used for gym workout no problems. Very flexible in that regards. Cons: They were really slippery on smooth surfaces both wet and dry. For example on city streets with smooth stone/marble like pavement I had to be really careful or I'd fall. I came close to falling multiple times in those scenarios. If the terrain was concrete or more jagged the grip was good but anything smooth made them really slippery. I actually fell inside a cave I was exploring because of that. There just wasn't any grip which was surprising giving that it's a vibram's sole. The only other issue was that the shoelaces have a tendency to become untied very easily and I found myself retying them at least multiple times a day. I'd recommend putting in a different pair of laces for that reason. Overall I'd definitely recommend them as long as you're aware of the drawbacks. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10219435-merrell-mens-moab-ventilator-hiking-shoe](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10219435-merrell-mens-moab-ventilator-hiking-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
