I had been looking for tactical shoes that would fit my feet for a long time. I probably tried about 15 different pairs, but with all of them the last felt too narrow, or the toe box was not roomy enough. Interestingly, there is even a separate wide-fit version of these on the US market, but fortunately I didn’t have to order them from that far away. So I recommend these for users with wider feet. The numeric sizing is a bit unusual, so it is definitely worth checking the size chart on the product page. The shoes I usually wear are mostly size 42 or 43, but with these I needed 44.5. The shoes are soft on the inside and fairly warm. I haven’t tried them in winter conditions yet, though. I also can’t give a rating for the grip of the soles yet, because the weather hasn’t really been very slippery so far. They do keep water out, however, so there’s no need to avoid puddles. The zip on the side of the shoes would be nice if it worked the way it was probably designed to work. However, I still have to loosen the laces whether I open the zip or keep it closed. In some of my shoes, a similar zip makes it possible not to undo the laces, but to keep them at the right tightness and pull the shoes on and get them ready to use quickly. In these Merrells, it really doesn’t work the same way, so the laces have to be undone and tied every time. The shoes do not have a quick-lacing system, so this reduces ease of use. The laces have to be tightened one loop at a time so that they stay at the desired tightness. They loosen easily, so tying the laces requires accuracy and patience.

Merrell Moab 3 8" Tactical Zip Waterproof Boots - Dark Olive
Tactical boots with a durable construction in Dark Olive. The high, reinforced upper is made from a combination of high-quality natural leather and textile mesh fabric. The model is equipped with a waterproof membrane and a side zip placed on the inner side. Suitable for uniformed service work, tactical operations, and as universal field footwear.
Combination of durable leather and breathable mesh
The upper is made from a combination of durable leather coated with a waterproof finish and lightweight mesh. The mesh-type material reduces the weight of the footwear while increasing breathability and wearing comfort. The moulded arch reinforcement and mesh collar stiffen the entire boot structure and improve comfort during extended use. The high-set gusseted tongue protects the inside of the boot from dirt getting in.
waterproof membrane, Cleansport NXT technology
The model is equipped with a waterproof membrane that limits water and moisture penetration into the inside of the boot while ensuring very good breathability. Cleansport NXT technology reduces the formation of unpleasant odours.
Comfortbase insole, Merrell Air Cushion midsole, Vibram TC5+ outsole
The Comfortbase insole combined with the EVA foam midsole provides good stabilisation and fit. An additional air cushion in the Merrell Air Cushion midsole absorbs shock while also providing maximum support for the foot, effectively stabilising it and protecting it from impacts.
The cushioned Vibram TC5+ outsole and the contoured tread support stable movement in the field and very good traction on various types of surfaces. Additional protection for the toes and heel is provided by an extra layer of TPU material and the overmoulded part of the abrasion-resistant rubber outsole.
quick lacing
The boots are equipped with durable laces threaded through sturdy eyelets that allow quick lacing. A small loop is placed at the back of the upper and, together with the robust side zip, makes the footwear easier to put on and take off.

Vibram TC5+ is a type of rubber sole characterized by very good traction and grip, both on wet and dry surfaces. In addition, it protects the foot from uneven terrain and cushions any impact.
Comfortbase is a contoured, ergonomically designed insole that provides full heel support and flexibility in the midfoot area. It reduces foot and leg fatigue during prolonged wearing of shoes. With a system of channels and holes, it provides adequate ventilation.
Merrell Air Cushion is a midsole with extra air cushion that absorbs shock when walking while providing maximum support to the foot. This translates into greater comfort, control and stability needed for outdoor footwear.
Cleansport NXT is a technology that uses microorganisms to neutralize odors by naturally breaking down organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently fused to the fibers of the materials, where, when they come into contact with the organic material (sweat), they activate and produce enzymes that fight the bacteria responsible for the odor. This ecological process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort even during the most intense activities.

Super comfortable! Size chart correct. Ultra light yet feels like tough pair of boots! Can't wait to try them in really harsh environment! Strongly recommend!

The shoes are very carefully made and perform well on almost any terrain. The sole is thick enough to protect the foot well from uneven ground and stones, while at the same time the foot can still breathe freely. I recommend them because they are worth their price.

Great shoes, in my opinion among the best. They are really worth buying — I highly recommend them because they are exceptional and provide a lot of satisfaction in use. I believe everyone should consider them at Militaria.
