This is already my second pair of MOABs. I started using them on the recommendation of a traveler friend, and they turned out to be a great find in this price range. They are very lightweight, the sole provides excellent traction, they dry quickly, and they offer exceptional comfort, so they perform well right away on longer routes. These are versatile shoes, suitable both for the city and for the mountains from spring through autumn. They go great with both outdoor pants and jeans.

Compared with the regular Moab 3, these shoes are noticeably heavier, which you can feel while walking. The standard Moabs can be worn right away, but these require some break-in time first. Even so, they are quite comfortable, although on hot days they feel noticeably warmer than the classic Moabs. Overall, the shoes are comfortable. After less than a year of use, and considering they were not worn in winter, the inner lining wore through. Shipping, as always, was very fast.

Versatile shoes suitable for various occasions and every season. They are very comfortable, do not squeeze the feet, and the sole provides good grip. I decided to buy them because you can try them on in the store and many sizes are available.

The Merrell MOAB 3 Low Tactical are by far the best shoes I’ve had so far. They offer excellent cushioning, the stride feels springy and quiet, and I use them every day both in the field and in the city. This is not a summer-only model — I wore them in temperatures around 0°C in March and above +35°C in summer, and not once did they feel too hot, so the ventilation works very well. The membrane works as it should, and sand does not get inside. After almost a year of use, the sole still shows no damage or visible signs of wear. I feel that the shoes work perfectly with the foot — they fit excellently, and both the inside of the shoe and the insole have adapted to its shape. It is worth noting, however, that full comfort only came after about two weeks of breaking them in. At first there was one issue: the lower edge of the element with the lace holes rubbed against the area around the fourth toe, and removing the protruding piece on my own was difficult because of the tongue’s construction. Even so, it was definitely worth it. Of course, these are not completely waterproof shoes, but they dry very quickly. I will definitely buy myself a backup pair as soon as my size is available again. I definitely recommend them.

Great shoes for summer – they are comfortable, carefully made, and the olive colour looks very attractive. So far, everything is fine, and after a year of use they will be possible to assess even better. I will definitely buy the next pair in another colour.

I was expecting higher quality shoes - I'm disappointed :( The inner fabric started to wear out quickly, and on one of the shoes the heel pressed through the base (the white base on the photo cracked), now it is uncomfortable to walk and it presses on my heel, the insoles don't help. The sole itself is of good quality and is hardly worn down. Photo attached.

I bought these sneakers here at the end of last summer. I used them as tactical shoes on rough terrain. Plus, the sneakers weren’t my only pair of footwear. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the quality of the brand. The first thing to go was the inner lining—it started to wear out near the heel and in other places. After that, the outer mesh began to split. I used the sneakers gently; for difficult conditions, I wore Salomons instead. I have to give credit to the soles of these sneakers. It seems they are the only part that still looks new. There is a clear mismatch between the price and quality level. This brand used to be impossible to wear out even after years. If needed, I am ready to provide photo and video evidence. The store, as always, operates at the highest level—thank you!

I've already ordered a second pair of this model for everyday life in the city. I'm wearing the first pair right now and have been continuously using them for combat missions for six months. Very comfortable, durable, and stylish shoes. I recommend them.

The shoes meet my expectations. They are very well made (at least at this point). The size is as described, fits perfectly. The store service is excellent—the package arrived the very next day after ordering. I definitely recommend.

Merrell MOAB 3 Low Tactical is perfection in terms of comfort and durability! Incredibly comfortable from the first time you put them on. The sole provides excellent grip, and the Dark Olive color looks great. They work well both on mountain trails and for everyday work – very good cushioning. I definitely recommend them!
-
On the plus side—the shoes are solid and I like them a lot, but they need time to break in. After a 10-kilometer walk, the bend in the shoe rubbed the top of my fourth toe quite a bit.

Based on my previous positive experience with this brand, I bought this model. However, I was disappointed from the start. Firstly—the shoes are heavy (I understand they're not running shoes, but they're really massive). Secondly, very stiff—the sole is like concrete, and even after use, they don’t get more flexible. It’s hard to feel the ground in them. They’re suitable for terrain, but in the city, they’re uncomfortable. On wet surfaces, they slip easily. After two years, a hole appeared near the big toes where the rubber meets the material, so I got rid of them with relief.
-
The shoes are very comfortable. At first, for about two days, they felt slightly too narrow on the sides and I considered getting a larger size, but over time they turned out to be perfect. Others also have this initial impression. Whether in the city, on forest trails, or in the mountains, they are very comfortable. They grip the ground well, although once after coming out of the mud, I slipped on a wet footbridge – but that was probably my fault, as I should have cleaned the mud off the shoes before entering. For people with wide feet, they will be great.

The shoes are great—comfortable, lightweight, and very durable. They stabilize the foot well, provide good grip on various surfaces, and the Dark Coyote color is perfect for outdoor and terrain activities.

Merrell shoes are very comfortable. I previously bought a black pair, and I chose this coyote-colored one for work. The sole is comfortable, and the upper is practical and well-fitted. I test them daily.
