The declared waterproofness is only theoretical. After walking through small puddles, the socks are soaked. The membrane lets water through even after using waterproofing spray and does not protect against moisture.
Merrell MOAB 3 Mid Tactical Waterproof Boots - Dark Olive
Tactical boots in a Dark Olive hue, crafted from robust natural leather and tough mesh fabric. The exterior is treated with a protective PU coating. Ideal for uniformed services and suitable for daily urban or outdoor use.
M Select DRY Membrane
The model is equipped with a breathable M Select DRY membrane, which effectively protects against moisture while ensuring proper ventilation. Profiled arch support and a mesh collar increase comfort and reinforce the construction of the shoe.
Comfortbase Insole, Vibram TC5+ Outsole, Merrell Air Cushion Midsole
The Comfortbase insole, combined with an EVA foam midsole, ensures a snug fit and stability. The shock-absorbing Vibram TC5+ outsole with an aggressive tread provides excellent traction and stability on a variety of surfaces. The Merrell Air Cushion in the midsole further absorbs shock, stabilizing and protecting the foot. Toe and heel protection is enhanced by an additional layer of TPU and a durable, abrasion-resistant rubber overlay.
Quick lacing system
Special inserts in the tongue prevent small debris from entering the shoe. Durable laces threaded through functional eyelets allow for quick and easy lacing. A pull tab at the back makes it easy to put on and take off the boots.

These are already my second pair of shoes from this brand – the previous ones, after a few years of use in various conditions, are starting to wear out. They were very durable, so I decided to buy the same model again. I sincerely recommend them.
-
Choosing footwear is an individual matter, but for me these shoes are perfect in terms of fit and comfort. After a few days of use, I bought a second identical pair. I wore them for about 10 hours a day and during that time I didn't even feel them on my feet. Definitely worth recommending, and service at militaria.pl is always fast and efficient.
-
The footwear is comfortable and light, but I wouldn't exaggerate the claim that they are waterproof. After a walk in a dewy meadow, my feet were wet. I don't know where the membrane is that's supposed to protect against water.
-
This is the latest model from this series – I also used previous versions and have no complaints. The shoes are lightweight, comfortable, and suitable for every season. I recommend them!
-
Merrell has clearly lowered the quality of their products. For this model, the waterproofing is okay, but the breathability is zero. After a few days of hiking in damp forests, your feet are so blistered that your toenails fall off. If they get dirty with mud and soil, they are impossible to clean, and after a few washes, they deform at the front, the GoreTex begins to delaminate, and the sole starts to come off a bit. Maybe they're okay for a short drizzle in the mountains, but promoting them as combat boots is a joke.
-
The shoes are solid and durable – this is another pair of this reliable brand that I own. They provide great support for the foot and are very lightweight. They are perfect for tough conditions and are waterproof.
-
The Merrell MOAB 3 Mid Tactical Waterproof model is indeed elegant and practical in the field, but it also has its drawbacks – especially the excessively stiff upper part of the boot, which presses on the leg. The solution is to lace the shoes one level lower, which improves comfort. The tongue of the shoe is also unnecessarily thick, which increases the pressure on the ankle.
-
I definitely give five stars – the product matches the description and serves well. Most importantly, the shoes are waterproof and perform well during mountain trips and in other conditions. I recommend them.
-
They work well on cold and rainy days, they keep warmth well. I don't know how they'll handle severe frosts, but for Polish winters they are suitable. The soles work well on slippery surfaces, they are flexible, and tying and untying works flawlessly.
-
I recommend ordering two sizes to try, because size 42 in these shoes fits more like 41.5. As for waterproofness and breathability, it's hard for me to judge.
-
The shoes give the impression of being solidly and well made, they are warm and definitely waterproof. I don't have a clear opinion on breathability. It's a good idea to order two sizes or even consider three for size 42 feet. With a 26 cm foot length, size 42 turned out to be unsuitable – so I recommend ordering at least two pairs, although it is a bigger expense.
-
When it comes to breathability and air circulation, these shoes are the weakest among all I've ever used. Just half an hour walk in the city during autumn and the sock is completely wet from sweat, even if the shoes are loosely tied. They may be comfortable, but due to constant moisture inside, wearing them is not comfortable.
-
No need for a long review – quality and comfort at the highest level. I have a heel spur and in these shoes I can function freely. Great stability, sizing 100% accurate. As always, big plus for Militaria for fast delivery and good packaging.
-
If anyone needs shoes for the mountains, I highly recommend this model! I was specifically looking for hiking shoes and I was not disappointed – I use them daily because they are very comfortable. I walked in them on trails like Śnieżka, Szrenica, and Giewont.
