How does the Moab 3 GTX differ from the Moab 2 GTX?

The Moab 3 has a softer, more cushioned midsole, a more supportive Kinetic Fit ADVANCED insole and more recycled materials. The GORE-TEX membrane and Vibram outsole carry over.

Is the wide fit much wider than the standard?

It adds room across the forefoot and midfoot for broader feet or thicker socks. Shoppers with average-width feet often find the standard fit better.

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

The GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof and breathable, so rain and puddles stay out while sweat vapor can escape. Water can still enter over the collar in deep water.

What is the Moab 3 GTX best for?

Day hikes, wet-weather walks and light backpacking on mixed terrain. The weight and warmth make it less ideal for fast summer hikes.

Do they need breaking in?

Most owners wear them comfortably on the first hike. The suede and mesh upper softens with use.

What comes in the box?

One pair of shoes with the removable Kinetic Fit ADVANCED footbed already fitted. No spare laces or insoles are included.

Our take on the Merrell Mens Moab 3 Gtx Wide Fit Walking Shoes

The Merrell Moab 3 GTX Wide is the wide-fit version of Merrell's bestselling hiking shoe, built for hikers who need extra room across the forefoot. It pairs a GORE-TEX waterproof, breathable membrane with a pig suede and mesh upper, a Vibram outsole, and a softer, more cushioned midsole than the Moab 2. The Kinetic Fit ADVANCED footbed adds reinforced heel cushioning and medium arch support, and recycled laces, webbing and lining cut the environmental footprint. Owners praise the out-of-the-box comfort and grip; the main complaints are weight and warmth in hot weather.
