Is the Moab 3 Waterproof worth it over the Moab 2?

Yes, if you want a softer ride and more support. The Moab 3 adds a cushioned midsole, a more supportive Kinetic Fit ADVANCED insole and recycled materials, while keeping the same waterproof build and Vibram outsole.

How waterproof is it?

It has a waterproof membrane plus a bellows tongue and protective toe cap, so it handles rain, wet grass and shallow puddles. It is not a wading boot, and water can still enter over the collar.

Does it fit true to size?

Most buyers find it true to size with a roomy toe box. If you wear thick socks or have wide feet, the standard width usually works; narrow feet may want to size down or add a thicker insole.

Is it good for hot weather?

It is better for cool and wet conditions. The waterproof membrane traps heat, so for summer hiking a non-waterproof, more breathable shoe is usually more comfortable.

What is the lowest price seen recently?

The best new price is $129.99 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, which is near the bottom of its recent range of roughly $110 to $145 across seven stores.

Can I use it for everyday wear?

Yes. The Moab 3 is comfortable enough for daily walking and travel, though its weight and warm waterproof build make it less ideal as a summer city shoe.
