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

Yes for most hikers. The Moab 3 adds a more supportive insole, a softer midsole, a grippier Vibram TC5+ outsole and recycled materials. If your Moab 2 still fits well and grips, the upgrade is not urgent.

This standard Moab 3 Mid is not waterproof. Merrell sells a separate GTX version with a waterproof membrane if you hike in wet conditions.

How does the sizing run?

The Moab runs roomy, especially in the toe box. Many buyers take their normal size, but those between sizes or wanting a snug fit often go down half a size.

What is the best price right now?

$99.98 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, the lowest of the 7 stores listing it new. That is well below the typical $140 to $165 list price for this boot.

One pair of Moab 3 Mid boots with the removable Kinetic Fit Advanced footbed already fitted. No extra insoles or care kit are included.
