Merrell Moab 3 Women's review: what runners say
Fit
Generous, wide-leaning fit: ideal for wide feet, problematic for narrow or standard feet. True to size; heel slippage reported by multiple sources on narrower feet.
Feel
Abundant cushioning and immediate comfort with no break-in needed. Stable platform with Air Cushion and nylon shank; soft but unresponsive ride, feeling heavy compared to modern trail-runner designs.
Durability
Over 300 km with no significant loss of performance on the Vibram TC5+ outsole. Pig suede and mesh upper holds up well; isolated reports of delamination on previous models.
Best for
Day hiking and light trekking on packed trails and arid terrain. Suited for those prioritizing comfort and a wide fit over responsiveness and lightness. Not recommended for technical terrain or running.
Weak points
Weight above category average criticized by multiple sources. Insufficient traction on mud, loose gravel, and steep inclines; wide heel causes slippage on low-volume feet.
