The shoes' cushioning provides excellent shock absorption, reducing fatigue and strain on my feet, even during extended periods of standing or brisk walking.One of the standout features of the Moab 2 is its exceptional grip. As a paramedic, I often find myself treading through slippery surfaces, uneven terrain, and even climbing over obstacles. These shoes offer incredible traction on various surfaces, from wet pavements to rugged outdoor landscapes, ensuring I maintain stability and confidence with every step. The Vibram outsole is a game-changer, delivering reliable traction and grip, especially in emergency situations where time is critical.Durability is another key factor that sets the Moab 2 apart. These shoes are built to withstand the demanding conditions that come with emergency medical services. Whether it's navigating debris-filled areas or enduring harsh weather, the Moab 2 stands strong, providing long-lasting performance without compromising on comfort. The reinforced toe cap and heel counter add an extra layer of protection, safeguarding my feet from potential impacts.Moreover, the Moab 2 incorporates breathability features that keep my feet cool and dry, even during intense situations. The ventilated mesh lining prevents excessive sweating, reducing the chances of discomfort and odor buildup. This is crucial, especially during long shifts where foot hygiene is essential.In terms of fit and sizing, the Merrell Men's Moab 2 delivers a true-to-size experience. The shoes offer ample room in the toe box without sacrificing a secure fit around the heel and midfoot. This balance ensures that my feet remain stable, reducing the risk of blisters or discomfort during high-intensity movements.In conclusion, as a paramedic, the Merrell Men's Moab 2 has proven to be an indispensable asset. Its exceptional comfort, reliable grip, durability, and breathability make it a top choice for professionals like me who rely on their footwear to perform optimally in challenging environments. These shoes have truly become my lifesaver on the job, and I highly recommend them to fellow paramedics and anyone seeking footwear that excels in both performance and comfort.

I go through a lot of boots because I hike, walk a lot and work in my nursery while wearing boots. I previously ordered a pair of Free Soldier boots which were much less expensive and very comfortable but the soles didn't adequately support my feet over time. I re-developed plantar fasciitis. I decided to order these Merrell boots despite the cost and they change everything for me. I wear custom orthotics so I bought a size 12 boot for my 11 1/2 foot because of the added space they take up. The boots are extremely comfortable and easy to put on and take off, considering these are tall boots. Once you work them in a little, all you have to do is loosen the top two rows of laces, unzip the sides and pull the velcro strap back. When you put them back on you get a tight, secure fit and barely notice you have boots on your feet. They feel light but supportive and do the job on technical trails. They have been water tight for me so far and I wear them in all kinds of weather. I also where them in the dead of summer. Highly recommend.

I have worn Merrell boots for decades. I have bought their hiking boots and worn them out, one pair at a time. When I saw that they made a tactical boot, I had to try a pair. For me, I had to buy one size larger (Under Armor and Danner were the same way). I wear a 12 Wide, so I bought a 13 in these and they fit perfect. The only issue I had was when tightened and tied, the side zip isn't as effective as other brands, Rocky and 5.11 to be specific. I have to untie them to use the side zip. It is not too bad of a problem and it is easy to get around. They are comfortable, and have great ankle support, which is why I wear this type of footwear. I would buy these again in an instant.

I am a correctional officer, and consequently spend a lot of time of my feet. My previous pair of boots had completely broken down, the insoles no longer offered any support, and it was causing a lot of foot pain (I have high arches). I own a pair of Merrell Moab 2 hiking shoes and really like them, so I was happy to see that they also made a boot that was more geared toward LE. I have had these boots for approximately 5 months now, and the following are my pros and cons:Pros: Quality construction all around, including the zippers, great soles that provide traction on any surface and thus far, show no major signs of wear after spending hundreds and hundreds of hours walking on asphalt and concrete, they are actually waterproof when used reasonably (I wouldn’t expect that they’d keep your feet dry if you’re standing stationary in water up to your ankles, but work for walking through puddles, rain, etc), fit snugly enough to provide foot and ankle support, but not so snug that they are uncomfortable, the factory insole and general shape of the footbed seem to be geared toward people with high arches, which is great for me, well ventilated for a water resistant boot (my feet don’t sweat excessively in them).Cons: This isn’t a knock on the boot at all, but I did have to switch out the factory insole for aftermarket ones due to needing more arch support, just something to be aware of if you also have high arches, they developed a squeak the first time I wore them on a rainy day (eventually subsided, but annoying), the soles are very firm and definitely aren’t a soft “tennis shoe” style soleIn closing, I’d recommend these boots to any LE/Corrections/Security. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars was that they did not alleviate my foot pain to the degree I was hoping, but they are definitely a comfortable, well-made boot

Use for work and good for everyday wear.

Bought these for hiking before I started security work and they worked awesome keeping my feet from getting too hot during summer and too cold during winter all while keeping your feet dry from the outside. Dry fairly well but airflow while you're wearing them can be lacking causing sweaty feet, but that's the trade off you make for waterproofing. As for security work they're equally good for indoor use just as outdoor use, and feel comfortable standing so day in then. Break-in period is a bit worse than most boots and I'd definitely buy these weeks before *having* to wear them to break them in a little. But I'd say otherwise amazing boots.

Duraderas y cómodas, un poco complicado sacarles brillo, sin embargo una vez que la piel se cura súper fácil lustrar.

lmuy comodas a decir de mi hijo ya que fue un regalo para el.

Good quality, fast delivery, the size is half a size bigger than the normal size. Thanks

¡Otro producto de excelente calidad MERREL!Espero que me dure tanto como otros de sus productos...
