FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab 3 series generally offers a comfortable fit, but for significantly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or look for specific wide-fit models if available.
How long do the Merrell Moab 3 hiking shoes typically last?
With proper care and regular use on varied trails, the Merrell Moab 3 shoes are designed for durability and can last several seasons of hiking.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Kinetic Fit ADVANCED footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles.
What is the purpose of the bellows tongue?
The bellows tongue is designed to connect to the shoe's upper, creating a barrier that helps keep moisture, dirt, and debris from entering the shoe.
How do I know if my UK size 7 is the correct fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug but not tight, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
What does 'MOAB' stand for?
MOAB stands for 'Mother Of All Boots', indicating the shoe's capability and comfort for extensive trail use.
Are these shoes good for backpacking?
Yes, the comfort, support, and durable construction make them suitable for backpacking trips, especially for those who prioritize immediate comfort and reliable performance.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the bellows tongue is properly sealed and check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean the shoes as debris can sometimes affect waterproofing.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the Vibram TC5+ outsole of mud or debris. For extremely slick conditions, be aware that no outsole guarantees traction on all surfaces.
Discomfort or pressure points after initial wear
The Kinetic Fit ADVANCED footbed is removable. Try wearing the shoes with different sock thicknesses or consider an alternative insole if discomfort persists after several uses.
Shoes feel stiff after drying
Avoid drying shoes near direct heat. If they feel stiff, conditioning the synthetic materials might help, but often they will soften with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These hiking shoes are ready for the trail straight out of the box, requiring no initial setup. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. To care for your Merrell Moab 3 shoes, clean the synthetic mesh upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove the insoles and clean them separately. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
