Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Moab Mesa Luxe SE (UK 9.5, Black) is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and durable low-cut shoe for trail activities. Its key benefit lies in blending the iconic Moab's performance with premium updates for enhanced trail heritage. A potential caveat is that it's a low-cut shoe, which may offer less ankle support than mid or high-cut options for rugged terrain. This model features a Vibram® TC5+ outsole and is constructed with premium materials.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance trekking?
While comfortable for day hikes and moderate distances, the low-cut design might lack the ankle support required for very long or demanding treks. Consider mid or high-cut options for such purposes.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to Merrell's official sizing chart, which usually correlates foot length in centimeters or inches to specific shoe sizes. This variant is a UK 9.5.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand clean with mild soap and water as per the care instructions.
What is the main difference between this and the original Moab?
The Moab Mesa Luxe SE features premium material updates and a Vibram® TC5+ outsole, enhancing its heritage on the trail while maintaining the core comfort and performance of the original Moab.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproofing. They are designed for general trail use and may offer some water resistance, but are not fully waterproof.
What type of terrain are these best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for well-maintained trails, forest paths, gravel, and moderate inclines. They offer good grip for general outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure your socks are not too thick. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is correct.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. While the Vibram® TC5+ offers good grip, extremely slippery surfaces can still pose a challenge. Maintain the shoes' tread.
Water seeps into the shoes
These are not waterproof boots. For wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or applying a suitable waterproofing spray. Ensure all seams are intact.
