Great shoe!
My son is on his 4th pair of Moab Ventilators. He says they are the most comfortable shoe around. The shoes are good for everyday school wear and then they take him backpacking all summer! Great traction, never too hot, and they look good!
great shoes
great every day shoes but rugged enough for light hiking. i have a wide foot and these shoes are very roomy and fit well. very comfortable and can be worn all day long. have had other merrell shoes and they wear well and are long lasting.
Hiking not running
I bought this shoes for hiking small places mostly. Its been wonderful so far. Its been almost been a year, the shoe is in great shape. Very comfortable and light. These shoes run a bit tight and small. So get 1/2 size larger than your shoe size. It has good cushion, and back foot support. I would not recommend this for jogging or running. But excellent for small everyday hiking.
Great Shoe
The Moab Ventilator is a great fitting and supporting shoe that holds up well to all conditions. The shoe is also one of the few available in a wide width for a resonable price. I bought a second pair to wear to work everyday!
Great fit and ventiliation
I echo what everyone else has said here - these shoes fit great and are wonderful for hiking in hot dry climates. For the first time in years (and likely ever) my feet weren't slimy or clammy after a hike on a really hot day. I have a narrow heel with a high instep and wear orthotics as a result, and I was psyched that these shoes fit over the orthotics without any problem. The only drawback to the shoes is the back of the heel is kind of low, so my foot lifted out a bit while I was hiking - heavier socks should fix this. Also, twigs and grass get stuck in the mesh outer layer, but this doesn't bother me too much. Finally, I didn't pay extra for the waterproof Moabs - I think the lack of waterproofing makes the shoes even more breathable, and if I wanted waterproof shoes I wouldn't buy mesh ones to begin with.
