FAQs
Does the Moab 3 require a break-in period?
No, the Moab 3 is famous for its out-of-the-box comfort, allowing you to wear them on long hikes immediately.
Is the Moab 3 waterproof?
The standard Moab 3 focuses on breathability. If you require water protection, ensure you are selecting a specific waterproof variant.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and compatible with most aftermarket arch-support inserts.
What surfaces is the Vibram outsole best for?
The Vibram outsole is highly versatile, providing excellent traction on rocky, loose, and packed trail surfaces.
How do I find my size?
Merrell sizes generally follow standard UK sizing. We recommend matching your current running shoe size, though you may prefer a half-size up if you wear thicker hiking socks.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long hikes
Ensure your laces are properly adjusted. Use different lacing techniques like 'heel lock' to prevent the foot from sliding forward.
Accumulation of moisture inside
Remove the insole after your hike and stuff the shoe with newspaper or a moisture-wicking towel to pull dampness out overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Moab 3 shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, rinse with cool water and use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh soaps or machines.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
- Insole Replacement: The supportive insole is removable. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they fit the internal volume before replacing the stock insole.
