Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Moab 3 is designed for adult hikers who prioritize out-of-the-box comfort and versatility on a wide range of trails. As one of the world's best-selling hiking shoes, it provides reliable traction, waterproofing, and impact protection for both casual hikers and experienced trekkers. Note that while the mid-cut silhouette offers excellent ankle support, it may feel bulkier than low-cut trail runners for those strictly focused on speed.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the waterproof membrane and durable leather construction provide good protection in cold, wet conditions, though they are not insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Moab 3 follows standard UK sizing. We recommend leaving about a half-inch of space in the toe box to account for foot swelling during long hikes.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be swapped for custom orthotic inserts if needed.
Do I need to treat the leather before my first hike?
The shoes come treated from the factory. You do not need to treat them initially, but applying a leather-safe waterproof conditioner after several months of use will extend their life.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, do not put your hiking shoes in the washing machine. Harsh detergents and high heat can ruin the glue and the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Feeling excessive pressure on the ankle.
Adjust the lace tension at the lower eyelets to allow for more flexibility while keeping the top hooks snug for support.
Water appears to be getting inside the shoe.
Ensure your socks are not soaking up water at the ankle opening; if the exterior leather is saturated, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after cleaning.
Outsole losing traction.
Check if the tread is clogged with caked-on mud; wash with warm water and a firm brush to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Moab 3 is known for its immediate comfort, no complex break-in period is required. However, we recommend wearing them on short walks before heading out on long-distance excursions. To ensure longevity, clean the leather exterior with a soft brush to remove dirt and grit after every hike. If the interior becomes wet, air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather or waterproof membrane. Periodically check the outsole for embedded rocks or debris to maintain optimal grip.
