Whether we're slogging through mud or sloshing along water crossings, the Merrell Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Wide Hiking Boot keeps our feet nice and dry. The tough, mixed-material upper features a supple leather exoskeleton for lasting protection, mesh panels for enhanced airflow, a gusseted tongue that armors our feet against muck and debris, and a breathable membrane that keeps wet conditions on the outside. As we venture farther along new trails, the aggressive lugs bite into and stick onto whatever we stride over, while the midsole's heel cushion and arch shank stabilize every landing.
