Merrell Damen-Wanderschuhe Moab Speed 2 GTX

These shoes are light weight and comfortable right out of the box. I love that they come in a 10.5 size so many manufacturers skip from 10 to 11.

I wore these boots for a 7 day hiking trip in the Balkans (Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro) - walking / scrambling 7-10 hours a day on mountain trails. I walked on dirt, mud, gravel and rocks with no slipping or water issues (it rained one day). Boots have a roomy toe bed, are extremely light weight, required zero break in, and fit snuggly on my thin ankles. I bought cushier inserts but decided not to use them because it was unnecessary. Absolutely recommend.

These Merrell boots are comfortable right out of the box. Throw them on and go hiking.

After trying on one brand of boots for two weeks I was not satisfied with their fit. I returned them to the REI store in VA Beach and purchased a different pair. So far I am very pleased with the new boots. Exchange was easy, service and assistance excellent.

Comfortable, good support and grip. Haven't tried it in water so can't comment on the waterproofing
