Poor fit, raw blisters in 40 minutes
Worn once so far for a 40 minute walk around the neighborhood. Developed a bad blister on my heel that also ripped open in that short period of time. Waiting till it's healed before I try wearing again as it's very uncomfortable even with a bandaid tho other shoes are fine. May not be able to wear these again as the fit seems to be different that my last 2 pairs of Moab 2. Those were comfortable right out of the box and worn daily till the soles wore out. The portion of shoe at the back of heel I think should be taller and cup the heels from the sides as well. The laces do not come back far enough either. Feels like these shoes do not hug my feet at the heel like the competing brand I just bought and love. Should've just bought them and skipped the Moab 3.

Amazing Shoe and Color Combo
I recently purchased the men’s Moab 3 shoe. I have worn several pair of these shoes over the years (including the Moab 2) and they have always been great shoes. They are comfortable and sturdy. I recently ordered the Moab 3 in the Black/Beluga combo and it is absolutely stunning looking in person.
