Moab Speed 2 High Top Hiking Shoe (Women)

I love every pair of Merrells I have ever purchased but not this model. I ordered two pair for golf and they hurt my big toes so bad I gave up trying to break them in. I tried thin socks, thick socks and no socks to no avail. They are sitting in the laundry room reminding me to contact Merrell about a refund/replacement.

Great in sand, gravel, uneven terrain, and on slick rock. Good grip, not too heavy, decent ankle support while still being flexible, and kept feet dry when encountering puddles. I sized up a half size in addition to the wide width and I'm glad I did. Took 2 hikes to break in before a bigger backpacking trip.

I purchased my Merrell hikers for work in my flower field. During the winter months, I typically wear boots out there, but for the shoulder seasons & especially summer months, I needed lighter shoes for running around...planting, harvesting, weeding, hauling... I have been breaking these in + absolutely LOVE them so much! They are incredibly comfortable but rugged enough that they can withstand the bumpy terrain. They are light enough that they don't overheat my feet in the heat like boots do + provide great support for the amount of steps I take every day out there. Best decision ever to buy hikers for farm work!
