Shoe Size: Felt true to size

Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support
I have wide feet with low arches. I am a mild over-pronator. I use shoes around the yard and for casual wear. The Moab Ventilator was a near excellent fit in both size and width. The arch support was perfect for my pancake flat feet. My problem was what I think is a support post or shank in the instep which dug into my foot as I walked. I returned these shoes as this was slightly painful.

Initial feedback is positive. Quick review: shoes feel great right out of the box. I will be using for a combo of work/casual and light hiking/backpacking so more to follow on durability. Sizing up 1/2 size was definitely the right call. Had concerns about potential customer service dropoff post acquisition, but ordered about noon EST yesterday and selected standard "free" 5-7 day shipping and, as had always been the case, order was at my front door when I arrived home this afternoon. Reaffirmed Zappos as the undisputed leader in selection and customer service.

Really was not happy with these shoes and gave them a fair chance. Everyone was raving about Merrells so I figured I would try them since I work on my feet in outdoor conditions and also enjoy hiking. The traction and ventilation was great on the soles, but overall I found them heavy and clunky. After wearing them around for the day I could not wait to get home and get them off, which I don't yearn to do with other shoes. Forget about style with these as well. Zappos is still amazing with their return policy and customer service and I will definitely continue to shop here.

So far I like the shoe. It's very comfortable and well vented. I'm always a little disappointed how long they last. I had a pair of Merrells 10 years ago and they lasted me 4 years. I can't seem to get 6 months out of a pair of shoes anymore.

This is the third pair of Merrell shoes that I have owned. Both have been very comfortable and true to size. My last pair held up very well, which, besides the comfort, prompted this purchase when searching for a new casual shoe. I would definitely recommend the Merrell brand. I have also purchased through Zappos before and I am very happy with the service which they provide. In the past I had to return shoes which didn't fit right. The return was fast and painless and at no cost to me. I don't enjoy shopping; so for me Zappos excellent customer service and selection is awesome!

Shoe is extremely comfortable and true to size; a true double E width for people who need just a bit more room than a D provides. Good cushioning, excellent traction; this shoe is a hiker's dream.

Very comfortable shoes. This is my second pair. Good for trail running, hiking, and general use. Look good/conservative enough to wear to work. The inside of heel (next to your Achilles tendon) wears out too soon, though.

I bought the 2nd pair of Merrell shoes from Zappos after buying my first pair in town at a sporting goods store. They are great shoes that are comfortable from the very first time you put them on. And it will add I got a much better buy on them from Zappos and they were delivered overnight.

I have flat-feet (over-pronation) and finding comfortable shoes is often a fruitless endeavor. These Moab Ventilators, however, are comfortable from the get-go. There's a nice pivot to the step. Fits true to size.

I have always been a sneaker guy. But when I started having issues with my left foot, a friend mentioned Zappos and the Merrell line of shoes. I purchased these and, boy, was I surprised by how comfortable they were. After 3 days of wearing them, my pain was gone. I am a believer in Merrell and Zappos!

This shoe fit real good with my normal size. It is a good looking shoe and is nice and light. It is quite comfortable except that the arch support is a bit too much for me. However, although it bothered me at first, I guess I am getting use to it after a few weeks and I do not notice it as much. I would prefer less arch support, but I do not hold that against the shoe, that is just my foot. Zappos service was fantastic as usual.

Very comfortable. I only suggest you purchase a half size bigger. Great advice: when you get the product, initially try to wear them at home (don't remove any stickers etc, and don't go outside). You have great option to return the product and request a refund. Great customer service. I am very pleased with every purchase I made. Very accurate.

I decided to try these instead of sandals for the summer. I sized up to a 14 from 13, got old feet spread, I guess. Fantastic shoes! Fit great, very comfortable, good support, lightweight, look good and cool to wear. Zappos service continues to be excellent. I hope "Amazon" doesn't screw up a good thing.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: I have also bought Timberland witch tend to be a tad big on their sizes, Merrill is similar, good for me without having to size up to an E

I find this shoe to be a very comfortable hiking shoe. They\'re good looking and light. They have the same sole as Merrel hiking boots I currently own. I did find them to be sized 1/2 size smaller than my other boots and shoes. Meaning I ordered 1/2 size larger.

I tried on probably 15 different types of shoes before finding these. I have very narrow feet and needed a multi-purpose shoe that would accommodate orthotics, that wasn't too heavy duty or just plain boring. I am very happy with these and wear them almost daily, to work, short hikes, etc. Would highly recommend them.

Great shoes! I use these for school, casual wear, and just about everything else. Very comfortable and supportive. I found that my orthotic insert fit in these and is not crunched at all. Water-repellent for a while. Overall, great shoes. One minor problem, though. Any mud or dirt that you get on the mesh will sink in and stay there. At first I thought it just "disappeared", but I eventually figured out what I just mentioned. They might begin to smell, so make sure you wash them every once in a while. Love these shoes!

I walk about 5 miles a day and I've been walking in Merrells for the past two years or so. I find them extremely comfortable and durable. This is probably my fifth pair? So, I'm obviously a big fan. Not all 5 were Moab Ventilators, but they were close in style and fit/feel the same pretty much. However, there is one thing that really bugs me about Merrell shoes: the laces. First of all, they are too long. I have to tie a double-knot just to keep them from dragging on the ground. When the laces do drag on the ground, the outer shell wears away and the laces become unusable even though the inner laces are fine and the shoes are still practically brand new.

Going hiking in Yellowstone and the Badlands at the end of the summer for two weeks. Purchased these to use instead of hiking boots and trail running shoes. I am working on breaking them in and have worn them for over three (3) weeks straight every day (during work, etc). They are very comfortable. I was amazed at the comfort level of the shoes. I have done some trail hiking and the grip and support is excellent.

I bought these shoes for everyday use here in Iraq where it is dusty and rocky everywhere I walk. So far, I think they are absolutely terrific! The shoes themselves breathe well, which is really important in this hot climate. The insoles are very comfortable while the Vibram soles are very tough and durable, making it so I don’t mind spending a lot of time walking over uneven ground while in these shoes. I found the fit to be slightly to the smaller side - I typically wear a 10.5 to 11 and found the 11 fits me perfectly. If your size varies, you should definitely go a half size larger.
