When you're hiking, biking or working under a hot sun, the last article of apparel you want to shed is your boots. Well, almost the last. Fortunately, the Moab Ventilator Mid is like air conditioning for your feet. Mid-height uppers are Dura leather with lots of exposed breathable Ventilator mesh. Breathable mesh linings and bellow tongue. Rubber toe bumper and heel counter, Vibram Multi-Sport Plus sole provide the protection, support and traction you need when the action heats up.
great boots!
I purchased the Moab's as I needed a shoe that would breath well and also dry quickly. We (my wife and I) were doing a trip in the Gila Wilderness NM that required over 70 stream crossings in a 20 mile stretch. From the reviews I read it looked like the Moab's might fit the bill. The fact that they were offered in a wide size was another plus. These shoes did great on that trip, they were comfortable right out of the box and required very little break-in. They were wet for the most part of two days straight. The remainder of our trip was at higher elevations with lots of climbing- they worked remarkably well for that portion as well. I never had so much as a hot spot the entire six days! Since then they've been used on two other backpacking trips, one that saw three 20 mile days with lots of elevation gain/loss. I've been very impressed with the Moabs, very comfortable shoe, lightweight, breath and drain well and holding up surprisingly well. I'd definitely recommend this shoe for folks looking for a lightweight, comfortable hiker that can take some punishment.
Excellent Boots
Love the boots but I think I am going to upgrade to the waterproof version.
Kick-butt boots that actually fit
I am very happy with these boots. They call them mid hiking shoes but they wear like my old Merrell's from years ago. More recently I had made the mistake of shopping from places that don't offer wide sizes. I have shoes that fit alright but are too long. For real hiking, I got the 12 WIDE and I am so happy. Plus shipping was super-fast and the price was the best online or in any store.
light weigtht and comfortable right away
Had to order on line as most stores don't carry many 13 plus boots. My son is a 12 1/2 or 13 regular foot, and the size 13 boots fit great. He plans to wear them on the Appalachian trail, so hope they hold up! shipping was fast and not problems.
Great Gift!
I recently purchased another pair of these boots for my son. He likes them so well he now wants me to order a pair for his girlfriend as a graduation gift.
