Further, while the shoe does a fair job on descents, it's a step down from a serious hiker like our Salomon X Ultra 3’s angled tread that bites into the ground at the heel. Since I first pulled on a pair of their Trail running shoes I’m happy to say that overall quality has improved massively. The waterproof low-top model adds 2 ounces for the pair, which is competitive in the traditional hiking shoe market. With good waterproofing, a durable upper, and plush padded midsoles, I know what I’d pick up if I was out on a stroll.

One of the more noticeable changes with the Merrell Moab 2 is the addition of two silicon bands built into the upper material that run lengthwise around the inside and outside of the foot.

Hiking boots are critical to your comfort and performance on the trail, but this no longer means a stiff and burly model that will weigh you down. Our only notable performance-related complaint is that the shoe felt surprisingly squirrely and hard to trust while hiking over wet rock. Offering great support and cushioning, as well as popular styling in various colourways, Merrell have the perfect outdoor gear for you.

On a lighter note, people with various foot shapes are going to feel comfortable inside the shoe's toebox.This doesn’t bode well for carrying heavy loads with this shoe, without much support you’re at risk of rolling your ankle.

If you’re not too concerned about the weight of you boots consider the Keen Venture Mid WP, which offer more stability and fantastic support for marginal increase in weight (a few ounces).
