Merrell MOAB are some of the worst hiking boots I have EVER worn. Crap materials. No comfort at all via foot bed, fell apart right out of the box. Merrell knew it because when I contacted them to return the boots they knew every issue I was dealing with. Immediately issued me their Merrell moccasin which is fantastic. I Only wish the outsole lasted longer.
I love the MOAB but they are 💯 not water proof at all! Even if you are in wet grass it’s too much water for it to handle! You might as well save the cash and not get the WP option.
Had all of them. Now I am the 21st year in my MEINDL ISLAND PRO´s, exchanged the vibram outer sole 2x times and I will use them for sure another 10 years. There are no better hiking shoes from my experience.
I had Merrell Moab hiking shoes twice before, and both times they only lasted three years; the outsole wears out quickly; the sides came apart; and no, they are not waterproof. The Merrell Moab were one of the worse hiking shoes I ever had. I then bought the OBOZ Bridger Low B-Dry Hiking Shoes; and so far they have lasted past four years; with some wear on the outsole, and holes on the paddled ankle lining ( which is normal for me on any hiking shoe I've worn)
The boots in the thumbnail are Lowa Renegades. They are good work boots but DO NOT use them on extended backpacking trips. The material gets loose and you cant stop enough times & tighten the strings to keep them stable. 👎🏻👎🏻

Okay you can't have an "insane pick" it's just a pick of hiking boots Squidley...
Have you tested the Oboz Bridger Low B-Dry Hiking Shoe? I think it would eaily hang with those you listed.

Surprised that Keen is not in your top 5?
I got a pair of Meindl Gufferts on the way 😀
did you try it yet?
Yup, way better than the Moab 3's I have
@@StephenMcGregor1986 good to hear!
Meindl are the best, check out my answer here. I got mine now the 21st year...
Nice video
What are the hiking boots in the representative picture?
an orange shoelace
Those are the Lowa Renegade (mid).
Lowa Renegades. They suck.
Why are the boot laces so long why do they have to have so many do up laces ??
I find it annoying as well but the answer lies in doing a search for “heel lock lacing technique”.
Salewa is the best
Shite don’t last
What does?

Another robot trying to convince me what's best to buy. 🙄 Remember when humans actually tried and reviewed products?
