First impressions of the Merrell Moab Edge 2 Hiking Boots are interesting because this doesn’t look like a Merrell hiking shoe.
Instead, it looks Merrell designed a new sports shoe that also happens to be ideal for heading out into the countryside.
So which is it? Do you get a sport’s shoe with a little more protection or a hiking shoe with a little more comfort?
The Merrell Moab Adventure Hiking Boots looks like the sort of basic, rugged boot that you can throw on, mess up around a hiking trail, throw in the cupboard, and then repeat for many years.
The materials and features are familiar without getting too extreme. So, does this mean that the boots have wide appeal?
However, the makers are sure that wearers will be able to take advantage of the decent and different features in a range of situations.
They certainly look great, but will women want to go hiking in them regularly?
The Merrell Forestbound Hiking Boots look like your typical rugged hiking boots with a no-nonsense approach. There are a few different styles and colour options to help you find your best option.
But, they all have the same simple specification for long hikes. Are keen walkers impressed with what they receive? Or, are there areas where Merrell could improve in the future?
One thing that instantly stands out about these Merrell Capra Gore-tex Hiking Shoes is that there is a much more relaxed look than you get with a more traditional hiking boot.
There is a synthetic upper with mesh panels, a low-rise shape and a sole that looks more like that of a training shoe.
That said, there are still some key points in the specification. So, is this more reliable for any keen walker than you might think?
