Merrell Women's Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot, Bungee Cord, 9.5 W US

I have been planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro since the beginning of the year and have been training in the Moab 2 for months. I was not certain that these boots would work, but so happy that I did not invest money in buying a more expensive boot that was recommended. The Moab 2 boots did the job! My feet stayed dry for 9 days. The Vibram soles prevented slipping and falling many times that I was on the climb. After my summit, I donated my boots to one of the crew members who needed a better pair of boots. So happy to know my Merrells will be reaching the summit many more times to come. They should be the #1 hiking boots and I will invest in more!

These are amazing. I wore them around my apartment a few times to break them in but they didn't even need it. Fit was perfect- I got the same size as my running shoes. I did an 8 mile backpacking trail, half of which was a very wet riverbed and these are truly waterproof! I was on rocky trails, steep inclines and lots of wet clay and I didn't lose my footing once. Merrell for life!
