I wore the Moab Ventilator Mid in Fallujah, Iraq for 6-months during spring and summer. The temperature was almost 125-degrees on the hottest days. The Moabs kept my feet dry from perspiration and performed well on all types of terrain including gravel, sand and asphalt. I also use them for working out at the gym, including walking on the treadmill! I'm returning to Iraq or Afghanistan within the next 60-days and I have ordered another pair of the Moab Ventilator Mid, because Merrell recommends them for both hot and cold climates. I give the Moab a 5-star rating for use in extremely hot & dry weather (if I deploy to Afghanistan and they also perform well in cold & wet weather, I'll give them a 6-star rating).

This is by far the best boot you will find for the $. Great value! I have owned my pair for 2 years. I wear them to work everyday in a construction setting. 40-60hrs a week for 2 years and they are just now beginning to break down a bit. Im actually here to shop for another pair. Great job MERRELL on a great boot! You have a very happy customer. Maybe you fine folks at MERRELL could construct a true work boot? If so, I'd be first in line. Just an idea

This is a great boot - lightweight and comfortable. I generally wear a size 13 dress shoe and a size 14 in skechers; in this boot I required a size 15. I wish the boot was available in brown.

We appreciate your input on the sizing of this style. We normally recommend true to size with this pair but each shoe fits each foot differently. Check out our waterproof and Gore-Tex versions for more color options.

My Moab Ventilator Mids were a great purchase. I was able to use them out of the box without any problem. They have served well while doing long desert hikes in Arizona, and now that I am in Southern Colorado they are even better. I have never used a better pair of boots in Canyonlands NP. Now that I am experiencing my first winter back in Colorado in some time I need the Gore Tex version. My current pair are plenty warm enough but not waterproof. For 20+ years Merrell's have been my "go to" boot. My kids are now wearing them with great success.

We are so excited to hear Merrell is your go-to brand for both you and your family. The Gore-Tex version will be perfect for the colder weather in Colorado without sacrificing comfort or fit. Thank you for the great comments.
