Merrell’s legendary Moab style is the brand’s most popular boot as well as the best-selling hiking shoe by any brand on Amazon. It’s also my personal favorite, always strapped to my feet whether I’ve been trekking through snow in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, on the sunbaked trails of Death Valley, or over the verdant hills of the English Lake District. The shoes are beloved for their durability, protection, and out-of-the-box comfort. And this Memorial Day, you can get them on sale for half off.

Merrell Women’s Moab 3 Hiking Shoe

The third iteration of the Merrell Moab has the same look as its predecessors, with a breathable mesh and leather upper, super-grippy soles, and a gusseted tongue that keeps water and debris out. Its upgrades include improved arch support and more cushion, a Vibram TC5+ outsole for better traction, and more partially recycled materials. The Moab 3 debuted in the fall of 2022 and has so far racked up more than 1,300 five-star ratings at Amazon, with more than 200 pairs purchased just last month (that’s at least six pairs daily!).

“Merrells never disappoint,” one reviewer wrote. “These hikers are well made, solid feel, stiffer than a tennis shoe but not as stiff as a heavy hiking boot. The arch support feels great. I put them on when they arrived in the morning and wore them the whole day — no problem!”

Right now, the women’s Moab 3 hiking shoe that’s normally $90 is on sale for as low as $45, and the men’s style is on sale for about $80 compared to $110 with the Memorial Day markdown for a total savings of 30 percent.
