Are the Merrell Moab 3 effective in ensuring stability on rough or uneven surfaces?

Question

While hiking on uneven terrain, how stable are the Merrell Moab 3 boots?

Answer 1

It is equipped with added support built into the ankle for stability on uneven turf. While it isn’t the most stable when compared to other costa more expensive types of hiking shoes, it’s viewed as comfortable enough and over-delivers at its price point.

I used my moab 2 mid for about a year while serving with a conservation corps in colorado. I absolutely beat the crap out of them, in four season weather. Anything from chainsawing in the snow to spraying herbicide on cliffsides in the middle of summer. They performed beautifully in all these conditions. They are still my favorite boots.

Have had about 4 pairs of MOABs. Hiked all the NH 4000 footers in them. Just bought a new pair to hike Mt Washington.

I use the mid-height Moab 3 and love its light weight. It’s easily the second best shoe/boot for non-winter use that I’ve used(and the best, the original Brasher boot from 1982) is no longer made… But my UK boots don’t have that vibram sole and I really wish they did. The mixed sole I have is proving too soft and is wearing out quickly.
