Moab 2 8" Men's Track Shoe

I owned a number of tactical boots, most recently the well rated Magnum Stealth Force 8.0. They all followed the pattern of well, tactical boots: on the heavy side (but not excessively so), on the stiff side (but again not excessively so), with good support and protection, waterproof, and offering good but improvable comfort. Some manufacturers do it better than others, but they all build "pure breed" tactical boots as a class of footwear. Merrell have done it differently: Apparently they have taken their Moab 2 hiking boot, added a couple of inches to its height, added a side zipper, painted it black, and called it a day. The result is an outstanding tactical boot, perhaps sacrificing a bit of protection (just a bit though) but adding tons of comfort and also better traction. I can wear these boots all day without the slightest discomfort. As a bonus I can also see myself using them as hiking boots (which they ultimately are). I finally found my ideal tactical boots. In passing note that in my experience all Merrell boots run a bit small, so consider going half a size up. Also note that these booth do not have a polishable toe. This is not a problem for me, but it may be for others so it has to be said.

These are great quality boots and very comfortable with good level of support when hiking

Bought these in July and stored until September for a quarantined island project I only wore them for a week and the soles have chunks which broke off. The area was rough and dry rocky slopes but to only last one week was a very big disappointment to me I expected more from the brand. I will be trying to get them replaced and not expect them to be used in rugged areas.

I am a long time Merrill customer. These tactical boots are the best all season boots. Warm, dry, waterproof, breathable. We both have a pair and use them for riding our motorcycles. Best grip, so comfortable! If they ever wear out we’ll buy them again!
