The Merrell Moab 3 in Falcon is your go-to hiking companion when you want comfort, rugged reliability, and eco-conscious design—all in one.

The women’s version steps up with a mesh-and-pigskin upper, reinforced Safety Toe, and a Bellows tongue that shields against dirt and debris.

What really stands out is the upgraded cushioning and the grippy Vibram® TC5+ outsole—one you can count on even on slick or rocky paths.

These shoes feel great right out of the box, thanks to a contoured insole and plush midsole. The Merrell Air Cushion in the heel also absorbs impact, while the Super Rebound compound is built to last and smooth out your stride down to the midfoot.

Whether you’re powering through roots or misty slopes, stability and traction remain trustworthy.

Note: If you’re gearing up for wetter or more rugged hikes, consider going for a waterproof version—this model is breathable but not waterproof.


Pros

  • Soft, comfortable ride with no break-in required
  • Excellent trail grip via Vibram TC5+ outsole
  • Eco-minded: recycled laces, webbing, and mesh lining
  • Reliable support system—heel cushioning, molded arch, torque-resistant midsole

Cons

  • Heavier than running-style hiking shoes (around 1 lb 10 oz per pair)
  • Lug pattern may struggle in mud or loose gravel
