It almost exactly the same fit as an older Moab I wore every other day for some years. I replaced the insole of that one and it's not even looking worn out on either top or bottom. Based on only that one experience with a Merrell shoe, I think one gets their money's worth.

This new Moab 2 Vent Hiking Shoe is more casual than the former suede topped one because of the mesh. It's more breathable and more casual in appearance.

I don't like the laces and it seems out of character to have such a high performance shoe and not have bungee no tie laces.

Overall this shoe lasts well and the sole is incredible. It's good value.
