I rarely give things 5 stars.  Merrell women's moabs are worth it.  The price was excellent and after wearing tennis shoes out to walk my dog on uneven surfaces, these boots are such an improvement.  They're not heavy on the feet but are very secure, especially around the ankles where the tennis shoes don't provide stability.  The materials and workmanship appear to be top rate.  They were comfortable right out of the box.  I bought a half-size larger than my sandal size and these boots fit perfectly.  Ladies, buy 'em.
