Merrell Ireland

Merrell was founded in 1981 in Vermont with a specific focus on hiking footwear. The Moab series, first released in 2007, has sold over 25 million pairs globally and remains one of the most recommended hiking boots in long-distance walking communities. 

Performance models use either M Select DRY (tested to 10,000mm hydrostatic head) or (Gore-Tex indicated as ‘GTX’ in the model name). Most performance models use Vibram outsoles, which deliver significantly better grip on wet rock than most proprietary rubber alternatives. The range covers hiking boots, trail running shoes, sandals and outdoor apparel for men and women on gender-specific lasts. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Merrell a good brand for hiking boots?
Merrell was founded in 1981 in Vermont, with a specific focus on hiking footwear. The Moab series (2007) has sold over 25 million pairs globally and is among the most recommended hiking boots in long-distance walking communities. OutdoorGearLab consistently places Merrell in their top three for value in the mid-range hiking boot category (€100–€180).
Which hiking boot brand is best?
It depends on use case. For multi-day backpacking, try Meindl, Scarpa and La Sportiva. For day hiking and light trails, Merrell, Salomon and Columbia are great. As for technical alpine terrain, try Scarpa or La Sportiva. If you have wide feet, the Meindl Comfort Fit range and Keen will suit. Independent review sites including OutdoorGearLab and Switchback Travel update comparative rankings annually; we advise checking these before any significant purchase.
What's so special about Merrell shoes?
Three consistent features distinguish the brand: (1) M Select DRY membrane: tested to 10,000mm hydrostatic head; (2) Vibram outsoles on performance models: significantly better wet-rock grip than most proprietary rubber; (3) Air Cushion heel: a sealed impact-absorbing chamber. The Moab range is lasted on a medium-wide fit, suiting a broader range of foot shapes than narrow European brands.
Are Merrell boots waterproof?
Performance models use either M Select DRY (tested to 10,000mm hydrostatic head) or Gore-Tex (indicated as 'GTX' in the model name). Non-GTX models carry DWR coating only which is adequate for dry conditions but not sustained wet terrain. The GTX designation is the reliable benchmark for full waterproofing.
Do Merrell boots run true to size?
Generally, yes, but Merrell tends to run slightly narrow through the toe box compared to Keen or Meindl Comfort Fit. Customers with wide or high-volume feet often size up half a size, particularly in the Moab and Siren ranges. The Moab Speed and Moab Flight lines run slightly longer than the standard Moab 3.
