Merrell Moab Flight Review: A comfortable workhorse for the trails
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- The Vegan Friendly Merrel Moab flight is a cushioned trail shoe built primarily for cushioning and comfort out on the trails. The midsole used FloatPro foam for a balance between soft cushioning and responsiveness, and it’s covered with a Vibram outsole that uses 30% recycled rubber.
Tom has been testing the trail shoe out over 50 miles of running to see if it's worth investing in and how it could fit into your trail shoe rotation.

Thanks for this review Tom.
Finally retiring my Merrell’s I’ve had for FOURTEEN years. Orders these from Amazon last night (before seeing this) for $99 plus tax. This morning, price changed to $149! Crazy. I’m excited to try these out. Thanks for the video.
Blimey. They sound like they earned their keep. Great price on the shoes, hope you like them.
I love this shoes
I wear them everywhere
I'm hoping to do a fastpacking trip next summer from Nantes to Brest. Mainly canal towpath with some offroad sections. These look like they would be good. Also considering the Nike Peg Trail 3, NB More Trail and On Cloudultra.
These shoes float on my feet. I just ordered another pair. I agree that these seem to hold in more heat though.
Great review, I currently work in the Mediterranean region and run in similar conditions, dry hard packed conditions with plenty of small to medium rocks on the path….Nike Wild horse/Salomon Ultra Glide do great in this aspect. What are your thoughts on Inov-8 Ultra 300 for Croatia trails??? Thanks in advance
Going to pick these up for running winter road and some trail in Canada. Hope it fits the bill for snow (sometimes slush) covered roads in -1 to -30 c temps. All it needs to do, is not absorb splashing slush like a sponge. You know...when the leading foot strikes the ground and the other foot swings past just in time to receive a splash.
I definitely don’t expect waterproofness, nor do I want it. Not a big fan of goretex runners. I’d love to see more water resistant options for borderline freezing wet, slushy days.
Thanks for the review!
My feet get to hot in Gore-Tex shoes.
On sale right now for 50 bucks from the Merrill site, was able to pick it up for like 36 with promo codes. How'd they hold up for you? Can't wait to get them in, and thanks for the info!
I wear the Merrell Nova 2 for work and I love them. How do these compare to the Nova 2?
Got mine for 60 using them at Disneyland parks here in CA walking 17+ miles a day has been a breeze!
What should I choose please? Moab Flight or Speed?
Would these be a good shoe for Nursing? I’ve had problems in the past with plantar fasciitis. Thank you in advance : )
Hi 👋
My feet measures 28cm/11inches with socks. What size should I get? Can I get the size 12? Because unfortunately, size 11 is sold out
Would these do ok for treadmill and trails? Trying to minimise amount of shoes I have
Should I buy this? I mostly run on paved/cement road and considering to buy this since I also do some trail running, however I'm afraid I'll wear out the vibram soles if I use it on paved road running.
I'd probably suggest going the other way and getting a road shoe that can handle trails. The Nike Pegasus 38/39 is a good option and great value.
Hi mate nice video. Which merrell trail schoes would you raccomand to me for ultra Trail, long distances? Thanks
Thanks Tore, what sort of terrain are you running on?
@@TheRunTesters hello thanks for answer me. A kind of tipical trail terrain some stones, muddy, maybe wet terrain. I was thinking a vibram megagrip and a large toe box. But which model?🙃
Imo, the 30% recycled rubber in the outsole is junk.
In my experience with hundreds of miles walking in Moab 2's with those SUPERIOR rubber outsoles, my Moab Speed shoes with the 30% recycled rubber easily slipped when I walked over any wet concrete, smooth rocks, or surface, etc.
I will never buy their Speed shoes, or any pair, with that cheaper rubber compound again.
No problem with dry ground, though.
I'm so glad you mentioned that. Which leaves me to wonder how you knew that for I was in a Merrells store recently and looked over, and tried out walking in those shoes you are reviewing, and didn't find a way to know if their black rubber was with the 30% recycled rubber?🤔
Please let me know how an average customer could know at the time of purchase???
The shoe salesman could give me wrong information.
Imo, Merrell should quit using this rubber, or make it conspicuous to any buyer that the shoes, boots, etc., are indeed made with this type of rubber.
I'm a HUGE fan of Merrell for many reasons, especially for their slightly larger toe-box, but this needs to be addressed for the good of their customers.
God bless.
How is it on arc support
The arche support for me seems perfect.. supports but doesnt push too hard into your arched
