Merrell Men's Moab Drift Strap Hook-and-Loop Sandals beat the heat with ultra-air conditioning-like comfort Stay cool, calm, collective--and dry on steep climbs in the warmest of climates thanks to the sandal's ultra air-conditioned features! You get lasting support and cushioning from the compression-, EVA midsole with Merrell air cushion technology in the heel that absorbs shock as it stabilizes the foot, while the nylon shank provides arch support. A combination of leather and breathable mesh inserts on the upper ventilate air, while the padded, neoprene lining treated with Aegis for odor resistance, helps keep your feet dry and fresh. Plus, three hook-and-loop straps let you customize the fit. Add in the M-Select Grip rubber outsole and you've got sure-footed traction on wet or dry terrains.

Suggestion: Order a whole size larger. Remedy for SHORT laces.
I like the shoes...But. The arch support hits in the correct place. I like the way the soles feel sturdy yet flexible. The mesh is lightweight, very breathable for summer, and for walking in water. I ordered a half size larger than my normal size (7.5) based on reviews, but the 8 still wasn't large enough. I returned this pair, and ordered an 8.5. Hopefully, my toes won't rub on the shoe in the next pair. As other reviews state, the shoe laces are so short that you can't tie them in a bow. I think that a square knot will be ok. But really, Merrell should use longer shoe laces.UPDATED to 5 stars on 6/10/25. I bought this: Merrell Women's All Out Blaze Aero Sport Hiking Water Shoe,Black/Aventurine. The laces that came with the shoes were so short I could only tie them in a knot, not a bow. I contacted Merrell directly. They are reimbursing me with a check for the extra pair of laces I bought on Amazon, which are 50". I think 48" laces would be OK, too. The shoes came with 41" laces. I am so happy that Merrell chose to reimburse me because it shows their integrity. I've worn Merrell shoes for years. Thank you, Merrell, for your good customer service.

Comfortable Out of the Box
UPDATE: Wanted Khaki as second pair and SO HAPPY that the color received was consistent with the small thumbnail image. The larger image had black (which was OK, but not exactly what I wanted). Posting picture to see what was received when ordering Khaki. These too are excellent…right out of the box.I’ve been looking to replace an older pair of Merrill shoes with Vibram soles and finally found it. Lightweight, great room in the toe area and super comfortable. They are advertised as water shoes but great for daily walking use. Great support and stability. Color is great (black with light aqua trim). The laces could be a little longer (I like to double tie my laces to avoid tripping on an untied shoe) but after wearing them for a few days, they haven’t come untied at all as the laces have decent grip and hold. Ordered another pair in a different color. Highly recommend.

Merrell always win for me
I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I've had a few different styles of Merrell shoes that I have always loved... these are just as comfy, breathable, lightweight, wide toeboxed and they didn't take any time to "break in" as I wore them directly to work and had no issues. My ONLY possible issue, is that it's uncomfortable for me to wear without socks, as I hate socks. This is due to the stitching inside near my toes that catches my short toenails when I walk. This is a bummer for me as a person who wears their other Merrells sockless with no similar issues. Purple is my favorite color, so extra props for that!Worth buying and trying.

Love Merrell, these are almost perfect
Really love the look of these and actually bought another color as well. The shoes are so cute with light socks which is good because they can't really be worn comfortably without socks. The inner stitching and material is not really smooth or soft enough for bare feet which is the reason for the 4 stars. Arch support is there but not overly so and the cushioning of the foot bed is minimal. I highly recommend sizing up and size up even more if an extra cushioned and/or supportive insole is needed. Shoelaces are super short as others have mentioned so I just threaded the ends back through along the other laces and wear these as slip-on. Overall I love the mesh style and look of these and would recommend overall.

New style not good like the old style
In 2021 I bought the original Merrell seive pull on no lacing necessary. Absolutely loved them! They fit so perfect, vibram foot was awesome, just slip on & go. Got so many compliments.But 4 years later they're done in. Alas! they seem to have discontinued that style. Now they suggest these lace up enclosed shoe. Why? Why did they discontinue a wonderful shoe style and replace it with just a lace up shoe?

Purple and Comfortable! Win!
I'm really enjoying these shoes. Purple is my favorite color, so I was happy to come upon these. Comfortable and light. The mesh helps keep feet cool and helps them dry out faster. Fit is as advertised. Pricey but worth the money.

Sized small, buy half size up
Love these hiking shoes, and they’re probably my all-time favorites! Buy at least a half size bigger than your usual size
