FAQs
Is the Merrell Moab 3 waterproof?
The standard Moab 3 uses breathable mesh for ventilation. If you require full waterproofing, ensure you are selecting the GORE-TEX version of the Moab 3.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the suede and the shoe structure. Clean by hand with a soft brush and mild soap.
What is the lug depth on the outsole?
The Vibram TC5+ outsole features a 5mm lug depth for optimal traction.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Kinetic Fit ADVANCED contoured footbeds are removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if needed.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab series is known for a generous, accommodating fit, though specific 'Wide' variations may need to be checked based on local availability.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels less supportive over time
The Kinetic Fit ADVANCED footbed is removable. Replace it with a fresh pair of insoles if the cushioning has compressed significantly after heavy use.
Shoe surface getting dirty easily
Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede leather to create a protective barrier before your first hike.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
The included recycled laces are textured for security; ensure you are using a double knot if traversing particularly dense brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Moab 3 is designed for instant comfort, no extensive break-in period is typically required. To ensure longevity, follow these care steps:
Cleaning: Remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush after every hike.
Stain Removal: For the pig suede leather, use a suede-specific cleaner and brush; avoid soaking the material if possible.
Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place near direct heat sources like heaters or radiators, as this can degrade the adhesives and leather.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
