What are these MOABS like size wise please? Do you need to go a half size larger? Also they are classed as MID height but look quite low in comparison to others makes? Someone added an, interesting comment about Merrells not being as tough as they used to be. I've heard the same comment about Doc Martens that since production moved east from the UK, cheaper materials seem to be used & they don't last like they used to. I'm looking for another boot and MOAB 3 mid boots were recommended. I live in Europe and so far have bought German boots ( Lowa & Hanwag) but they are much more expensive & would be really costly down under with freight..
@FrenzyAdventuresАй бұрын
I am a size 9 AU with most other shoes and the size 9 Moabs fit fine. They are the only mid height shoes I have tried so far and offer good ankle support. I have found them very durable myself and would say that was one of the positives for me. Water proofing still works and they have heaps of tread left... Mind you the tread is not very good on anything slippery.

How the hell do you manage to get your shoe laces caught on the hooks of the other boot???? Mate, you really have to look at the way you walk. There's something wrong with that. I've worn Moab 2's for a few years now and never had that problem. But then again, you should have the lace through the top hook. That's what it's for. To say that it is designed for you not to use that top hook, is a load of bull. If you don't lace them up properly, why not get the shoes instead of the mid boots? Then you don't have that problem anymore. Also, if you don't lace them up properly, you can expect to get blisters because you don't keep your foot snug in the boot and you give it room to move in the shoe, causing blisters. There are knots you can use that will keep the laces tied properly. (look on youtube) Moabs are great for day trips without too much weight on your back. They are not made for long hikes with heavy backpacks. I walk in the Irish countryside and also walk a lot in the Burren, a limestone area, and find them quite good on rocks also. They are not specialist boots, but a good allround boot, also good for the odd scramble.
@FrenzyAdventures4 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. They are decent shoes and I am glad to hear they work well for you. I am still having issues with them, it was only a week ago when the lace got caught in the other shoe and yes they were done up correctly this time. I didn't fall over but it is an issue for me. I guess everyone has different feet and walks a little bit differently. This is just my experience with the shoes but a quick google search on speed lace hooks will show I am not the only one. Anyways I wish you well with your set and hopefully you get many more happy years on the trails with them.

Then you don't have that problem anymore. Also, if you don't lace them up properly, you can expect to get blisters because you don't keep your foot snug in the boot and you give it room to move in the shoe, causing blisters. There are knots you can use that will keep the laces tied properly. (look on youtube) Moabs are great for day trips without too much weight on your back. They are not made for long hikes with heavy backpacks. I walk in the Irish countryside and also walk a lot in the Burren, a limestone area, and find them quite good on rocks also. They are not specialist boots, but a good allround boot, also good for the odd scramble.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. They are decent shoes and I am glad to hear they work well for you. I am still having issues with them, it was only a week ago when the lace got caught in the other shoe and yes they were done up correctly this time. I didn't fall over but it is an issue for me. I guess everyone has different feet and walks a little bit differently. This is just my experience with the shoes but a quick google search on speed lace hooks will show I am not the only one. Anyways I wish you well with your set and hopefully you get many more happy years on the trails with them.
Yeah, I think it's his lacing technique. I double knot mine and tuck them in to prevent loosening during the hike. Plus, my normal stance keeps the laces from getting tangled with the other foot. I wonder if he's pigeon foot?
What's your thought on bigger tyres? I was set to get some 225/75 r16 but now I'm thinking if I should go to 245/75 r16 or somewhere in the middle at 235/75 r16 - not that many tyre options there though just some hankooks and coopers
Yeah I run a 225/75 r16 on my car, they are Falken Wild Peaks with nearly 60,000kms. They perform really well on and off road, the only thing I would caution is fuel consumption. Though I haven't done any math calculations on it I recon I have lost nearly 100km's of fuel range... only really get 400km's to a tank.
@@FrenzyAdventures Nice, would you consider going with bigger tyres for the next set or do you think the height increase benefits won't be worth it?
@@ghp0518 Yeah I don't think it would be worth it. There are a lot of forums where people have put on the next size up though with great success.
Why are you driving off-road with road tyres on,put some good BFGoodrich off-road tyres on.
I am sure he will put off road tyres on it eventually but there is nothing wrong with running road tyres for some light 4wding.
What an absolutely gorgeous spot. I think is one of your best videos in a while! Loved it!
