Merrell isn’t known for skimping on functionality, and there’s no disappointment to be had with the M Select GRIP outsoles plus 5mm lugs allowing for adventuring over demanding terrain. Moab 2 has advanced versions with Gore-Tex (Moab 2 Mid GORE-TEX) and waterproof technologies (Moab 2 Mid Waterproof). Such features are absent in Merrell Alverstone, as Merrell created this style for hiking typical trails- rather than harsher surfaces and water bodies. ➤ Merrell Alverstone vs Moab 2 – Design Comparison ✦ Material A robust rubber sole and front-end rubber toe cap also ensure protection for your feet and shoes on the trail.Unfortunately, a few other reviewers seem to question the breathability of this membrane so that you may get a little sweaty on scorching days. However, this combination ensures superior protection from wet conditions.

We performed extensive lab analyses and took all our Merrell shoes on test hikes to find out which was the most breathable. The winner was hands down the Merrell Moab 3 which comes in top place for its superbly breathable upper, grippy outsole, and stability, making it an excellent choice for long day hikes in summer!This outsole works well on slippery, wet surfaces due to the multi-directional grip. With plenty of flexibility plus grip, these hikers can handle pretty much any terrain. There’s no doubt that the Merrell Alverstone Waterproof is a crucial piece of kit for adventurers due to its hiking capabilities.

Merrell Alverstone is a style suitable for new trekkers for its comfortable cushioning. Still, the features fall behind in extreme hiking. Thus, Merrell Alverstone shoes are inappropriate for extreme hiking. 3. Which shoe provides more protection on slippery terrain Merrell Alverstone or Moab 2? It is a common trend to believe that support, specifically ankle support, comes from the high-top cuff of hiking boots. Consequently, it’s common to believe that Merrell hiking shoes do not provide adequate stability because they have low-cut cuffs around the ankle. However, this is simply not true. Low-cut Merrell hiking shoes still offer stability

The Gore-Tex membrane made sure that our feet didn't suffer in the rain, either. Together with a fully gusseted tongue, the waterproofing kept out the worst of the weather, and our feet remained bone dry.
