"Merrell is my go-to for hiking shoes because they always feel comfortable, sturdy, and protective. They sent me the newly launched Moab Flight Trail Running Shoe ($110) to try out, and it lives up to the hype. An extension of its bestselling Moab hiking shoe, this lighter weight option is ultra comfortable across different terrains during hikes. I also find that it provides excellent stability when I'm walking my 120-pound dog." — GF
