Review on Merrell Work Men's Moab Vertex Mid Waterproof Comp Toe by Josh Long

Revainrating 3 out of 5

GOOD BOOTS FOR WORK BUT NOT FOR ALL WORK

Bought a few days ago. The feeling was comfortable and my legs/whole body immediately took to them. As I walked around the house for several hours, I thought I had a winner. No! I wore them to work for the first time and they suck. I work in a warehouse and we use a pallet jack for most of our 8 hour shift, hauling loads of several hundred pounds. With a load of over a hundred pounds plus the weight of the cart itself, it was almost impossible to move because the non-slip soles wouldn't stick to the concrete floor and constantly broke traction. Trying to start without traction made the job extremely difficult. I tried the 'Merrell Havoc Wells Moc' which I had on hand while expecting to give birth last night with GREAT success. These soles have NEVER once lost traction. The only problem is that Merrell Havoc Wells moccasins do not tie and are not safety shoes. Maybe, just maybe, if they put a Merrell Havoc Wells Moc sole on these boots it would all be GREAT.

Pros
  • Rubber Sole
Cons
  • Minor
