Fit depth guide

Merrell Moab 3 is a high-volume hiking shoe for many trail walkers. If you already wear Merrell or similar hikers, start true to size.

Socks change the call: thin liner + hiking sock may still be TTS; heavy wool often needs half up. Prefer Merrell wide SKUs for width rather than going long and losing heel hold.

Versus Newport H2: sandals solve length vs bumper clearance differently — do not copy sandal half-up onto Moab blindly.
