Those among us who enjoy outdoor activities like walking, hiking and camping know that footwear and apparel brand Merrell is a go-to for premium shoes that help your feet stay comfortable, supported and active on the trails. While this high-quality footwear doesn’t come cheap, we’ve got great news: There’s a customer-favorite waterproof hiking shoe available for 30% off right this second, ready to accompany you on your adventures regardless of the weather.

Merrell’s Moab Speed boot is part of its Moab product line, which originated in 2007 with one bestselling hiking boot that continues to top hikers’ wishlists to this day. The Speed offers the support and comfort that the Moab is known for with a lighter-weight fabrication that’s built for, well, speed, thanks to a “floating” foam midsole and an overall weight of 10.4 ounces per shoe.

Other things to like about this shoe: The protective Gore-Tex upper offers your feet shelter from the elements whether you’re sloshing through creeks or the sky decides to open up mid-hike. It also boasts a high-traction lug sole (made from 30% recycled rubber) that will grip the terrain whether it’s dry, muddy or completely sodden, and it hits around mid-ankle height for added support.

If you’re on the hunt for a new pair of hiking shoes that won’t weigh you down on the trail, you might want to check out this sale. You can see what some reviewers at Merrell.com had to say about the style or just add these to your cart before this sale dries up.

“Just did a 5-mile break-in hike. Super comfortable and great traction support. The mid rise is perfect for ankle protection. Excited to take the boots for longer hikes.” — Drsue  

“These Merrells hiked Mt Katahdin in Maine. Waterproof, great traction, lightweight, supportive, true to size, no blisters or hot spots!” — Tiara  

“Wore my Merrill’s to hike all day in Mt. Ranier. We hiked through grass, ponds, snow and over cliffs and these boots did not disappoint! Comfortable yet rugged and kept my feet nice and dry. I highly recommend these boots!” — Anonymous  

“Very comfy and light. I ordered because, lately, i seem to be constantly rolling my ankles, as i step on certain rocks. These give me stability, yet they are light and not overly hot and heavy, Really happy with them and love the colors yellow and gray.” — Audrey M.

Before You Go

If Your Leather Bags Aren't Waterproofed Yet, Buy This Right Now
Sofsole mink oil(01 of07)

Vincent Rao Jr. of Vince’s Village Cobbler considers mink oil highly effective. He said it is "one of the oldest and most traditional weatherproofing and protective waxes." He does, however, recommend that you only work with this kind of wax if you have prior experience with weatherproofing fine leather goods. Check out some YouTubes and find an old bag you don't use anymore and practice your technique before moving on to your newer pieces. We found this highly-rated mink oil from shoe-care brand Sof Sole on Amazon. (credit:Amazon)
Kiwi Select All Protector spray(02 of07)

This convenient and effective spray is a great to quickly and easily repel the natural elements while also protecting leather from stains. It's very highly rated and reviewed, and comes from Kiwi, a brand that Rao recommended. (credit:Amazon)
Moneysworth & Best Pro-Tex Nano water and stain protector spray(03 of07)

"Another notable product is Moneysworth & Best’s spray," Rao said, nothing "[it’s] versatile enough for almost any material or color." It has an innovative formula that is long-lasting and can protect leather goods from water and stains easily and quickly. (credit:Amazon)
Sno-Seal all-season leather protector(04 of07)

According to Rao, "Sno-Seal is an excellent product for tough calfskin leathers, but its application can be intricate. It demands heat during application, ensuring proper absorption and efficacy." It's a great option for keeping water out while still letting leather breathe. Check out YouTube for proper guidance if it's your first time out the gate. (credit:Amazon)
Meltonian boot and shoe cream polish(05 of07)

Rao says that off-the-shelf leather wax polish like this one from Meltonian incorporates "weatherproofing chemicals, offering dual benefits of shine and protection." It comes in a wide range of shades and is a nice way to keep leather items looking fresh over time. (credit:Amazon)
Kiwi no-buff nourishing cream(06 of07)

Similarly, Rao also recommended this polish from one of his preferred leather-care brands, Kiwi. Not only is it great for recently purchased items, but it can breathe new life into older shoes, bags and other leather items. While a cream like this might not be as heavy-duty as a spray or other type of balm, it's a good option for those of us who are nervous about damaging our items. (credit:Amazon)
Apple Brand Garde rain and stain repellant spray(07 of07)

I had to include this highly-rated option from Apple Brand as an editor's pick. It's actually designed specifically to adhere to fine leather goods, without altering their existing texture and shades or leaving behind any unwanted residue. A quick scan of Amazon reviews yields a veritable boutique’s worth of designer brand names whose leather goods have benefitted from the protection of this spray. The spray acts as an invisible shield against everything from scuffs to water to body oil or salt stains. Its sealing powers cause liquid and messes to bead up on the leather’s surface where they can be wiped away in an instant, all without interfering with the breathability of the material.
