I finally got a discount on a pair of Merrell Moab II Mid Ventilator. These are very popular shoes and like never go on sale or have discounts applied. I got 20% off through ID.me.

I have a lower cut version of those..., very nice

It's interesting that the Gore-Tex models are consistently cheaper and frequently on sale.

I wear these but unfortunately I’ve never seen them on sale. I’ll use my REI rebate in January to off-set some of the cost.

You didn't show your size but Moosejaw has those at @ $180.

Only in dark gray/navy. My feet are picky about the color.😁

I'm about halfway through my second pair of Moab's

Nice!

I have had four pairs of the lower waterproof version of these and was a no brainer when time to replace. Unfortunately, Merrill messed up the shoe when they went from the Moab to Moab 2. While the size was a correct fit, they deleted one of the two metal eyelets at the top while retaining the 4 fabric loop eyelets. That missing eyelet and slightly lower top was enough to not secure the foot with it's legendary "like a glove" fit, and my heal would ride up and down. Might have broken in over time but would have too much wear in the process to return, so immediately returned.

I was going to say I have those boots, but @Tizeye makes me think I may have the I, not the II. Now I’ll have to dig them out of the closet later to check.

Some have been dissatisfied with v. II when compared with v. I.  The revision happened a while back. I bought direct so I should get the "latest greatest" if any exists. There's always a risk that a company will exploit the name recognition they achieve. The reviews are generally good, though.
