Scarpa Rapid XT Approach or Merrell Moab 3 for Hiking
My current hiking shoes are The North Face Vectiv Fastpack Futurelight https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/p/futurelight-540773/mens-vectiv-fastpack-woven-futurelight-shoes-NF0A5LX5 , and we are not getting on. Looking through my shoe collection, I found an older pair of Scarpa Approach shoes, which I stopped wearing for some reason (maybe because the sole was getting worn down), yet I always found them really comfortable; well, I think so ... memory not so good.
Anyway, I am not looking to replace the North Face shoes, and the toss up is a new pair of Scarpa Rapid XT approach shoes https://scarpa.com/products/rapid-xt-the-all-around-shoe-72697-350-1(I like the firm fit, and they suit my hiking here in Western Australia (a lot of tracks going from rocky to sandy) and what appears to be the really popular Merrell Moab 3 https://www.merrellaustralia.com.au/products/merrell-moab-3-j00005783-310?ref=aUNtP5 .
I know this is hard to judge, but if you are a Merrell Moab 3 wearer, do you find them a firm, supportive fit for your size? The North Face Vectiv Fastpack do not tick that box for me.
Thanks in advance
