Are Merrell Moab 2 mid waterproof?

Is the Moab waterproof and breathable?
We don’t offer a scale of breathability but among waterproof footwear, but the Moab is one of the more breathable options simply due to the mesh paneling. Despite the mesh component, you may still experience perspiration on your feet in some conditions. Helpful?
