Excellent boots. good for me

I ordered size 2 but received size 2.5. I don't have to worry as they still fit and I think they will last my son a little longer. They are very well made and do not let water through to a reasonable depth. They are easy to attach if you don't use hook loops. My son doesn't like rubber boots, and in the fall where I live, it often rains before the snow. These mid-size running shoes are a good compromise between warmth, water resistance and a "sneaker" feel. My son says they have a really good…

Pros
  • loved her!!! Very well done 👍🏻 You look amazing!!! 100% recommended!! I will buy again!
Cons
  • Shoes may not provide adequate arch support for some children.

Great shoe, it would be better if it closed with velcro.

Good product. My child lives with them. Biggest downside, it had to have velcro to close the shoes. At this age of 5, they can't tie their shoes.

Pros
  • I liked them a lot but they were too big 😔
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with coordination problems.

Suitable for adult feet

I am an adult female 7ft tall and a tall child of 5.5 fits me perfectly. A great option if you don't want to spend $300 on hiking shoes!

Pros
  • I've tried cutting the knot and not damaging the boot but the son says it still bothers him, that's his only complaint.
Cons
  • Uncomfortable, not enough pillows and runs small

Broke on first wear

Buy Merrel for the first time. I went to put my shoes on for the first time and used the heel wrap and it broke! Very disappointed with the quality of the shoes. I have not worn it at all and cannot return/contact the seller.

Pros
  • Fits right, solid product
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with balance problems.

Great boot for hiking and camping

Great boot! My son uses it for scout trips and hikes. They fit well and he has no issues with comfort after running for miles. Well done.

Pros
  • Got them for my junior for scout camping, now he LIVES in them. Don't ever want to take them off!
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with flat feet.

Good but not great in my rating

In general, a good economical children's hiking shoe. The rubber outsole is non-slip. This is not a Vibram composite. The insoles are paper thin so I will be buying my 11 year old a new thicker insoles for arch support. Let's see how it holds up.

Pros
  • Fits perfectly. Great hiking shoe
Cons
  • The gray and periwinkle color scheme may not be suitable for all children.

Great boot. A little bit more

It's FIXED. I ordered a size and a half from my son's last Merrells but they were too small for what we wanted and expected. Went back and ordered a half size up there (only two sizes up from his last pair) and now they are just how we like them. Good shoes.

Pros
  • bought the shoes for my 13 year old daughter, they fit perfectly and are very comfortable, highly recommended
Cons
  • Shoes can be uncomfortable for children with wider feet.

Very happy with my rating

First pair of proper walking shoes for my son. He was very happy about it and experienced a tough trial period with them in his first winter camp.

Pros
  • They were perfect for Boy Scout camp, comfortable and durable.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with high arches.

My preteen loves them. Order 1/2 size larger.

We originally bought a pair in a size to match his sneakers. But they were too small. We ended up ordering 1/2 size up to find the right set.

Pros
  • I love this shoe. Looks great, good quality and fits as expected.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children who need extra traction.

Great shoes for my feet

The shoes fit really well. Half a size larger than old age shoes and they fit perfectly. They are very light and yet very robust. The shoes have already been tested on a number of hikes and I am very impressed. No foot pain at the end of the hike.

Pros
  • They are so comfortable, I love them
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children who require additional padding.

lack of my rating of my rating.

There is no reinforcement on the rivet holding the metal loop in place. Since I bought them for a good price on Black Friday, I decided to fix them myself. Otherwise they seem to be great kids boots. We'll be testing them on the track soon.

Pros
  • The shoes fit my 8 year old perfectly and were waterproof.
Cons
  • The strap broke on my first ride. The soles are very slippery, you have to break them in. Robust and reliable

Not the same quality as adult shoes

I have small feet so I thought I could buy kids shoes that have better color choices and are cheaper. The quality of Merrel children's shoes is not that great. They're probably fine for kids, but adults won't appreciate the lack of arch support and crappy laces.

Pros
  • I bought them as a gift. They fit perfectly and we're confident they will last as long as the previous pair of Merrells.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be durable enough for rough play

Quality work/hiking shoes

Fits as expected and is a quality shoe that works well as a work shoe for youth and adventures in the woods. Easy to clean, leaves no marks on soles and is 3/4 waterproof.

Pros
  • Wonderful. The only place I could find this size.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be appropriate for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Great boots! - my new rating

My 11 year old immediately put them on for a hike in the great outdoors and had no problems. Looks like a decent pair of trail boots.

Pros
  • Large
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with limited mobility.

Good boot, my pros and cons

We bought a size larger than our son wears and they fit great. I think they run a bit small. Our son said they are comfortable.

Pros
  • I was told to put them on and they conform to your feet but it's tricky when they're a bit tight.
Cons
  • Shoes may be smaller or larger than expected

Great pair of hiking shoes!

Pros
  • ankle support. Boy Scout Walks.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with sensory problems.

Not quite x-wide - my new review

Nice shoes, wish they would fit. They are well made and attractive but the wide width is C at best. I returned these. The search for a true ultra-wide waterproof women's hiking shoe continues.

Pros
  • The quality is the same as adult shoes. Love her. I don't have to worry about my baby's legs when walking.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with special needs.

Quality issues in my review.

The inner fabric around Achilles was wrinkled on both boots, but quite badly on the left boot. Would give my kid big blisters during our long hike. That's Merrell's problem. Gave them back and went to the REI. The boots there had the same problem (but not all).

Pros
  • Good for mountain hikes
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children who are walking or who need to walk.

Excellent grip and comfort

The sole of these sneakers is very soft, which makes them very grippy. Smaller feet don't need to be broken in and my kids were immediately happy with the fit. There's a lot of padding, but they still fit well enough for kids to have good control. I look forward to hearing from the kids once they go camping.

Pros
  • Son loves them and they fit him perfectly
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with autism
