Review on Merrell Mix Master Jam Running Shoe: The Perfect Fit for Kids of All Ages by Dave Brummet

My son usually wears Keens shoes and they last at least three quarters of the school year. He really liked her style and color. As I'm a fan of the Merrell brand (I have some) and based on the good reviews I bought him two pairs a half size apart as kids that age grow so fast. School classes begin at the end of August. By Thanksgiving, the shoes were falling apart, with holes in the upper mesh in multiple places. He switched to a new/larger pair (which was a good fit until then). They've already started falling apart in the same way, and it's not even Valentine's Day yet. At $45 each, the shoes lasted less than 90 days. Not the best value for money.
