Review on Merrell Boys' Bare Steps Sneaker: Flexible and Comfortable Footwear for Active Young Explorers by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price for a kids minimalist shoe

Bought these on sale for my 5 year old and I love them so much I might go a different size. At a bargain price, they're a great economical option for a minimalist shoe. The sole has decent flex and the toe box has a good width and shape - I ordered both the medium and wide and found that the wide was not needed by my child (whose foot is only slightly wide). I will buy tall models when I see them on sale. Too bad they stop at toddler sizes, too bad they haven't gotten bigger. We've only been using them for a few weeks but so far their durability has been excellent, much better than the Bare Access available for older kids. Make them bigger, please, Merrell!

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
