Review on Waterproof Hiking Shoe for Kids - Merrell Kids' Chameleon 7 Access Low a/C by Ryan Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The top is not waterproof.

Not waterproof. I spent $46 on fully waterproof shoes and got almost regular running shoes. My son doesn't wear rubber boots, so I figured this would be a great option for everyday wear in any weather. Whatever the lightweight mesh on the shoe's upper (where my finger is in the photo) it feels like regular old-school shoe material and will absorb. My son's feet got wet after walking through the puddles. Totally dry around the ankle so I know it didn't hit the tip. So disappointed. I don't understand how some people can claim they are waterproof, I just think that their children don't actually dip their shoes in water. Everything else about them is correct.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Wrinkled packaging
