Review on Optimized Search: Merrell Ontario Hiking Dragonfly Shoes for Little Boys' Outdoor Adventures by Jason Glass

They fit well and cover the ankles well but other reviews put me off saying they aren't waterproof so I decided to give that a try before letting the kids wear them on the trail. I used a garden hose to mimic a rain shower. The first drops were repelled by the fabric, but very soon the paper I put inside got wet, especially where the suede meets the mesh. I didn't even need much water from my artificial rain to get wet. They will never survive a real downpour or "survive" by stepping in a puddle. Too bad they look very breathable and therefore comfortable.
