Review on Stay Dry and Adventurous with Merrell 🥾 OAKCREEK Waterproof Backpacking Shoes and Boots for Unisex Boys by Adam Hutchinson

We tried another Merrell shoe at the REI climbing stand and my child had no grip due to the partial felt soles. When it comes to hiking shoes, grip is absolutely crucial! I bought these after looking at the pictures and was hoping for a solid rubber sole, but when I received them I noticed that Merrell reduced the cost by mixing felt/paper soles with rubber soles. It's similar to what Target and Payless Shoe Source make for cheap quality kids' shoes, but I wasn't expecting that from Merrell.
