Review on Merrell Trail Quest Hiking Sneaker for Kids by Gary Stringfield

Initially pleased with these shoes but after only three months they are wearing a lot more than they should. The fabric around the upper is frayed on all sides. However, what worries me the most is the wear and tear on the metal loop that the launch passes through. The hinge is failing and looks like it will break soon rendering these shoes unusable. Update 3/2021: Velcro failed, shoes fell apart, didn't even last a year. Super disappointed!
