Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Merrell Girls' Medium Purple Hiking Shoes for Boys and Outdoor Activities by Tony Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made shoe that lasts all winter in tough playground conditions

Well made shoe that I fully expect will look good on the playground next spring after winter! The colors go well with jeans and most tops - not mean! My 6 year old granddaughter loves them. Update: Just bought our second pair. When asked about school shoes for this winter my 7 year old granddaughter said she wanted another pair like last year. So I bought her another pair for the same amount I would pay for sketchers in a department store. They are perfect for the playground: they keep feet dry, they are comfortable and the color matches most of their play/school clothes, without being too obnoxious. And best of all the 1st pair still looked lovely at the end of the year, barely worn! These are shoes for rough and uneven playgrounds! Order about 1/2 size larger than usual as they tend to run a little smaller compared to other shoes. Update 2019. The 2nd pair lasted all winter last year as expected and looked just as good in spring as in autumn. . So we ordered pair #3. I was a bit disappointed that the predominantly dark blue color is no longer available. What's called Navy/Turq is now navy blue with eggplant purple mesh and a bit of turquoise, so it's a more obnoxious color combo that doesn't work with more colors. Color aside these are the same well made and comfortable shoes, which my 8 year old granddaughter likes to wear to school.
