Review on πŸ₯Ύ Merrell Kid's Trail Chaser Hiking Sneaker: Durable and Versatile Outdoor Footwear for Young Explorers by Eric Speers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beautiful and spacious!

These shoes are just right for my wide feet! I'm a women's size 8.5 and am struggling to find a shoe that fits me and it took me a while but I finally figured out that for some reason kids shoes are really wide. That being said, going down to youth sizing usually requires some trade-offs in terms of quality and arch support, so I usually fit new insoles. The quality itself was there but I'm only giving 3 stars at the moment because the pair I received had a slight seam fault on one boot that had been rubbed too badly to be worth keeping. I'm waiting for a replacement pair hoping it's that specific shoe and not the design. My biggest thought is that I feel sorry for the child who would have received this because as a parent I may not have been able to empathize with the perceived discomfort of shoes when a child complains about them compared to my own experience. And they might not even know to complain about it! I'll update this as soon as I get a spare pair, they're good enough to keep the one I have for 30 days so I'm hoping to have a perfect pair of two!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A shady purchase for the elderly
