Merrell Chameleon Access Waterproof Boot Boys' Shoes in Outdoor Review

I have mixed feelings about shoes. My daughter wore the smaller size and she loved it. Since she got bigger, we bought the same model but in a larger size (7.5). The fit was just as good and she loved it at first. However, after a few weeks of moderate hiking, the sole has started to wear down and her feet now feel like something hard is going through the sole.

Not what I expected. Returned due to fit. My granddaughter had the same ones and they weren't very good for walking - they slipped over rocks and looked more like tennis shoes with big rubber toecaps.

My daughter's socks are completely wet despite the description saying they are waterproof. We bought for this very reason, but they are not waterproof.

My daughter has been wearing these boots for 4 days and they are already starting to tear. The laces don't fit, are too loose and don't hold up.

They are excellent as hiking shoes, durable, flexible and comfortable shoes. However, we were very disappointed that they didn't keep our feet dry! Completely soaked! I unfortunately find it unfair that they are advertised and labeled as waterproof when they are clearly not waterproof. I have contacted Ebay customer service and I hope they can find a good solution for us.

Bad quality, used. Thanks for attention! Now I buy shoes and clothes in the store and not on Ebay. Paid 50€ for it and it's not worth it.

Great walking shoes for kids. And if you're hesitant to pay for shoes he or she will outgrow in a few months, send them to school in them like I did to make your money worth it.

My daughter loves these boots, she's been using them for a while and they've held up quite well. It's Merrell so I'll be sure to buy larger ones for future use.

They're not even remotely waterproof. They couldn't even endure the wet grass without completely soaking my kids feet, let alone the rainy forest hikes we bought them for. I felt terrible because my feet were dry in my Columbia running shoes while all three of my kids had cold and wet feet in these 'waterproof walking shoes'.

Considering they are made for 6 year olds the quality and comfort is superb! I like them better than my own Merrills, which look the same but don't feel as fancy. My son is very picky about shoes and clothes in general and he loves it.

Received these as a gift for my son. Unfortunately, they were clearly not new. When opening the packaging there was dirt on the soles. The fingers were dirty. Will definitely be returning this.

Bought these for our granddaughter when she plays with the neighbors kids on a sleepover weekend. She wears them in the stable, at the pond and through muddy puddles. I throw them in the wash and they are like new!

Bought these shoes for my daughter to go hiking. There were spots where it was wet and the shoes let water through right through. The shoes fit well and there have been no complaints of pain caused by the shoes themselves. We did some tough hikes the first two days of the trip and they held up very well.

I was looking for shoes without laces. This one was described as having an 'alternative closure', which to me meant the child didn't have to tie their shoelaces. I literally went back and ordered the same shoe twice due to an inaccurate description.

Our children LOVE nature. These boots are great for hiking. My son wears them to school and says they are comfortable. He's in all-day kindergarten. Great grip and great boots

Boots supporting Merrell's name. Aside from sending you the wrong size, they are great. They match the big brother, so it's all good. I'm not sure if you need to make sure you enter the US size or if it was a mistake, but I received the European size

Great shoes for hiking. Strong grip. Continuous. Waterproof (good for accidentally getting into swamps and streams). Machine wash and dry. Come out like new every time!

Bought for my daughter on a hike. Loved them, the durability was excellent, even got stuck in a few showers and their feet were never wet. Merrell is a great brand, prices were cheaper compared to Ebay!

They have a nice streamlined look and the lashes are very thin, light and strong. Everything if the materials seem new to me. Better, lighter, stronger. These are lightweight and durable shoes.

I bought these shoes for my 6 year old son and he loves them! We have taken these boots on hiking trips and they hold up really well. The profile and overall quality of the shoe is what I would expect from Merrell. My son loves playing in the creeks which usually gets his shoes wet. These shoes will get wet if sufficiently submerged in water, but they dry fairly quickly in front of a fan. Late in the evening the bright orange accents are very visible which is an added bonus for visibility. My…
