I got these shoes for my 1 year old (son turns 2) they are such great quality shoes. I've found that popular brands usually skimp on the quality of shoe soles. These shoes have great traction and are built to last.

We haven't had a chance to put them on our son yet, but as soon as we took them out of the box it was obvious these 'new' shoes had been worn before. The soles were dirty and there was dirt on the treads. Also the inside of the shoes was dirty as if the shoes had been worn once on a hike and then sent back. While I'm sure these shoes are great, they've definitely been worn and returned before.

Great walking shoes for my almost 3 year old son. This is the second pair we have bought. They should be comfortable because he likes to wear them. They offer good grip on rocky and gravel trails. The wide ones seem to fit his foot perfectly.

It's like they took all their adult stuff and made it out of it. They had to make the shoes out of thinner materials so they weren't so bulky. Also, the size was much smaller than other brands, so use their chart and increase the size.

Terrible wear and tear. My child has had these for 3 months and the velcro has come loose, the sides are already worn. I will not buy any more Merrels

We've only had these shoes a month and they're already torn. I had another smaller pair that lasted 2 seasons but they only lasted a month. Revain says the return period has already passed so I can't get a refund or send a new pair. Very disappointed!

My child is very picky about shoes. After trying on over 10 pairs of shoes, he finally said that this pair is comfortable. In these boots, he can handle wet rocks in a tidal pool.

Great shoes for my toddler. However, they are not easy to put on. My day care worker almost gave up trying to force it on my son. When worn, they provide amazing support for little feet and ankles.

Bought these for my 3 year old. He didn't even wear them every day and the laces broke after 5 weeks. Nice shoes but not durable and just flew out the return window.

While my son wears them as slippers (indoor shoes) instead of slippers. It's hard for us to get him out of them! They appear to be well made and seem very comfortable. At this price I'm ordering 2 more pairs for its size.

This shoe has the same lattice construction and support as adult shoes! My grandson has BIG feet for a 3 year old (size 10) and is concerned about the fit of the shoes. They fit well and aren't too heavy for him, although they are more durable than tennis shoes. I'll buy him Merrell's again!

I chose shoes with wide feet. Used foot/scale before purchase. My child came home from kindergarten with a toe injury. I'm trying to increase the size but the manufacturer is being dishonest about the scale.

They fit like a glove. The flexible sole makes it ideal for children's feet. Very well made and arrived quickly. Will definitely order a size larger when the time comes.

Bought these shoes for my little girl. As a family we hike a few state parks and we really like these shoes. Her previous shoes were regular casual shoes. They didn't hold up well on pedestrian surfaces. They work great on dirt and rocks. The treat prevents slipping, especially on gravel roads. Since we used them for hiking, their everyday shoes last longer as they don't get eaten up by the trails. The laces are like a tight rubber band. You may need to pull on the tongue to stretch the shoe…

These are a great pair of shoes! My 4 year old wore it during our week long trip to Yellowstone. During this trip it snowed, it rained, then it got very hot and dry. In fact, we survived all 4 seasons in one week. These shoes are waterproof and will keep your feet dry when it's not raining. The traction was fantastic and my son rode the whole area really well. He climbed wet wooden stairs, wet and dry asphalt, rocky paths, muddy paths and dry dirt paths with ease. The only remark is that they…

FINALLY A SHOE WITH PROTECTION! I've been disappointed in toddler athletic shoes that don't have a tread. We enjoy hiking with our 2 year old and are concerned about how often his feet slip out from under him on loose gravel trails. Not with these shoes anymore. He calls them his "sticky shoes". They seem comfortable because he also chooses them for everyday wear. They seem very well made and I'm not worried that they won't last long. I even had to wash them due to poor potty training and they…
