Loved her more than his Tevas

Kids can be picky, but they don't have a lot of choices. They bought him a pair of Tevas which he wore but after seeing them for sale I tried them on and he LOVES them. Chooses them for a very long time because they are so comfortable.

Pros
  • Comfortable. Easy to put on and take off. Waterproof.
Cons
  • The material may not be soft enough for sensitive skin or children prone to blistering.

Great shoes but there was a delay in shipping.

The shoes are great. The only problem was that it took over a week for them to arrive. Otherwise they are perfect and exactly as advertised.

Pros
  • My little son loves these sandals.
Cons
  • Shoes broke after less than a month of wearing. So disappointing! I expected more from this brand.

The material is too difficult for a small child.

The quality of the material I was looking for wasn't what I needed, the material was a bit stiff, not soft, more cushioning.

Pros
  • Great sandals for outdoors and water. Too small for me, I would have ordered a size larger.
Cons
  • The straps may not fit securely around some children's ankles, making it difficult to wear.

Expected more from Merrell

We have purchased Merrell products several times for their quality but they appear to be made of thinner material than meets the eye. He has other sandals and they are the only ones that move his foot forward so his toes are always sticking out even though they are his size. A little disappointed.

Pros
  • The 10-year-old boy really liked them. Adjustable in size with Velcro fasteners.
Cons
  • Sandals can be too hard, making little feet uncomfortable.

Good sandals good for me

A little tight on the stripes but very comfortable and easy to put on. This is for narrow legs. I love this brand! always high quality and good price

Pros
  • My girls love them! I only wish they had half sizes too!
Cons
  • The design may not be as stylish as other brands, making children unwilling to wear them.

May cause heel blister.

The only thing I didn't like was that the heel strap caused one of my kids to get blisters. Although plastic can handle it. Also, they are comfortable for my kids and durable.

Pros
  • My son loved these sandals. He wears them all the time. He found these sandals comfortable and beautiful. It was a good choice!
Cons
  • Sandals can be too slippery on wet surfaces, increasing the risk of falls and injury.

Painful feedback from me

These shoes rub the inside of my son's ankle and cause ulcers. No blisters but they chafe the skin. He can't use them and they're brand new.

Pros
  • Seems to be a good sandal but too narrow for my son's feet.
Cons
  • The price may be too high for some families, making these sandals unaffordable.

Painful blisters in my rating

These sandals were very cute straight out of the box and true to size; However, my daughter wore them for the first time and immediately gave her two painful blisters! I hope I can return/exchange them for other water sandals.

Pros
  • grandson loves them!
Cons
  • Although the shoes were marked the same size, one was smaller than the other. I had to send it back.

Quality shoes at a great price

Fantastic shoes at the right price. My girls were so excited to receive them. I know they will be perfect for our upcoming cruise with lots of water activities and sights. I know Merrell is a quality shoe that will last.

Pros
  • These sandals are great for growing dirty boys. Waterproof and super easy to care for!
Cons
  • Sandals may not be as durable as advertised, leading to premature wear.

I like that they are easy to wash

My daughter says that sandals rub her foot and cause blisters. I like that they are easy to wash but wish they were more comfortable.

Pros
  • Treasure!!! Great shoes!!!
Cons
  • Colors may fade or fade with washing

Sent back due to blistering

Merrell shoes are best for support and overall quality, but this particular style caused blisters right away due to the plastic straps. We sent them back and bought Merrell athletic sandals with felt straps.

Pros
  • Bought these for my 11 year old granddaughter and she loves them! Excellent quality and price.
Cons
  • Not true to size. Plus induced blisters.

nothing for wide feet in my rating.

It's a good shoe if you're in the water all day, but it's all plastic and uncomfortable for a child. Nephew complained about the straps and didn't want to wear it anymore. He has a wide foot, maybe that's why. If your child has thin legs, it may be more comfortable

Pros
  • Great fit, super durable, looks great!
Cons
  • Liked the look but too stiff, inflexible and very uncomfortable.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

great shoes in my opinion

My daughter loves these. I like that they have an elastic on the strap. They dry instantly so you can wear them from the river to the mud/sand without the wet straps picking up the dirt.

Pros
  • Continuous. Fits well.
Cons
  • Sandals may not provide adequate support for children with flat feet or other foot problems.

Okay, but look for sharp plastic

Both shoes had some sharp pieces of plastic next to the Velcro straps that we had to file off because they caused abrasions and even teared the skin. Otherwise she loves them!

Pros
  • Great fit, cute, durable sandals
Cons
  • I ordered them in my son's size and they were at least two sizes too big. I can't use them.

Bad quality good for me

My daughter has been wearing them for less than a month and they are already breaking! The medical tape is plastic and already torn into pieces. Not the quality I expected from the Merrell brand. It's a shame to spend so much on a product that will NOT last you all summer - mind you, summer lasts 3-4 months. I want my money back.

Pros
  • Love it! Fits well and hope they will survive our busy summer! Good for the price!
Cons
  • The laces can easily become untied, which can lead to trips and falls.

Great fit but baby feet hurt.

My kids went to the river in them. Hard plastic Velcro straps and aching legs. My kids complained about it all the time. They got stuck in them because I didn't take any other shoes with me. So they only fastened the bottom straps, and the top one had to remain open. I don't like paying for shoes that will never be worn again. My advice is to buy something else.

Pros
  • They are great for my 7 year old!
Cons
  • Sizes can be small, which is frustrating for parents who have to exchange them.

Children's sandals Best

We had two pairs of these. The old ones didn't wear out, but she just grew out of them. After years of heavy use, we passed them on to another child in great shape. Fully adjustable at the top and top, they fit perfectly and she struggles to adjust. I will continue to order them year after year.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Poor quality

My daughter has had them for less than a month and they are already breaking! The medical tape is plastic and already torn into pieces. Not the quality I expected from the Merrell brand. It's a shame to spend so much on a product that will NOT last you all summer - mind you, summer lasts 3-4 months. I want my money back.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Great fit but baby feet hurt.

My kids went to the river in these. Hard plastic velcro straps and sore feet. My kids complained about it all the time. They got stuck in them because I didn't take any other shoes with me.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No show
