Merrell OAKCREEK Waterproof Heather Big_Kid Boys' Shoes Review

Good quality. They don't feel like they're going to fall apart in a week. I was surprised at how strong they seemed when I unwrapped them. Colors as in the photo from the phone. The size is pretty TTS. Would definitely buy again.

My son wears these shoes every day and they are holding up very well. He wore them on a canyon tour last weekend and they worked very well and gave good grip on the rocks. would recommend.

Bought these for my 9 year old for hiking camp in Pocono and they were perfect. She had put them on twice before to break them in, but that was it and the blister was nowhere to be seen!

I bought these for my 9 year old daughter and she is over the moon with how much she loves them - how great they feel (she makes them run faster when exercising, she says) and what beautiful colours. Happy with the purchase! Will buy one size up so we have it when she needs it.

My son loves these shoes. In contrast to other brands, they are in very good condition. I will definitely be using this brand from now on.

My daughter loved these shoes and they fit well. However, they are NOT waterproof. She poured some water over it to test it and her sock got wet immediately. Disappointed with this as I bought these to wear when camping/hiking.

My son rips shoes in a week! They were so dirty after wearing them for about 5 days but I washed them in the washing machine and they are like new again. Very durable. Will be buying these from now on instead of the typical Nike or other athletic shoes that are falling apart.

My son has been wearing these shoes for less than 4 weeks and they are clearly rubbish! Very disappointed. I wonder if they really are Merrells. His last pair of Merrells lasted over a year, he outgrew them.

Bought a pair for my two grandchildren for Christmas, they love it, they said they like walking on air, highly recommend and will definitely be buying them again

Light weight, good padding, suitable for children. Velcro closure for quick dressing and undressing of the baby. I like wide sizes best, even if you don't think your child has particularly wide feet.

First impression seems well made, my son (9 years old) loves the style and matches his school shoes. it's hard for him to wear shoes, so time will tell

Shoes are very light and easy to take off. But I have a feeling that today's Merrells are not as good in quality as previous generations. Not sure how long they will last so fingers crossed they are worth it.

Bought these for my son and he loves them. They withstand very well the combat tests to which they are subjected by children. I will order them again

I actually bought two pairs of these shoes. Rainbow for my daughter and gray for my son. Three weeks later, the rainbows are still in great shape, but the gray ones are falling apart. The sock comes off and the velcro wears out. See photos. For $50 they should last 3+ weeks.

My son wore his toes in 4 days! Knowing Merril is tough I decided to try them but no, they were just as cheap as the name brands.

My daughter wore them on a hike where we did 30 miles and the profile still looks great. This shoe does the job. This brand works well with my kids high arches. Easy to put on. Good all around sport shoe for kids.! She said they were comfortable.

My grandson has wide flat feet. We had to replace his previous Merrell shoes due to wear and tear. These shoes (another Merrells model) fit his foot perfectly. This model is denser. The local shoe store didn't stock better shoes, but they sold an orthotic with a thinner foot pad than the orthotics we use. That additional $45 purchase turned this cheap shoe into a more expensive purchase.

children's shoes were much cheaper. I wear a 7 for adults so I usually wear a 5 for kids. These were sold out. I bought a 4.5 wide side hoping it would make up half the size difference and they were perfect. One of the shoes was rubbing against my ankle and I didn't know if I could wear them any longer, but after the third time they had worn enough and felt good. Also, the ankle that the shoe rubbed on was previously broken, so the initial discomfort was probably ankle + hard shoe related.

Despite the product name, Merrell OAKCREEK Low LACE Waterproof Hiking Shoes, Black/Rust, 4 Unisex, US Size 4, this shoe is not waterproof or even water resistant. After my son's feet got wet five minutes after his first hike in these boots, I went back to re-read the product description. The title says the shoe is waterproof but the description in the fine print says it is not. I should have read more carefully before buying but shame on Revain for the false advertising.
