Great sneakers for low profile hikes!

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!

Pros
  • Great Grip: The Merrell Nova 2 outsole offers excellent traction and traction, perfect for active kids who love to play outdoors.
Cons
  • Can't be stylish or trendy

Love these shoes good for me

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

Pros
  • My 10 year old loves these shoes. He wears them every day. They fit him perfectly and are easy to put on and take off.
Cons
  • Came out dirty with sand or something all over the ground. Washed by hand in the kitchen sink. New shoes shouldn't be like this.

my son likes them - my new review

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

Pros
  • Good quality and great fit, my son loves them. They fit as expected. Would buy again. Not too narrow.
Cons
  • The shoes were the correct size but were damaged and looked like they had been worn before.

Lasted 4 months :( best in my rating

One side is completely "destroyed" but the front and top are fine. He wore them for four months. My child has had Merrell shoes in the past which he has outgrown although they were in very good condition. And for $60 I expected the same Merrell quality.

Pros
  • Despite its quality construction, the Merrell Nova 2 is an affordable option for parents who want to give their kids a great pair of shoes without breaking the bank.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with medical conditions requiring special footwear.

Lightweight, great color

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.

Pros
  • This shoe makes it possible. This brand works well with my kids' high arches. Easy to put on. Good all-round sports shoes for children.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for activities such as running or hiking

Daughter wore 30 miles on foot and still looks great

My daughter wore them on a hike where we did 30 miles and the profile still looks great. She said they were comfortable. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • I struggled to find half sizes for my child but they fit perfectly and are very comfortable!
Cons
  • May not be durable enough for everyday use

Great lightweight walking shoes

A bit pricey but the perfect shoe for an outdoor summer camp. The shoes feel like they will last a while - the stitching and sole are high quality.

Pros
  • I love this for my daughter. She can walk, run and climb in it. Great pull, well made and appealing.
Cons
  • They looked cute and I like the velcro and easy on and off, but they are too small.

I love these shoes! to my rating.

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.

Pros
  • The Nova 2 is lightweight, which means it won't slow your child down as they run, jump or climb.
Cons
  • May not provide enough cushioning for high-impact activities

Great shoes, my verdict

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 really well and gave good grip on the rocks. would recommend.

Pros
  • Comfortable and looks great with different outfits. Hiking in the mountains survived. My 7 year old loves them!
Cons
  • The lace strap lasted less than 4 months. It just turned up by accident.

Unfortunately the shoes fall apart.

Merrell shoes usually fit well in our home and I say they are handmade but this pair came loose at the sole seams in less than a month with light wear, disappointment. I trust other styles of Merrell shoes for durability and longevity but I would steer clear of this style.

Pros
  • Great Fit: Merrell Nova 2 running shoes run true to size and offer a snug and comfortable fit for most kids.
Cons
  • May wear out after prolonged use

Cute but upside down!

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.

Pros
  • The sneaker offers all-day comfort, making it ideal for kids who travel a lot.
Cons
  • May not be appropriate in a formal or business setting

Good for narrow feet

My son usually wears tennis shoes from Japanese brands because he has narrow feet and they usually fit his foot well. We tried them out spontaneously because our son liked the colors. They fit well, the colors are bright. Very nice shoes.

Pros
  • The Merrell Nova 2 running shoes are built to last, making them a great investment for parents who don't want to be constantly changing their kids' shoes.
Cons
  • May not provide adequate ventilation, resulting in sweaty and uncomfortable feet.

Best of all times, maybe? good for me

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.

Pros
  • breathing
Cons
  • May not be suitable for cold weather or winter conditions

very comfortable in my opinion

I usually wear size 8 or 8.5 women's shoes and these size 7 shoes are very comfortable. The only thing I don't like about them is the lack of food. I added insoles from my old adidas shoes so I can wear them on long hikes and my feet don't hurt too much. :)

Pros
  • The Capri color Nova 2 is a beautiful shade of blue that will complement any outfit.
Cons
  • May require frequent cleaning and maintenance to maintain appearance.

This shoe runs a bit small for its width.

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.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Adults can wear child sizes

Children's shoes were at a much better price. 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…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price

Buyers beware - ad is not waterproof

Shoes are not waterproof or even waterproof. 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.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models
