Review on Merrell Chaser Sneaker Medium Little Boys' Shoes for Sandals by Zachary Benjamin

Bought 3 1/2 months ago for 3 grandchildren. The insoles of all 3 pairs have crumbled and the feet are sitting on the rubber mesh of the sole. The Velcro almost ripped in half on one pair. The upper of the shoe is separated from the rubber cap. We have bought Merrell shoes in the past which have held up much better - actually bought 2 pairs which have grown into 2 older boys but unfortunately the smallest boy has not grown up in them yet. Apparently the quality of the shoes has gone down!
