In general, I haven't found an affordable toddler shoe with better support than the Merrells on Revain. My little one had an M-Trail Chaser Jr. which he wore when we were out on muddy/gravel trails (compared to his Nikes). However, they are heavier than these and less breathable in my opinion as they have less mesh. (See side photo. This shoe is in the foreground. M-Trail Chaser is in the back.) That being said, I think they could be more durable and water resistant over time as they have more mesh that can tear more easily and let more water through , but we will see. I also think they are a bit wider and easier to step on than M-Trail Chaser. They claim they're machine washable, which is nice, although I'll probably just hose them down. I hope this review was helpful to you.
