Review on Merrell Waterproof Hiking Boys' Shoes with Alternative Closure for Outdoor Adventures by Travis Rio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great all-round shoe for active kids

What I like: The shoe fits as expected, comes in half sizes, is waterproof, and has (at least for now) the Merrell durability I've come to expect from adult versions. Great for all 4 seasons for the active kid who is very tough on their shoes and has been known to break others within 2 weeks. What he likes: Says they're comfortable, make him as quick and agile as his regular running shoes, and are waterproof (because, hey, who doesn't want to find and splash in all the puddles they find in their hearts). And let's not forget that orange is always a hit. Slightly more expensive than some of the other options but I would recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a versatile shoe that can handle whatever your little adventure seeker might have to go through. from school to the toughest backyard game, hiking/walking, playground hitting, etc.

Pros
  • Excellent grip and traction on a variety of surfaces for a confident hike
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for people with wide toes.
