Review on Boys' Outdoor Shoes: Merrell Chameleon Access Waterproof Boots by Jason Burnside

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not for real hiking.

I bought them for my 7 and 5 year olds. We pack and hike. A 7-year-old walked up to 18.8 miles in a day and a 5-year-old walked up to 14 miles in a day. We go hiking in all weathers and have tried different children's hiking shoes. It's hard to find good ones for kids who really hike. My kids feet got wetter in these boots than any other boot we have tried. I cannot recommend them for many kilometers of hiking. They are comfortable and otherwise fit well. This is a great durable shoe that you can easily carry around. We actually snapped one of the elastic laces. We've since tied it together, it's not pretty but it still works. Back to finding me.

Pros
  • Provides excellent support and stability when hiking.
Cons
  • A break-in period may be required
