👞 Merrell Boys WTRPF Hiking Earth Boys' Shoes: Optimal Outdoor Performance Review

Great boots, comfortable and practical for country walks or off-road touring. Sturdy and well made. Bought another pair of Merrell's before this pair but the sizing was really wrong. They fit perfectly but just by accident I think. it is UK 4 and Euro 36. I usually wear Euro 36 but this is the first time I see that they go with UK 4?! In any case they fit and I am very happy with the purchase.

The sole of these sneakers is very soft, which makes them very grippy. Smaller feet don't need to be broken in and my kids were immediately happy with the fit. There's a lot of padding, but they still fit well enough for kids to have good control. I look forward to hearing from the kids once they go camping.

I have had several pairs of Merrill products for many years. They might not be the best hiking shoes out there, but for me it's amazing how well they fit my slightly wide and flat feet. They last a long time and the impregnation lasts at least a couple of years. This far exceeds my expectations as I live in the Pacific Northwest. So if you have feet like mine then I would highly recommend Merrell.

The shoes fit really well. Half a size larger than old age shoes and they fit perfectly. They are very light and yet very robust. The shoes have already been tested on a number of hikes and I am very impressed. No foot pain at the end of the hike.

There is no reinforcement on the rivet holding the metal loop in place. Since I bought them for a good price on Black Friday, I decided to fix them myself. Otherwise they seem to be great kids boots. We'll be testing them on the track soon.

These are good lightweight all-weather walking shoes, but they are small and narrow. We ordered the wide and plus sizes and they were still short and too tight.

What does a toddler need with 4 other pairs of walking shoes you ask? This couple too, of course! It must have been a good deal because now he has 8 pairs!

This little wp walker is exactly what we were looking for! My little lady says it was very comfortable and kept her feet warm and dry during our cold/wet hikes in Western Australia this winter! Excellent purchase!

I absolutely love this shoe. I've had two, but both pairs had the tape on the left leg ripped just below the piece of metal within a month of ownership, and I don't even wear them every day. Thus, after about 10 times, the band will be pulled out and cannot be used to secure the laces. You don't feel safe without it. Without that design flaw, they would be my favorite shoe.

Bought these Merrells for my eleven year old, ordered a size 6, his foot length is about 9.5 inches so they fit perfectly and have some room to spare. The laces are strong but a bit flimsy. So if your kids are used to regular sneaker laces, it will take them a few times to get used to them. Very happy with this purchase.

The inner fabric around Achilles was wrinkled on both boots, but quite badly on the left boot. Would give my kid big blisters during our long hike. That's Merrell's problem. Gave them back and went to the REI. The boots there had the same problem (but not all).

We bought these hoping for a comfortable walking shoe with good support. But the second time my daughter put it on, the top loop holding the cord just snapped! I want to return these shoes. We expected much better Merrel quality

Ordered for my son and these boots kept his feet dry and cozy on cold rainy days. We did some easy trails in northern Michigan and the weather was cold and wet with rain. My son has approved of these boots.

When I opened the box they looked nice, sturdy and fit very well. After ONE DAY of wearing it became apparent that the quality is below the baseboard. Maybe it was fake or something, I don't know. Look at the photo - this is what they looked like on the first (and last) day at school.

I bought these boots for hiking New England during the winter months. I try to walk 3-4 miles every day and find my feet are cold. These boots are comfortable, very WARM and waterproof. i just love her It took a little while to break them in, but I'm very happy.

These shoes are well made and have held up very well so far after being pushed to the limit both outdoors and indoors by my exuberant 4 year old.

My high school student wore them for a 3 day hike/trek up NH mountain. He said his feet stayed dry crossing a shallow river and in the rain. They felt comfortable during their 5-mile hike up the 3,700+ foot mountain.

In general, a good economical children's hiking shoe. The rubber outsole is grippy. This is not a Vibram composite. The insole is wafer thin so I will be buying my 11 year old a new thicker insole for arch support. Let's see how it holds up.

My 10 year old is so picky about EVERYTHING and even he loved them - he said they were comfortable - loved the look and his feet felt good after a 3 hour hike.

I have been buying Merrells for many years, a friend had foot problems and I would like him to try the Merrells and he is not 100% but much better since he put them on.
