Merrell Chameleon 7 Mid Kid's Waterproof Hiking Boot - Alternative Closure for Active Outdoor Fun Review

Best Pro: Excellent grip on the sole. They do a great job on loose rocks and steep descents. The worst minus point: In the heel area there is a seam inside the shoe, which causes blisters even in good socks.

They're definitely not waterproof, but they dry very quickly. They are light and comfortable. I have a women's size 7 and ordered these as inexpensive hiking shoes. The toe box is really wide so they look a little chunky but I like the extra room.

Absolutely not waterproof. If you're looking for real walking shoes, I don't recommend them. Well, as long as you don't walk in the water, which is pretty much impossible if you really intend to travel across it. The water barely reached toe and seeped through. I wish I could send back

Bought a year ago, worn heavily, still in great waterproof condition! My daughter bought them for Girl Scout Fall Camp a year ago. She wore them through rain and snow in the Midwest and winter, many rainy days in spring, and many weeks in summer at camp. In summary, I bought them a year ago. They were immediately and often taken to the streets by a 10-year-old girl who leads an active lifestyle and is very demanding about her shoes. They're still in good enough shape that she could wear them…

I used to think that the cheaper Chinese branded shoes you see everywhere at Revain are a good deal and that these famous brands aren't worth the extra money. I couldn't be more wrong with these shoes. Now I have bought my 5 year old two pairs of these sneakers in different colors. The first pair is still valid after being worn to school every day for the past 2.5 months! In my experience so far, we've been lucky if a pair of shoes lasted a month without falling apart. These were absolutely…

I bought these shoes for my 6 year old son and he loves them! We have taken these boots on hiking trips and they hold up really well. The profile and overall quality of the shoe is what I would expect from Merrell. My son loves playing in the creeks which usually gets his shoes wet. These shoes will get wet if sufficiently submerged in water, but they dry fairly quickly in front of a fan. Late in the evening the bright orange accents are very visible which is an added bonus for visibility. My…

First let me say that I am a grown male carrying a size 4 child as he was born with spina bifida. So my legs are small, squat and wide. I go through shoes like no other. My shoes have to be durable. These are the first Merrells I have ever owned and they won't be the last. They are definitely durable and fit great. Although they appear to be narrow. These shoes are very well made and I'm sure they will last a long time. I haven't tested this yet, but I'm not sure if they are waterproof. I say…

I buy these every year for my son who turns 10 this year. They are very durable, comfortable and we love that there are no laces although he can tie his shoes lol. The dog has been chewing on our current pair which is why we love them so much I will actually be buying him another pair. They are waterproof, not waterproof. In them, your children's feet will stay dry on a hike, even if you have to cross a small stream. They keep your feet warm and dry in winter, but are also perfect for summer. I
