Merrell Kids Reviews
Sturdy and lighweight, these have better overall support (including in the arch) than other "water" sneakers. The mesh breathes really well and they're great all-purpose shoes for summertime activities. I'm thinking if they still fit when back-to-school time hits, we'll keep wearing them. The reason I chose these over other brands of amphibious shoes is the protection against bacteria and stinky feet. Merrells are always worth the price difference.

Great! Super cute, fit well. Easy on and off for my one year old. Only thing are straps are small and velcro can come undone easier than I would like. But good overall.

I bought these for my daughter to use as occasional water shoes but she loves them so much she wears them daily. She has commented several times on the comfort and flexibility and prefers these even to flip-flops.
I got these for my five year old girl, she started running the moment she put them on. The holes on the sides are breathable so these sneakers are good for spring, so far we have been using them for about a month and little white scratches are visible on the front toe area from wear-out, but generally very pleased. Thanks, Zappos.

My son loves these shoes and has been wearing them daily since we purchased. Half the boys in his class wear them too. Comfortable, lightweight, easy to put on and take off. The only downside is his feet get really dirty, but I think this happens with all breathable mesh shoes. Also, the rubber toe seems to be coming unglued. Boys being boys are pretty tough on shoes!
Size warning: beware. Compared to the other shoes (Saucony we bought at the same time): the sole sizes are the same but the rim on the sole here is thick and so they are actually .5 size smaller than what it says. Very annoyed because we love these shoes and use them for formal wear too. I'm going to have to donate them as they are almost still new. In general they are a bit tight too (not just stiff) so I would get 1 size bigger if I had to do it over. That would've given him enough room to grow with good support.
I bought these for kid's scout camping trip. They worked beautifully. I loved the quick release lace feature for easy on/off. That was especially handy with frequent trips in and out of the tent.

My son loves these shoes because they are comfortable; I like them but wish they held up better. I end up buying two pairs in the same size because they fall apart before he grows out of them. The front rubber over the toe detaches from the fabric after about a month of wear. Kids are hard on shoes; shoe companies should figure out a way to make them hold up better. Also, the colors could be more interesting for boys.
We love Merrell. My now 7 year old can wear out a shoe pretty quickly. At one point, I mistakenly thought it'd be better to just buy some cheap tennis shoes from Target and replace them. But I was replacing them monthly or every two months. I now realize I'd rather just buy a quality shoe the first time. These qualify. No complaints.
My 7 year old plays hard and is rough on shoes! These are cute, go with most anything, and can hold up to whatever she puts them through!

My daughter loves these shoes because they are colorful and fun! I love them because they provide great support and can take a lickin'. The rubber toe helps with the wear and tear of a six year old, and can easily be wiped off. I was also pleasantly surprised that the shoe was wide enough for my daughters foot.
Excellent, durable shoes that are easy for my son to pull on and off. We've been buying these in black and brown since my sister got our son his first pair at size 6 toddler. They go with everything - in the bay area, that includes formal wear (which I must admit in is usually jeans, a t-shirt, and a sport-coat). He's now up to size 13 toddler, at age 6.

These are great shoes. I am a big fan of Merrell. My daughter has a very wide foot, and these fit her great. Very sturdy, well-made, and stylish.

My 9 year old son loves these shoes. He says, "they fit like a glove." If he could, he would choose to wear them every day! Will buy again.

These will be the best shoes for our daughter this summer. I just have to exchange them for half a size down. They run big. But they are super cute, comfortable, and ready for hard use by an active girl.
Perfect for my nearly 6 YO daughter. She has super skinny feet and heel and these fit her great. They are also very comfortable whether she wears them with socks or without. Beautiful color and wears well. Highly recommend them.

We love the barefoot for our kids. My husband has all barefoot shoes, but when he asked me to spend $60 on our son's shoes, I was hesitant. But, they fit so well and are so much less clunky than regular tennis shoes. My son loves them. His size was 1 or 2 sizes smaller than with typical tennis shoes (he wears a 1 or 2 with regular shoes, but a 13 in barefoot). Just an FYI..

I bought these for my four year old son who has wide feet. I was happy to finally find a pair of shoes that were wide enough for him! They are also super cute. They do get points off for not having half sizes and the white cap at the front of the shoe got really dirty after just a half hour of play. They are sneakers, I don't expect them to stay clean. They are good for kids with wide feet.
Our little 6-year old boy loves these shoes as they just slip on, stay nice-looking even after outside play, hold up well, and yet make him look like a little gentleman when in public. He also likes that his shoes are just like "Poppy's."

My 6-year old daughter just loves these shoes! We bought them for hiking and they were the perfecct choice. They fit true to size and they are very comfortable. They are a great look for outdoors, and my daughter loves the splash of pink!

My son complains they're a little tight, but I think he's just used to his old ones that were very broken in.
