Great shoes! These have been one of the only pairs we have ever purchased for my daughter that can hold up to the strange black surface on the playground.

Very cute - we get frequent comments. Seem to be comfortable for her and the sole is pretty flexible. Sizing was a bit funny for us - the 9 was huge so we went with the 8... now just waiting for a growth spurt and then we'll need to buy another pair! So far they are holding up well on the playground, etc. Some weird little strings on the trim though... like when fabric starts to unravel... though it doesn't seem to be actually doing that. We wear these without socks most days but can wear them with socks and they still look cute.

Just purchased my second pair of these shoes for my 20 month old daughter. She outgrew the first. I love these shoes. They are my go to shoes for daycare. They are fancy enough for most of her outfits but the best feature is the durability without compromising on comfort. Her foot does not squirm around in them and they are so easy to take on and off by herself. A+ all the way.

My dilemma: Two little girls who won't ever keep their shoes and socks on, love to play outside, hate getting rocks or dirt in their open sandals/flip flops, and love to wear dresses. Solution: Merrell Chameleon Arc Jump. These shoes are the perfect tennis shoe/sandal hybrid. They protect little toes, don't require socks, are lightweight and breathable, look adorable with shorts and dresses (I bought them in pink), don't collect dirt & rocks, and are super easy to put on and take off. If you were thinking about buying your child a tennis shoe and a pair of sandals or flip flops for the summer -- save your money and just buy a pair of Chameleon Arcs! They are only shoes my girls wear in the hot TX spring/summer.

My grand daughter who is three absolutely loves these shoes. She finds them comfortable and easy to put on and take off. I will be buying the same style but bigger sizes when she grows out of these. As usual Zappos customer service is the best! All other businesses should follow their practices. Thanks. Bill S. Alberta, Canada

These are great shoes. My daughter is four years old and has wide feet. She has worn these shoes for a month now. She uses them for casual wear and a lot of hiking (through mud and large streams). The shoes have not fallen apart yet. They are easy to put on/off and clean. The insoles start to smell if you do not wear socks, but they are easy to take out and clean. She is really enjoying them.

Usually I am not happy with the Merrell Kids shoes, they are too wide and too stiff. Fortunately this is not the case with this particilar model.Chameleon Arc Jump are very soft and flexible and they provide excellent arch and ankle support. My daughter loved them. We tried also Ecco, Umi and Pediped flats and though they all are very nice, the Chameleon Arc Jump seems to be a bit more comfortable. Especially I like the ankle support.

I found these shoes in a weird discount/non shoe store. I could not resist the Merrell label. I noticed that as a woman's size 7, the shoes that fit were size 5. I love these shoes and wanted to look them up on my favorite site, Zappos. I would buy these again in a heart beat, but only from Zappos. They do run a bit large. I like the open box toe effect. They look great, and feel great. I had no idea they were children's shoes. Next time I would go to Zappos instead.

The perfect shoe for a 3 year old. So easy for her to put on all by herself and can wear these shoes with almost anything. Worth every penny.

We are thrilled with these shoes. My 4-year old easily puts them on/takes them off by herself. They are a sturdy fit so she is able to run and jump like she would with a sneaker. She has jumped in mud with them and smeared clay on them in her pottery class. They have been cleaned in the sink three times and still look new. The insert comes out for faster drying. They seem to go with everything. She has even worn them with eyelet white socks and a sundress for a super cute look. This has been one of our best Zappos purchases. She measures around an 8.5 and we went with the 9.

Good shoulder season shoe. Our 1.5 year old likes hers. Easy to get on. Width is better than most mediums - wider. Tread is a bit aggressive so best not to have the little one walking on or kicking you with these on.

Perfect shoe for our 3-year-old to wear to preschool. Great for easy-on/off by herself and nice and sturdy for running around at school. Unfortunately, her foot has gone through a growth spurt, so we'll be repurchasing again in a size up...but worth every penny!

Light weight, stylish, great color and very supportive. Sized small by 1 or even 1.5 sizes. My 2 year old grew out of these very quickly.
