Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

These are such great little shoes! They are comfortable with a nice flexible sole and wide barefoot style toe box, and the soft lavender and bright pink color combo is cute. Perfect everyday shoes for my very active 4 year old, and we will use them for hiking also. Sizing seems to run large with all kids Merrells; her feet measure 6” and so I ordered the 9, but had to exchange for an 8 as the 9s were like flippers on her feet.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

Comfortable shoe that my 4 year old loves (also loves the color/ styling of his 'rainbow shoes'). One star due to durability of the shoe and construction. He is a regular active kid and the shoes are mostly destroyed after about a month of wear. I expected more for $50 shoes.

It is not soft inside. Toddler shoes should be soft inside.

Reviewed at Merrell

We've put our kiddo in these since he started walking and he's now 4.5. Love them!! They stay on, are easy to put on and take off, and are durable. Our only complaint is that now that he's older and much harder on his shoes, the Velcro closure could be more robust as the Velcro is wearing out faster than the rest of the shoe. But overall, best shoe we've found for small feet!
