We have ordered multiple other pairs of Trail Chasers over the years and they have always been great shoes, lasted forever and held up well. This time, I ordered these blue ones, my son wore them ONE time and the elastic band holding the bottom part together broke. I thought “huh, must just be a bad pair, let’s return them and get another one of the same shoes.” So we did—and the same exact thing happened, the very first day he wore them. Clearly, they are now junk. Don’t buy.

We have been ordering this exact pair of shoes for the past two years for my son. We just increase in size as he outgrows them. He is super picky about shoes but these are great for everyday and also perfect for hiking adventures. He is also really tough on shoes and these wear well. We loved them so much that we even started ordering them for our daughter, and they have quickly become her favorites also. They don't rub or chafe, they are easy on, and hard to wear out.
I'd also recommend:
Toms, Saucony, New Balance

Loved these shoes for my son. We've had them less than 2 weeks and the sole is already separated from the top of the shoe!

Excellent kid shoes - my son loves them! They are comfortable and have done an excellent job of standing up to the wear and tear of a very active 7 year old boy. We've been so impressed with them that when we accidentally left his original pair behind on vacation, we purchased a second pair to serve as subs until the originals made it back to us.

Out of EIGHT pairs of shoes I ordered for my 7-year-old grandson, this was the ONLY ones he could stand to have on his feet. He has sensory processing issues, and although his feet do not appear inordinately wide, they are apparently somewhat thicker than average, and I pull my hair trying to get shoes for him that feel good. I order 1W in the blue/green combo for him even though they seem a little large. These are really good looking, and he seems happy with them.
I'd also recommend:
Usually get New Balance for my grandson

Comfortable, supportive, large toe box with no areas of pressure. Walk my dog for 3 miles everyday with no discomfort or redness anywhere. Thanks Merrell!

These run a full size too small. My twins wear a 1.5 in most shoes. I ordered a pair of 2s and a pair of 2.5s since they were on sale. I figured this would give them some growing room and they'd have a pair for next year as well. Welp, I was wrong because the 2.5s barely fit them. They probably won't even last them a year. It's weird because I have two pairs of Merrell dragonfly sandals in size 2 that are still too big for them. On the upside, my kids think these are the most comfortable shoes in the world. They are also very easy for them to put on themselves. I'll definitely buy again, but I'll buy *at least* one full size larger than what they wear.

Comfortable, thankful for velcro and wide sizes. Lighter weight than the waterproof Merrells of the same size. Got a 13.5W for my son with "wide" (tall) feet and sized up a size so they'll fit longer. He wears these for kindergarten gym class. They are well built--heavier than a tennis shoe but they have a good sole and seem very durable. The kind of shoe that will be passed down to siblings and cousins not thrown in the trash.

My son has plenty of room yet they are secure on his feet. I always buy him Merrells in wide and will continue in the future.

Awesome shoes. My son is very hard on his shoes and these took the beating he gave them. He said after a year they are still comfortable.

My grandson likes this shoe for day hiking on trails vs. wearing hiking boots. Great traction and he's comfortable in them all day long.

I was looking for shoes for my 5 year old to not slip at school, resistant to wear and tear, winter shoes. Regular tenni shoes weren't doing it. These shoes are great! I will definitely buy again!
