This is the third pair of these shoes we've bought for our 4 year old son. The first was great, but he outgrew them. The bungee on the second pair broke after ~2 months of wear. We bought this most recent pair before a trip to Disney and they held up well the entire trip. He didn't complain at all about feet hurting.

This is our second pair of Merrell Trail Chaser shoes. he has grown out of the first pair. I love Merrell and these come in a Wide width which is sometimes hard to find. These shoes hold up well to 5 yr old chaos and have been excellent. They are breathable, rugged, and velcro makes them easy for him to get on and off independently.

Stylish shoes for my first grader. He loves them. They are kind to wider feet without being too wide.

The day after these arrived we left for a week long trip to New England - lots of walking, running and jumping. My son had no issues with them.

I know these appear expensive, but they will outlast your children’s growth spurts! The other pair lasted a year of every other day use on an active child. These fit my 9 year old well.

Bought these for my son for a 9-day hiking trip and didn't hear a single complaint about his feet! I also bought the Moab Low A/C Waterproof shoes to try which I honestly liked the look of better, but we decided to go with these because they were more flexible and had more give to them. I think that is a big part of why he didn't have any trouble. Highly recommend!

We purchased these for my son who tends to be really hard on his shoes. So far they have held up and seem like they will last the summer. He is very happy with them and says they are comfortable. They're also easy for him to get on and off by himself with the Velcro closures. Very pleased with these shoes!

Merrell is my favorite brand of shoe to wear, so I thought, "why not get my active little boy a pair?" The size was true. The durability is evident in the form and tread. And, they are easy for my son to put on all by himself. Reasonably priced for the quality as well. We'll be getting more kids shoes from Merrell, for sure.

My six year old grandson picked these from five other pair, including Merrill’s , Vans, etc because of comfort. I liked them because they seem rugged and are breathable. He just totally used up a pair of Keens Kootenay which he wore every day for a year and a half. Those gave out first in the lining and inside sole. These trail chasers are are breathable and won’t mind wet days. I only had a few days visit to try sizes and brands and Zappos speedy delivery, return, and second delivery for correct size all went smoothly within a few days. Love the customer service. Really liked these shoes for an active little boy.

This is the second pair of Merrell I've bought for my son. He loves this style. There comfortable, easy on/off, and have some grip. They do seem to run a half size larger. I hope they don't discontinue these any time soon.

Unless my son's foot has grown a full size in a month, this shoe fits a little small. But it's as sturdy and comfortable for him as always. This is a good style for a kid with a narrow foot.

The sizing seemed a bit off. My 8 year old is a size 3 in all his other shoes, yet for this shoe, he fit a 2.5. Aside from the sizing, these are great shoes. They're light and yet very durable.

After throwing away several pairs of shoes that I have bought my daughter, I finally decided to invest in a pair of Merrell's! I love them for myself and they last a long time so I was hoping the same for my daughter. She put them on right away and hasn't taken them off since. 6 months later they still don't look roughed up, I am certain these are shoes I will be donating once she grows out of them, and I will be buying more! It is not often I align myself with a brand, but this brand I certainly will! She uses these for regular school days, as well as girls on the run practice, and playing in the woods!

He is as tough on shoes as can be and these are holding up great. Pretty much the only shoes he has never complained as hurting his feet.

We have a hard time finding a shoe that will last longer than 1 month with our sons rough play (swings and scooter dragging his feet) These lasted a whole school year and then some! We also love the Velcro option that is water proof, because he has fine motor issues... he can put these on by himself!! He loves them and refuses to wear any other shoe. Now we have a new color this year :) they are stylish enough for my 5th grader! Thank you!!
