This is our third pair of these shoes and we will def buy more — they are easy to put on, can get wet, dry quickly, and don’t make my kid trip all over like a traditional sandal. Perfect toddler shoe. We usually go without socks but you could do either. Highly recommend.

These have a nice fit and seems to walk and run with less falling. Good looking pair of shoes.

I love these! I bought them for my son and decided to get them for my daughter too. I wish they had bigger sizes, my son just sized out of them!

Comfy for my 2yo. I worried it might get wet after all day wearing, however his feet is dry. Easy to put on and off, light, no slippery.

We LOVE these shoes! My daughter now has two pair for daycare (2.5yo). They're TOUGH and withstand everything she can throw at them, a quick wash and they look brand new. They're easy on and off, great for the water, pool, hiking trail or rain yet also perfect for daycare. We use these as her everyday show and have bought a pair of the "barefoot" feel boots for snowy days when these may not keep the moisture out (her feet don't get immediately wet in these unless she's puddle romping after a good rain, so they're still perfect to keep feet dry on damp days).

Bought this for my 13mo old and it has been the best shoe we've gotten so far. Although it is considered a water shoe, my little wore this as a sneaker all summer. My favourite things about the shoe: 1) so easy to put on and take off, and 2) super flexible by the toes and low to the ground - great for new walkers. Bought the next size up and hoping for more options in the Bare Steps line.

I have 18mo old toddler boys and am very picky about the shoes I buy for my kids. These are some of the very best I have ever bought (and I have 5 kids total). They can withstand the torture my boys put them through and the thick velcro strap is the BEST! Its just as good now as it was when I bought these 3 months ago. Also, the have a wider toe box for chubby toddler feet and are really flexible, yet grippy. You won't have any face plants on wet days outside!

Perfect water and splash pad shoe. Runs bigger than the other merrell kids shoes imho. We love the way it goes on and has a wide opening when you pull back the velcro so my son can do it himself. I buy this shoe in new size every summer for him. Wish it came in even more colors!

Bought these for my 1 year old son. I was having a hard time finding something to fit his chubby little feet. Even XW in other brands were pushing it. I found these and I'm so happy I did! He wears them everyday! I hope they continue making them! I'll be purchasing the next size up as he needs them.

These sneakers are perfect for established walkers. They are flexible but still have a great sole to protect kids feet from the hot pavement.

We got this because we wanted our 14 month old to be in shoes that were soft and had free movement on his entire foot. The soles are soft and it doesn't feel like a cast on his feet. Bought two pairs !!!

These are the best shoes for my toddler who has wide feet. I've bought them in several sizes. They get wet all the time and never stink!

I purchased these last summer for my daughter and loved them. They held up well and were comfortable. Naturally, I had to purchase them again for my son this summer They protect little feet from hot black top. I wish they made past the toddler sizes.

Comfortable, flexible, quick-drying, easy to put on, no blisters....you name it these are perfect. My 1 and 3 yr old born wore these all last summer. I went to buy them again for this summer and unfortunately my son's feet are now too big for them (size 11). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE extend your sizing on these!! I'd buy them for my 6 yr old too! Nothing else I've found comes even close.

I am super picky about shoes for my kids and the bare steps sneaker is one of my top picks. Just bought these for my 14 month-old. He walks very naturally and comfortably in them, even as a new walker. We love soft-soled leather shoes for this age but I am so happy with the protection and breathability combined with flexibility/natural movement that this sneaker provides. Big Sister has had hers for over a year and they have served her well too. I couldn't be happier with this product. So grateful to Merrell for making some reasonably-priced, healthy shoe options for small people!

I have bought these in 2 sizes for my 3 year old. Sadly he is currently in the largest size they make in these. He loves them and wears them everyday. They are lightweight and flexible. I also like how breathable they are because his feet usually get hot in shoes. Please, please make these in the larger big kids sizes!

I would buy these in every size. So sad both my kiddos have outgrown these. We had a pair the last two summers and the Baresteps boots each fall/winter. Please extend sizes of your Baresteps line! Loving the new colors too

Perfect for a 3 year old with chubby feet. He loves that he can't put them on and take them off all by himself.
