Absolutely wonderful for toddlers little chubby feet. Do not slip off during water play or beach. And appear to be very comfy

We loved these so much that we bought them in several sizes so our toddler can wear them as he grows. They are so much more than just water shoes. We wore them daily for all activities. The grip is perfect, love the wide/natural toe box, and flexible barefoot/minimal feel with almost zero drop. But what happened to the gender neutral colours? Merrell used to carry green and blue, wish they'd bring them back!

Great shoe for foot health and great quality. Ordered them a bit large and my son has been wearing them for a year now! They still look great! I already ordered the next size up because we love them so much. My 3 year old can put them on by himself very easily. Will be Ordering the same shoes for my daughter.

We bought two pairs, different sizes, how much we love them . Very easy to put on and take off. My 17 months old wore them every day over the summer and they also wash well . Love the shoes\

I ordered a pair of these shoes for my 12months old. They looked very breathable, soft and comfortable. My older children's first pair of walking shoes had always been the runners but they'd sometimes leave imprint on the little feet after long wear. I'm glad to find these shoes; they fit perfectly around my toddler's little feet. They can be used as water shoes too; I can stop buying shoes after shoes for different activities. I'm so happy & I wish I'd found them sooner. I'm definitely buying a bigger size for my 2.5yrs old.

I needed an easy shoe for my toddler to slip on AND needed a water shoe with a hearty sole. These shoes are perfect!! They dry so quickly and the soles grip to any surface without the fear of slipping. The colors are great and I love that the shoe is made from some recyclable materials. Very satisfied and so is my toddler!!

Best of both worlds. Very cute water shoe and also provides good protection for the foot. Straps around foot nice and secure. Great for creek stomps and days at the lake.

Or rather, my toddler loves it! He's been wearing them for about a year, and just switched sizes. He now calls them his "rainbow shoes" and he goes everywhere with them! They're lightweight, flexible, and breathable, and easy for a 3 year old to put on. And they LAST! Thank you, Merrell!

I have been looking for flexible shoes for my toddler and we really love this water shoe. This is the third pair that I got and we are very pleased with it. They seem very solid for a water shoe and we normally wear them as a regular sneaker. My daughter loves to walk, run, ride a bike and climb and they seem to fulfill all of her needs. She even breaks with her foot on a balance bike and they don't seem to wear off easily. I wouldn't size up a whole size if your child grows out of it. Buy a half size bigger as they fit better.

Even though this is a water shoe we love it for everything outside for our nearly 2 year old. He can put them on himself, they are durable, waterproof, and lightweight/comfortable for running and climbing. We will buy it in bigger sizes - especially grateful for Merrell's wide sizing for our little boy's big feet.

These shoes are awesome especially for the water loving kid. My son has a wide foot and these fit him perfect. These shoes are great as regular sneakers or water shoes, very versatile.

Wow!! My son is 4 and has chunky and wide feet - I got a 10W and he had almost a whole inch of toe room. They were so loose they were sliding off his heel. I reordered a size smaller. He’s a big guy so I was really surprised! We usually get the Nike sunray but those were seeming too tight.

Dressing our 19 month-old grandson can feel like trying to wrangle an octopus. These shoes are easy on which save us and him undue stress. Love these shoes!

Great water shoe - good looking, comfortable, stays on narrow toddler feet, dries fairly quickly. Only improvement would be to make the insole more easily slide in and out as that was a bit of a pain each time I rinsed the shoes out (sand all summer long!).

Bought these shoes for my 18 month daughter. She's usually barefoot for proper feet development but I wanted something for being in the water or hot pavement, these were 100% exactly what I was looking for. Perfectly sized, beautiful colors. The soles have great traction so my daughter doesn't trip in these. We've taken these in the water and they dry relatively quickly if in the sun. I'd recommend them.

Bought these for our granddaughters first birthday. The velcro closure makes them easy to get on. I love that they're lightweight and flexible for a new walker.

These are absolutely THE BEST sandals for a young boy! My kiddo is 4 and has always refused to wear sandals-- they cramp his running style ;) He can do anything in these. They must feel like his favorite tennis shoes, because he actually asks to wear these! It's been nearly 2 months and they are holding up great with regular wear. I haven't needed to wash them yet--no stink issues, which is surprising. I'm very pleased with these. They were well worth the investment.

Our little boy loves these. We love that he can get in and out of his kiddie pool without skipping a beat. We especially love that they are barefoot shoes. His walk in them seems to be much better aligned since he started to wear these shoes.

I bought these shoes for my 3 1/2 year old son. Originally, I purchased them in his normal size 8t. However, I ended up exchanging them for a 7t. He absolutely loves wearing them. They are a great summer shoe as he can wear them without a sock. He wears them for playing outside and it’s great that he can get them wet as well.

My son wears a size 10 in Nike sneakers, but size 10 in these shoes was too big. Size 9.5 fit great (he also has a narrow foot), and he loves these shoes.
