Customer Reviews Merrell Kids Bare Steps Ridge Jr.(Toddler)

I bought them a little big because reviews said they last well. Unfortunately the velcro no longer works and doesn't close. The soft loop side lost its ability to catch on the velcro hooks. Only used 6 months before this was a problem. I expected more from Merrell and shoes at this price point.

Velcro stopped working after a few weeks, making the shoe impossible to wear. Rest of the shoe is in great condition but the velcro won't stick. Support told us we can find a shoe repair company and pay to have them fix it...

I have 3 kids and we have been loving Merrell Baresteps sneakers and boots. My youngest needed the next size up and I ordered these because they look so cute and functional. These run smaller and narrower then the bare steps sneaker style. So the size 6.5 I received is smaller then the current 6 he was wearing. I was so disappointed. I ordered them on a promo and was unable to exchange. Love the shoes but the sizing is all over the place.

Elastic isn't attached very well and came detached on both shoes within a couple months. Definitely seems like a design flaw and would not recommend.
