These are the run and jump like a super hero kind of shoes. At least that has been what my son has been doing for over two weeks now. He also wears them for our daily two mile walk/hikes to get us out of the house for awhile. I wanted shoes for when my son started school, but he out grew his old shoes and needed them sooner. I was hoping for comfortable and well made shoes. So far these shoes have reached every expectation.
It might be helpful to know, my son is 10 years old, super rough on shoes, his feet are wide and flat. We bought the orange and gray shoes in a size 6. The shoes already looked wide, so we just got the regular instead of the wide shoes.

My son has wide feet and it is so nice to find quality shoes that have a wide option. My son and my husband will only wear Merrells.

It's all part of my master plan to convince my two boys that they love hiking as much as their dad. I appreciate that the shoe is comfortable and washable. Thanks for making great shoes.

We ordered these since my son wears through shoes quickly. He has wide feet so we ordered the wide. They fit ok but aren't as wide as other shoe brand wides and since Merrell's seem wide to start with, we though they would be wider. Great shoes though.

We haven't done any long hikes (yet) due to the lockdowns, but on short walks and light trail use my daughter likes them. They're easy to take on and off as well but still look like lace-ups.

My 11 year old stepson has been wearing the Merrill Trail Chaser for a couple of years. When I tried to order another pair of Trail Chasers I couldn't find them in his size and ordered these when they came up as available. I was a little worried when I took them out of the box, they seemed heavier and stiffer than the Trail Chasers, but my step son loves them. He thinks they are really comfortable and he loves how sturdy they are. So happy with this purchase.

My granddaughter never complains about her shoes hurting when we go for long walks. And she doesn't have to worry about tying her shoes.These shoes are sturdy and comfortable.

Wow, wow, wow. I have worn merrells myself for a few years now, but never considered them for my son. I think I had a tough time warranting the cost as he grows so quick. We were blowing thru others shoes so quick, tho that I ended up buying multiple pairs a season. My son loves that he can put them on himself the strap is easy to use and the width on the shoe leaves room for their little toes to spread and give good balance.

Bought these for my 3.5 yr old son. They are his first real “hiking shoes” and he’s now ditched all other shoes in favor of these. They are not too clunky for everyday use; they fit him perfectly. We plan to do a lot of hiking in the near future, but these are also just practical for an everyday active toddler. I’m very happy with this purchase!

Order these for my kids every year and we do a fair amount of hiking. Not sure about other reviews referencing tight fit across the top of the foot. My 5 and 9 year old love them, fit and comfort is great and they stand up to a season or two of hiking (I usually buy a 1/2 size up). My daughter and I went for a 6 mile walk as soon as she got them and she never complained about a “break in period.” Velcro strap is easy on/off for kids to do on their own too!

My son, grandson and daughter-in law love Merrell shoes. My son says it is the only brand that fits (size 12) and doesn't hurt his feet. They hike a lot and the shoes hold up really well. My 8 year old grandson will not wear anything else.

Kid says it's the most comfortable out of five pairs tried. It is suitable for school or very light hikes or walks.

Very narrow and pinches in the heel. Would recommend sizing up or ordering wide unless your child has a very slim foot. Overall look of the shoe is great just didn’t fit as expected.

These have held up well with my son except for the strap loop. I wish Merrell would switch out the plastic Velcro strap loop for something durable. We have broken the loop on three pairs of the kids shoes. I've found a $.25 replacement D ring from the hardware store fixes the issue but it's annoying that they can't be made with better materials so I don't have to fix them myself. These are some of the only wide width shoes that have velcro straps I can find.

My son thought these were comfortable immediately, and liked the way they felt more than the Nova 2. They are a bit more substantial, and Nova 2 is a bit more lightweight. They have nice treads. Worked great for hiking in the Pacific Northwest, including climbing lots of trees. Would be even better if they were waterproof. I sprayed them with waterproofing stuff before he wore them and he wore wool hiking socks which dry quickly. He had no problems with wet feet, except the time we crossed a river on stepping stones, and he kind of stepped in! I guess we would have needed rubber boots to prevent that one! Overall great purchase and reasonable price; I am sure he will wear them out hiking and playing in the woods throughout the summer.

I really needed wide width and have had Merrills for my son before so I figured they would fit perfect. I got a half size larger for him than his foot. They are just not wide enough.

I bought these for my grandson he loves them. He said they were comfy and was very happy that he was wearing the same brand shoes that his grandmother wears. No complaints at all.
