After my son ruined his 3rd pair of Nike's within weeks of purchasing them, it was time to find something stronger and tougher. We live in the mountains and he is constantly on the go outside. We have had these a little over 2 months and they still look brand new. Very impressed with their quality and he is comfortable in them. Thank you for making these!

My 6 year old loves hiking in these shoes. We've been going on a lot of family hikes and these are great for all different terrain. In the words of my daughter say "I like them. These have good grippers.".

My kids feel like they can jump higher, run faster, and climb better run these shoes. They provide them the traction they need for hikes and climbing.

These are super comfy! My son calls them his galaxy shoes! He says they are his favorite. They are easy to put on and he runs around all day. The cool part is they are easy to clean!

Solid shoe that stands up to everyday use with minimal wear, even after a year. We liked it so much we sized up when our kid's feet grew.

These were purchased for a hiking trip and seemed to work well. The grip on the bottom was good for climbing over rocks. My daughter did not have any break in period with these and never complained about anything from the miles of hiking and said they were comfortable.

My son (8) has wide feet and is extremely active; meaning he destroys shoes before he outgrows them! He wanted "tie" shoes this time around and since Merrell's last the longest of any shoe we e tried so far I got him a pair of these Altalights in 4W. He loves them, I'm happy they're wide enjoy for proper foot development and movement within rhe confines of a shoe. My only sticking point is the laces are slightly tough to tie - a bit slippery and not quite long enough for small fingers to fumble around .

So far so good. Not the laces you want to learn to tie your shoes as they are thin and not very long. We will see how long they last as my kids go through shoes.

Overall, they have held up alright as my son's daily school shoes. Soles still have tread after about 6 months. Plastic coating on lace tips broke off after about 1 month, leading to slightly frayed lace ends. Rubber/fabric elements seem to be wearing normally, without tears.

Bought them for a summer shoe for my son. They almost fit his wide feet, but i didn't really think they would be perfect. He complains about them being too hard, and the toe started coming off after our first adventure through the woods. They look great, and they are a good wide shoe for kids, but for the money other companies make a better product.

My daughter didn't love these. She said they were way too tight, and she doesn't have a wide foot. They feel cheap to me for Merrells, and we are a Merrell family. I also noticed we could barely tie one shoe because the lace was really short.

I have bought and returned these shoes 3 times since the beginning of January. The first and 3rd pair have the same problem, it's tight across the toes, so maybe they sent the first pair back. The second pair felt like a half size smaller. I don't know if Merrell makes a normal pair of these shoes, but I don't feel like buying and returning them all.

Just bought these for my son and he finds them very comfortable, but they do not breath well at all. He's worn them maybe 5 times and they stink terribly already. Never had this problem with other shoes, so it's not that he normally has stinky feet. Wondering if they're waterproof. Doesn't say so in the description and I wouldn't have bought them if they were waterproof because I know those don't breath well. Usually love Merrill shoes, but very disappointed in this product.
