This is my kiddos fourth pair of Merrells. So far they are holding up great (he plays hard) and he gets lots of comments about how "cool" they look.

My 9 year old went on hikes in 4 different NP in California. They gave him the flexibility of a sneaker and protection of a boot. He loved it did not complain once about his feet hurting and he said it had good grip when he was climbing the trees and rocks. Definitely recommend these shoes.

These have been great everyday and adventure shoes for my kid. He beats shoes up but these still look great and have held up. He also tells me that they work wonders for climbing and running.

"They have awesome tread" says my four year old. He calls them his "mountain sneaker" and they are the first thing he puts on every morning. We use them for mountain biking, hiking, running, playing all day and playgrounds. They've gotten totally thrashed in mud and clay and clean off easily. Still look relatively the same as when we bought them months ago- which is saying a lot for muddy southeastern Ohio. They are easy to get on and off. Highly recommended. We also bought a pair for his 5 year old brother. They seem like they'll hold up to his rough wear and be passed down to his two little sisters too!

This is the first set of Merrels I've bought for my kiddo and I'm impressed. My 8 yr old also loves his new shows. The sole appears to be durable with good grip. Hoping they last us all spring, summer and fall.

Good shoes. They only last 3 months for my very active 6 yr old boy, but they last much longer on my 5 yr old girl. Velcro wears out and the tread wears out. Overall they're good enough that I'll still order again.

4 stars becuase they wear out too fast given the cost. Otherwise, great shoe for an active 7 year old.

These fit my son well, and work for his wide feet, but the fabric tore on his first wear. Granted, he’s not gentle on them but the tear the first time he wore them was disappointing.

We like the look and seemed comfortable on my son. Time will tell on durability. The thread on it looks for walking and light hiking.

This is our second pair of these shoes because my son loved them so much. This time I will say the quality is not as good, the Velcro strap is not holding anymore, seems like in quality or something. At this point, I would not recommend even though I would love to buy them again for him in a bigger size.

My 4 year old son asked for a pair of rainbow hiking shoesMerrell sure delivered!!! We were so happy to find these shoes. We took them on our family vacation for hiking at Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. They held up great even hiking through the Narrows and getting them wet. I used the online measure guide to order his size and although he has just started wearing size 12, it told me to order size 13. They looked a little big, but he said they were comfortable and we had no issues with them falling off or rubbing. They also washed up great after our trip, in the sink with a little bit of dish soap and they look brand new again!

Comfy shoe but the bottoms wore out very quickly. After a few months they are worn through and we have to get a new shoe. We've had other kids Merrells and they have not had the same issue.

Ordered these for my twelve year old in size Big Kid 6 with a couple other pairs. These are quite narrow. He ended up happiest with the New Balance Rave Run v2 with the hook-and-loop closure.

These tennis shoes have been the best, most durable shoes I've ever bought my 5 year old. We've gone through TONS of shoes, with an active vivacious kiddo and we are so happy to have finally found a brand that makes decent, durable kids shoes. I'll definitely be buying from Merrell for the foreseeable future!
