Customer Reviews Merrell Kids Bare Steps A83 (Toddler)

Looks good and my daughter love to wear them.I just need to learn how to clean them better after muddy day

perfect for my 3 year old. She goes to pre k and needed shoes. otherwise we would not have any shoes at all. They are soft and wide and better than many other shoes we try.

Shoes fit as sized , just the right amount of flexibility for play. Have had numerous pairs as she out grows them. Best comfort and roomy shoes ever. Easy on and adjustable straps for just the right fit.

I bought these shoes for my son and daughter about 2 months ago. I love the look and flexibility of the sole. However, my kids wont wear them because the are too tight around the middle of their foot. My daughter even had a half size bigger than her normal shoes size. If there was a way to adjust the strings to loosen them, then I think I would love this shoe. It would also help to get them on the foot easier. But as of now, I have bought my daughter two sizes and they are both too tight around the middle of her foot.

So I want to start this off by saying I bought these because I LOVE the bare steps kids boots Merrel makes. Theyre ergonomic (nice wide toe box and flexible sole), great quality, so cute and my daughter can easily take them on and off by herself. Theyre amazing. In fact I plan to buy her another pair this year. The same cannot be said for these shoes. Theyre still great quality and ergonomic, but they are SO DIFFICULT to put on. Dont let the Velcro fool you. The elastic band (which is what REALLY holds the shoe on the foot) is super inflexible so I cant open them wide enough to put her foot in. Its not impossible, but its such a challenge that I rarely bother. At which pointIm just paying good money for shoes that sit in the closet.

Weve put our kiddo in these since he started walking and hes now 4.5. Love them!! They stay on, are easy to put on and take off, and are durable. Our only complaint is that now that hes older and much harder on his shoes, the Velcro closure could be more robust as the Velcro is wearing out faster than the rest of the shoe. But overall, best shoe weve found for small feet!

It was so nice to find an affordable and durable barefoot shoe for my daughter. They fit her wide feet comfortably and they have outlasted a lot of wear and tear at school. My only wish is for additional colour options and a different fabric for the outer shoe. We have the pink, and no matter how much I try to clean them they still look dirty.

After barely two months of usage there was a huge hole in the outsole. Terrible quality.
