Comments about Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Kids':
These Boots are great for children. They are not water proof, but water resistant. We paired them with some smart wool socks and our 3yr old loves them. Originally intended to be used while camping/backpacking but he loves wearing them all the time. If he hadn't out-grown them we would still be on our first pair.

Comments about Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Kids':
My son loved these boots. Which is saying a lot since he's never loved, nor even really liked, any shoe before. They've got great support for his flat feet without being too agressive, he never got a blister and were easy to put on and take off.
He hiked around Mt. Rainier, ran on local day hikes and stomped across a couple of islands. These were perfect for our cooler NW summers. There weren't even any complaints when the rain started at the far point of a 3 mile rough trail hike.
We're only sad that we had to hand them down after growing out of them but we're off to get this year's size this weekend.

Comments about Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Kids':
I bought these boots for a hiking trip my son was going on. They have great traction, and great ankle support and they are very good with the wet stuff and he finds them more comfortable than his sneaker collection. He wears them to school in the rain or snow. They are great. The only downside is that they were pretty expensive for a young persons shoe - they are only going to fit for a few months at the most so the expense of the durability is kind of lost in this size range.

Comments about Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Kids':
Our 7 yr old son is on his second pair of the Merrill hikers. Still going strong, lots of tread on the bottom, no breakdown of the boot! The first pair lasted for a year. We replaced them because he out grew them. They are his first choice and he wears them all the time, even in the winter. We have not experienced the water issues that others have written about. I am getting ready to purchase pair #3.

Comments about Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Kids':
These boots have been a great disappointment! My seven-year-old son's feet were soaked after a 15 minute walk home from school through some wet grass (not on a rainy day). Not waterproof at all! We bought these boots in early December 2009 and a mere two months later they are entirely worn out (there is a hole in the heel and the front black rubber "flap" has completely come unglued).

Comments about Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Kids':
We bought these thinking that the kids could use them for everyday use, but at the first rain their feet became soaked - without them getting into any puddles. These are not waterproof at all. We would not buy these again.

Comments about Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Kids':
I tried on many different boots, and these were the most comfortable. And they have continued to be comfortable as I have been wearing them.
The traction is great.
While I'm not a kid (haven't been so for many years), the largest kid size was a perfect fit for me. A much better fit than the women's boots I also tried.
I especially like how easy they are to get on and off, as opposed to the struggle some boots require.

Comments about Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Kids':
I bought these boots for my kindergartener last fall to replace his tennis shoes. They are his favorite shoe. He has used them primarily for every day and I am very impressed with how they have worn. Still going strong. He has gotten them wet, i.e. puddle and stream jumping and they keep his feet dry. He has however, not soaked them. Traction is good in the snow. The only downside for us, is he is not able to tie the laces yet.
