            Comments about Merrell Moab Ventilator Mid Hiking Boots - Kids':

            My son loved these and was very excited to wear them. He was not disappointed. He has been wearing them for several days now and has not even complained once about anything related to the boot. He loves the traction and says the boots are very comfortable. He did not have to break them in at all. They kept his feet dry when walking on wet grass. We haven't tried them yet in puddles.

              I bought these for my 5 year old since deciding as a family to spend more time outdoors. The first day we spent time under the redwoods of Henry Cowell State Park. My son had a blast. No complaints about feet hurting and no pick me up daddy.

              My son loves these boots so much that he would wear them everyday if we let him. Definitely a great buy for us!

He has hiked in them Colorado, and New Hampshire and here at home in CT. I even brought a pair for myself and Love them too!!!!!!!!!!!

                I have just purchased a second pair of these shoes for my son, who outgrew the first pair. We will need them for a trip to the Big Island this summer. Two years ago my then 7 year old hiked 9 miles across Volcanoes Nat'l Park in these shoes. No blisters. He has a little difficulty with the lace mechanism, but once they're on it is fine.

                The canyons above Azusa are rugged. My son has gone up the sides of hills and back down. Hiked and climbed over granite outcroppings and explored both dry and wet, creeks and river beds. My son(9 years old) says his boots are the best. It also gives me a peace of mind that he is safer on and off trail wearing them.

                    My 9 year old son likes to wear them all the time. They worked well at 2 Harbors on Catalina Island. My son did not get tired or complain when we took a hike which is a first. I highly recommend.

                      We bought these for my 8 year old son and he has hardly taken them off. He finds them comfortable, stylish, and especially likes the pull-ties. Overall a great shoe.
