Great Shoes!

4 years ago

I bought these for my three y/o son, and he loves them! We have taken them on runs around the block, and hikes in the woods, and they have been great for both adventures. They are his daily wear shoes for school too, and he has no complaints about being in them all day long. It seems that they are comfortable for him, as he will normally request them with the exception of his rain boots when he plans to stomp in rain puddles. We have gotten them wet a few times, and they dry fairly quickly. The material seems breathable enough for him throughout the day. Traction is good for those hikes and nature walks. I plan to just size up when the time comes, because he loves them.

An awesome shoe for young hikers.

3 years ago

We love these and own a pair for each of our two kids (4 and 5). They’ve worn them on hikes over all kinds of terrain and they’ve performed very well. The kids love them and are always excited to put on their hiking shoes. They’re easy to clean when we get home and have held up well to loads of abuse. If your kids typically wear shoes from brands like See Kai Run or others with wide beds and open toes these will likely feel a little tight because they’re built like a ‘normal’ shoe. It’s not bad it was just slightly unexpected and took a little explaining to our youngest kid.

Awesome kid hikers

My five year old loves these shoes- they've been perfect for hikes and travelling and all the regular, every day craziness of being an active five year old. Great colors, too!

Sturdy and wide!

3 years ago

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 .

Stinky Shoes

3 years ago

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.

Great price for a trail shoe!

4 years ago

I moved from the flat trails of Florida to hilly Virginia. These shoes get the job done for a beginner on the trails. My family and I take a weekly 3-4 mile trek and these shoes are comfy. I wear thick socks with them so I ordered a half size up and they fit just right. The material is warm but breathable. I could go for a tiny bit more cushion but I'll add new insoles if it becomes a big deal. I plan on ordering for the kids as well. These were well worth the $

We LOVE our first pair of Merrells!

4 years ago

I read plenty of reviews on Merrell products to know to order .5-1 size up! My daughter LOVES these and I'm already contemplating ordering more in bigger sizes so she'll have them for several years. She loves that the bottoms are "sticky" and she can climb anything she wants without fear of falling. Was so worried that the ground would take the stickiness away - lol! These are WONDERFUL shoes!

Love!

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!

Poor quality

3 years ago

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.
