Not durable at all!

1 year ago

We loved these at first. But 10 days in they are falling apart. My son has worn them to daycare 4 days and this is what they look like. (That’s just for outdoor time, he has indoor shoes) Not impressed at all. I assumed with the brand that they would be good until he grew out of them or at least through the summer. Super disappointed!!!! I wouldn’t purchase these again. It’s just not worth it for a 4 year old if you need to buy new ones every month because they obviously won’t last longer than that!

Perfect shoes!!!!

11 months ago

My 4 year old son asked for a pair of rainbow hiking shoes…Merrell 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!

Best. Shoes. Ever.

2 years ago

“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!

Not Durable - Falling Apart!

1 year ago

NOT the usual Merrell quality. These shoes were delivered early-May and my son wore them for school starting on 5/6. School ended on 5/24. He wore these for 3 weeks - ONLY for school - and the tread and soles of these shoes are already worn off and I don’t even expect these to last another month for his summer term during June. I’m surprised by the poor quality of these sneakers as I’ve owned plenty of Merrells myself and have never experienced this kind of issue. Very unhappy with this purchase! And disappointed by the lack of durability in a brand known for their durability.

Looks nice, not durable

1 year ago

We really wanted to like these shoes. Our 3 year old has had good luck with other Merrell shoes but these ones were ruined in a weekend. I'm not sure if you can call it "normal wear and tear" as we were doing quite a bit of bike/strider riding and the shoes took a lot of abuse through his braking on the bike. The soles of the shoes just melted away though, like a pencil eraser on sandpaper. The shoes are no longer wearable. If your little person is an avid rider, best look at a different shoe.

Great shoes for little wide feet!

1 year ago

My kid loves these shoes. She has wide feet and these shoes have been the most comfortable ones for her. And she can put them on by herself very easily, as well. She loved the colors. We get a new pair every time she outgrows them. She wears them everywhere, from the BLM to the barn to the fishing pond.

Delaminated

1 year ago

We love these shoes and are on our 4th pair. However this pair has delaminated from the sole within a couple months! I’m not sure if the manufacturing changed but this was not our past experience. Hoping it can be rectified and we can continue to purchase the previous sturdy version.

Tread isn't durable

My kiddo loves these shoes but they wear out way too quickly. We've only had them for 1mo and the tread is worn out.
