5.0 out of 5 stars Great Shoes for a Kid
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024
I bought a pair of Merrell's about 18 months ago for my grandson. I bought this pair of them and added 2 sizes for good measure. They were too big, so I kept them for next year and went down a size and ordered another pair. The first pair wore like iron and my grandson is very hard on shoes. He a very active first grader now going to second grade. He loves the new ones and is happy he will have a new pair next spring. I recommend these shoes highly. I'll leave this same feedback for both shoes that I ordered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for wild 3 year old

Our 3 year old son loves these shoes. This is his second pair....he outgrew the previous pair. The shoes look nice and match my merrela I wear when we take the dog in walks together.

They are much more durable than the normal kids shoes we normally get at Target. They stand up to daily use and our kid constantly running around, chasing the dog outside, etc.

Will probably buy another pair in a larger size when he grows out of these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoes. Poor distributor.

The product is great. This would have been my grandsons third pair but they sent the wrong size. I sent them back and got the wrong size again when I reordered. I ordered 10w big kid and got little kid twice. I give up.

Merrell, you are amazing. These shoes are priced so well, and they fit my kids feet amazingly (is that a word?) We climbed all over the national parks with them. Super easy for them to put on, yet holds on their feet really well. Nice job Merrell, nice job :)

These sneakers offer great support and durability, making them perfect for various outdoor activities. I bought two pairs for my kids age 4 and 6. We used them hiking in the Smokey Mountains. They are still in good shape, ready for our next outdoor adventure.

One of the standout features is the rugged sole, which provides excellent traction on different terrains. Whether on rocky trails or muddy paths, these shoes offer stability and grip, ensuring my child's safety during hikes. The supportive construction also helps prevent any discomfort during long walks. They are not waterproof so be cautious of adventures that involve stepping through water. The kids socks definitely got wet after stepping through some water.

The design of the Trail Chaser is both practical and stylish. The sneakers are easy to put on and take off, thanks to the hook-and-loop closure, which is great for kids who are still mastering their lacing skills. Additionally, the color options are vibrant and appealing, which my kids love.

Comfort-wise, these sneakers are well-padded and provide good arch support. My children wore them for extended periods without any complaints of discomfort or blisters. They are also lightweight, which adds to the overall comfort and ease of movement. The shoes are a bit stiff and hard to put on at first. They are true to sizing and love that they have half sizes.

Overall, the Merrell Unisex-Child Trail Chaser Hiking Sneaker is a reliable and comfortable choice for young hikers. Despite minor sizing and not being waterproof, the excellent support and traction make them a solid investment for any child's outdoor adventures. I do think these shoes are worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son is a hiker
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2024
I dared him to wear these out before he outgrew them. So far, he's not worn them out after seven months. Many epic hikes and lots of bike rides, they are holding up well. I'll always have him a pair of Merrell shoes available for him! He does prefer other (more stylish) shoes for school or other non-strenuous outings, though these are his main go-to-do-it shoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holds up well
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2024
My son loves this style of shoe and I love that they hold up so well and are worth the money. I always buy him Merrells now. The one thing I will say is odd is that he has two pairs of thse in different colors and the colors vary slightly in style in that one has a lot more padding around the ankle. I believe it is these blue ones that are better than the red and black but it was very odd to me. He has not had a problem with either pair though.

We love them. This our second pairs hiking shoes.The soles have a great grip, which is crucial for young kids who are still mastering their balance and coordination. We've found that our child feels more confident walking on different surfaces, from muddy trails to rocky paths.
