Comfort is another standout feature of the Merrill Kids' Hiking Shoes. With cushioned insoles and breathable mesh uppers, they keep feet cool and comfortable even during long hikes. Plus, the adjustable hook-and-loop straps ensure a snug and customizable fit for growing feet.

Durability is key when it comes to kids' shoes, and the Merrill brand delivers. These hiking shoes are built to withstand the rigors of outdoor exploration, holding up well against scrapes, scuffs, and rough terrain.

 This is an excellent sneaker! I chose this pair because they come in half sizes, which is perfect for my 9-year-old son who is outgrowing size 3 but finds size 4 too big. Given that they are made by Merrell, I expected high quality, and these shoes did not disappoint. My son has been wearing them since we got them, and he says he really likes them. He even mentioned that they make him a better runner, which I consider a great bonus.

The sneakers are well-made with a comfortable insole, perfect for all-day wear and active play. I would definitely recommend these sneakers and plan to get them in size 4 for the upcoming school year. Highly recommend!

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.

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 Great for wild 3 year old
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024
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.

This brand never disappoints. My boys are rough in their hiking shoes but these consistently hold up to the beating they take every summer during hiking season. The straps stay secure and don’t come apart while we hike. My kid says they are comfortable and he has no complaints.

I only purchase Merrell for my son. He destroys every other brand of tennis shoe much too quickly. These are durable, comfortable and will last until he’s in the next size!
