MerrellUnisex-Child Hydro Junior Sport Sandal

My daughter has been wearing these sandals all spring and she loves them! They are easy for her to get on, don't rub on any part of her feet, don't smell and are easy to clean. She has jumped in the pool with these on and continued to wear them after and not get blisters. I let these air dry but have thrown them in the dryer once because we were in a hurry to leave and I didn't have any issues! These are awesome for parents looking for a good quality sandal that will hold up with an active child. These are great at the park. We haven't had any issues getting the mulch from the playground in them and they have great traction for climbing! I normally buy Stride Rite sandals in the summer for my kids but I will never buy them again after buying these! I will say that my daughter has a narrow foot and her siblings have wide feet. These are great for her narrow feet but her siblings wear the Keen brand which run more on the wide side! They look similar in appearance and are both great quality but are made much wider! Over all these are amazing sandals and well worth the price!! The picture shoes my daughter's Pink/Purple Merrell Sandals and all others are Keen sandals including mine!

These sandals fit my 10 year old son perfectly. He has a wider foot so I was thrilled that he thinks they are comfortable. He's really enjoyed wearing them this summer.All the outdoor water activities make it easy for him to transition from inside to outside. The sandals have held together great so far and showing no signs of wear.

We love these and they have updated and improved the toe coverage since last year so i was even more excited! My daughter has skinny feet with high arches, these fit her well and are really lightweight so they dry quickly and she does trip easily in them! They run a little large (which i already knew from previously getting her fitted for them last year so i tend to order them in the size that her foot actually measures rather than going up the 1/2 size or so for growing room. Definitely recommend and will definitely continue to purchase in the coming years. They hold up so well we could give her old pair to someone else even though she wore them more than 3/4 of the year last year.

Nice to deal with.

These are very comfortable shoes. The neoprene does stretch a little more than I would like so I'm not sure how they will handle hiking or a long day walking. I suspect they might begin to chafe. They are really comfortable both with socks and without so I think a day on the river will prove very enjoyable in these shoes. I typically wear a women's 8.5 so I ordered the big kid's 6 wide (they didn't have half sizes). I'm glad I didn't upsize to the 7 because it would have been way too big. As it was, these fit a little bit loose and were more than long enough. So I would say when ordering for an adult who isn't going to grow out of their shoes, order the half size down if you usually wear a half size shoe. As a woman, I find women's shoes lack a good supportive footbed, so I often check the boy's section of the shoe store for sport shoes. They are usually more supportive and half the price of the exact shoe in adult sizes.I have not tried hiking any distance in these shoes yet since it has been raining steadily here since the shoes arrived and the mountains still have snow. I have gone on short walks and they are fairly comfortable with a thick wool sock but they do move around too much and might cause hot spots or blisters on a longer walk/hike. Due to the stretchy nature of the neoprene I would suggest these shoes are better for water sports than for hiking.

I love love love these. We have had Keen summer sandals in the past and they worked well when the kids were little but would be too stiff as the kids grew older/bigger. These, however are absolutely fantastic. They have a more flexible sole which allows my super active 7 year old to play and have fun with foot flexibility. They also have more breathable openings than the ones we've had in the past. This is great for kids whose feet tend to sweat easily. Overall, I think these are well worth the price paid. We are partway through summer and they still look brand new with the exception of a blob of paint my son got on them. I would happily purchase these again next year. Love love love this updated version.

Despite not fitting like a glove, I love these shoes for Summer.I took it to a 3 weeks trip and walked and average of 6-8 hours a day.I had only 1 blister in one foot because I let it too loose and the skin was rubbing constantly.Otherwise, it's so easy to don and doff.Openings cool the feet and the sole is soft enough to give a comfortable walk.Their stylish and beautiful to look at.

We loved the colors and that the shoes are well-made. Very versatile; fit well; hapoy we purchased these
