Would be good but that Velcro strap..

The shoes have good traction and my 3 year old could put them on herself, but the Velcro strap wore out within a month and now they are unusable. Pretty disappointed!!

Picky toddler loves these shoes!

My toddler loves these shoes! She is super picky about shoes and has to have room to move her toes. These shoes have had no complaints and she wears them to softball!

Low quality versus other Merrells

These broke down very easily and we were not able to clean them after several attempts. We’ve bought many merrells for our kids and these were such poor quality in comparison. We haven’t even had these two months and I’m already finding a replacement.

Not durable to toddler play

Cute shoes, but toddler wore a hole in the toe box within 3 weeks. We have loved the barefoot h2o shoes for her and were disappointed that the quality of these shoes were not up to normal toddler wear.

Love these

Love these toddler barefoot shoes, really sad that they don’t go up to any higher sizes! We always buy two sets – one for home and one for daycare. Not sure what we will do without them after size 10! Only feedback would be that the Velcro on the daycare pair always ends up shredded and not very sticky with the constant on & offs, but the home pair never ends up like that.

A battle to put on but the best fit for takeoff

Pros: flexible but sturdy Cons: difficult to get on, run big To start off, I printed the sizing guide, followed the directions, and ordered a 4.5 for my little. When they came in, they were WAY TOO BIG. He had over an inch of space at the toe and would trip while wearing them due to the extra space. I sent them back and downsized to a 4 which only left approximately 1/2" of space of growing room. My little took time to get used to their weight as a barefoot baby, his only shoes prior were extremely lightweight and flexible but I wanted something more durable for the winter months. I recently switched over to merrel myself and I wish they had something more like the vaporglove for him. They are a bit stiff and hard to get on at times due to the inability to unlace them (although a quality a wanted so my little wouldn't untie them). He moves around very well in them and the better grip keeps him from slipping as much as the previous brand we were using to just get him used to shoes.

Smart and sturdy (and maybe good for the foot?)

Got a pair for my 2yo. I liked the barefoot water sandals and am not disappointed by these sneakers. Good quality and broad toe box in a light shoe was exactly what I was looking for.

Hard to put on.

Pros: Flexible sole, available in wide sizes. Cons: Too hard to put on. My kid loved the bare steps boots and the water shoes, but these are impossible to put on his feet. We wore these (tried to wear these) this year and I bought another pair a size bigger to take advantage of the sale at the time. Now we won't wear the next size and wasted money.

Did not hold up

Unfortunately these got a big hole on the big toe after only 2 weeks of wear. They did not withstand the active life of a toddler.
