Because these are used as water shoes, I should have ordered a half size down. They are loose without socks and caused blisters. My bad, but something to consider.

My 22 month old has very chubby feet and his sneakers are mostly Stride Rite Extra Wide. These fit him perfectly and he loves them. They dry quickly and are perfect for running round in wet conditions.

These were perfect for summer! True to size for my almost 2 year old, and he wore them every day without compliant. They dried quickly, which is nice because he wore them in the water a lot too! He wore them without socks and I never once noticed a smell!

These were the perfect summer shoes for my 1-year-old. They could be water shoes or everyday shoes, dried quickly, could be washed, stayed on, and seemed comfortable. As a new walker, not all shoes were easy for him to walk in, but these didn’t seem to trip him up. Plus they’re cute. Highly recommend!

They aren’t the cutest shoes I’ve ever seen, I’ll admit, but my fat-footed toddler needs wide shoes and these fit the bill. They fit him well with no problems, and they can easily serve as water play shoes. They’re closed in the back, so they’re preschool accepted as well. I appreciate the versatility and would re-purchase.

Very comfy shoes for my 15 month old son with wide chubby baby feet! Easy to slip on and he seemed comfortable walking around with them. Light weight and breathable. Run big though. I compared them to a Stride Rite size 5 (also wide), and they’re at least 1/2 inch longer (see picture). But my son seems fine walking in them anyway, so I’m keeping them. Can use as a light weight “sneaker” in the fall with socks too since they cover most of the foot.
I'd also recommend:
Stride Rite, Keen, New Balance

This is an interesting shoe. I got it for my kid for the entire summer, in and out of water. It looks like it might be designed to just be a water shoe, but it has an innersole that isn't straight plastic and will therefore not dry immediately. Of course, the fabric innersole isn't that great out of water either, as it will get stinky from bare feet. So, on both of those fronts, this isn't the best shoe I tried out for my toddler. The shoe is entirely mesh, which gives it a very light feel, and I'm worried about it lasting the season. However, the reason it was the winner is because the sole is thin and flexible. The other amphibious shoes, which were tougher and had straight plastic soles were inflexible and clunky.

My 2 yo has been wearing these for a couple weeks, and they seem to be comfortable. She happily puts them on, never complains about them, and she can run and climb to her heart's content! By end of summer, I think she may even be able to put them on by herself. It's a great summer shoe for kids!

My daughter loves these shoes. They immediately improved her walking, balance and coordination moving through all types of uneven surfaces. I will be purchasing only barefoot shoes for her moving forward. I cannot recommend these enough. Thanks for making them people of Merrel!

We love these so much! We live in a beach town and they're worn all summer long! I just wish this exact shoe could be made in bigger sizes. My five year old is begging for these in his size, and as a mom I am too!

This shoe is perfect for all our spring and summer adventures. Lightweight but with a sturdy toe. Adjustable Velcro closure makes them easy on and off. The toe opening is good for kids with wide feet. I bought two pair for when one gets wet. But they dry quickly.

Absolutely love these shoes! We have them in four different sizes as they are the ones that hold up best during the summer and that our son has no problem wearing all day. They stay on well and are easy to get on and off for little hands just learning to put on shoes. Highly recommend!

We got a pair of the blue and orange ones in a Stitch Fix box. My son wore them nonstop and won't wear anything other kind of shoe. We were able to compromise and get him to wear another color, thanks to the availability on this website. They're so durable outside of water and easy to clean.

We loved this water show/sandals for our twins last year when they were one and w will be buying new pairs again for this summer! Love that they are quick drying so kids can wear them into water and not worry about having soggy feet because they dry really quick! Also love the traction on them, we used them at GWL in the water park area too so nobody was slipping while running.

My 2 year old who insists on being barefoot will only wear and keep these shoes on. He loves these with his wide and chunky feet.

I find it utterly baffling that merrell doesn't make baresteps shoes past size little kids 10. I first purchased these 3-4 years ago for my now 8 year in size 10 and they were too small much to my disappointment. They are well made, flexible soles , wide toe box for a natural foot shape, easy to put on. Literally everything you look for in kids shoes. I just bought a pair in size 6 for my 17 month old and they immediately become his favorite over his soft sole moccasins. I think the sizing should be expanded to at least big kids size 2 if not size 4. That said I've been waiting years for that to happen to no avail so don't hold your breath!

They're a great shoe. My 3 year old can get them on and off easily and seems to enjoy wearing them so I'd assume they're comfortable.

Great summer shoes for my boys! They swim in them, play in them, hike in them. Comfy for them. True to size. I have them in 3 sizes because I like them so much!

My daughter loves these shoes! She wears them like regular sandals whenever we come across water she's able to instantly trek through and they dry pretty quickly as well as being washable!

Perfect for my toddler and LOVE that size 4.5 is available. I haven't found that option in any other shoe. We have used in the pool, on the beach, and both with and without socks. All work great!
