Customer Reviews Merrell Kids Moab 2 Mid Waterproof (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Nice shoes - hard to find good hiking shoes for kids. Our twins hike with us nearly every weekend and have had to wear athletic shoes in past because we couldn’t find true hiking shoes. Sorry but I’m laughing at the comment that these are sized for boys and not girls. I have boy/girl twins. Youth sizes are just that, YOUTH sizes - boys and girls sizes are exactly the same in youth for ALL brands.

I’m a women’s 7.5 (wide ideally) and I was looking for an inexpensive hiking boot! I got a big kid 6.5 wide and they fit perfectly with thick hiking socks. They are cute and MUCH less expensive than the women’s version of the same shoe. I haven’t worn them yet so I can’t comment on that but I just want to post my review so others can use my sizing for reference!

These are great boots, but beware! The big kids are sized for girls not boys!

I love these boots. I am a grown woman with problem feet and these boots are a dream come true for me. The size of my feet falls into that horrible shoe purgatory that's too wide for (most) women's sizes, too wide for kid's sizes and too small for men's. Shoe shopping has always been an exercise in tremendous frustration for me. When my last pair of snow/weather boots dry rotted after (an albeit impressive) 19 years, I was devastated. Thank goodness for Zappos. They have a better selection of sizes and brands than I have found anywhere else and their stellar return policy allows people like me to order multiple pairs of shoes, try them on in the comfort of my own home and then return what doesn't work - free of charge! Very grateful. When I ordered this boot, it only had 3 reviews - all 5 star, but 2 of the 3 mentioned that they thought it ran smaller. I crossed my fingers (and toes) and ordered. I really need a 6.5W and that is almost never available. This 7W fit my feet like they were made for me. (As a basis of comparison, I wear a David Tate 8W and Birkenstock sandal - can't wear their shoes, too narrow - 38R) These boots are super cushy, supportive, lightweight, warm, waterproof and easy on and off. And, OH MY GOODNESS, they're cute! I can't believe my luck at having found these. I'm going to order a second pair right now, just to have. Thank you, Zappos! Thank you, Merrell!

My son was able to take these out of the box and go on a week long intense hiking and climbing trip in the mountains in NC in early March, with no complaints! they’re banged up and beaten some, but it was literally a week of being outdoors and doing difficult trails. Thank you!

Purchased for a multi-day hiking/camping trip to National Parks. Supportive and lightweight; Merrell does not disappoint. Light gray is neutral. Much easier to get on and off than ankle-high boots. Highly recommend!

Get the shoe size you normally need- do not trust the size chart.

Heavy but sturdy shoe that will need wear and tear before our vacation. They seem heavy as they walk but good protection against the elements.

These shoes run small!

My son loves to wear Merrell shoes. These shoes were great for the end of winter when there wasn't as much snow on the ground. Waterproof and comfortable. He will be able to wear them through the summer and, into the fall early winter. Very good looking shoe.

Fits my son's wide foot well and he said they were comfortable.

My daughter felt very comfortable in these shoes for a long hike, paired with a midweight wool sock. They have a rugged sole, but were not heavy. She is 8 and was able to lace and tie them herself. The laces were a perfect length for a double knot.

I bought this "Kids Moab 2- Mid" in blue/grey for myself! In big kids size 6 - Wide. I bought one just like it in women size 7.5 -Wide a couple of yrs ago. The difference as far as colours go, is the colour of the laces: in women = grey laces, in kids = blue..... and the price, of course, it's cheaper in kids, almost half the price of women's pair. I actually found the kids Moab-2 more comfortable than the women Moab-2: both are "wide" width, but the feel wearing them somehow different. Another differences are: the laces in kids Moab-2 are too thin, too skinny! Wuzzup with that?!! And the toe guards in Kids Moab-2 don't quite reach the toes, nor protect my toes wearing them, can visibly see where my toes are, on the soft fabric area of the boots, those toe guards need to come up higher! But these flaws aren't a deal breaker for me, considering the price, style, colours I like.... I'll keep them. Yes, I would recommend this big kids Moab-2 to women who wear about the same size I do and prefer wider width with more room for your toes, looking for affordable light hiking boots, with a trusted and quality brand name.
