Merrell Kids Unisex Bare Steps Ridge Boot

I love these. They fit my son perfectly. It took some getting used to because of the high ankle support but now he is cruising in them. They stay on and protect his little feet. I love that they are wide toe box and low profile sole so his feet have room to grow and not be misshapen.

We love these shoes! They have become the everyday favorite for my 2.5 (almost 3) year old. She wears them to daycare, and they are perfect for all-day wear in the fall/winter months. They have good traction for walking & hiking on dirt trails, and the slightly higher ankle keeps out the dust and rocks. These do seem pretty wide and large for the size. This may be intentional since the barefoot style allows for flexibility and for the toes to spread out. I love this, especially for shoes she wears all day at school. They are lightweight, very easy on/off and the retro styling is adorable. These are absolutely worth the investment! We will likely get a full year of wear out of them.
