MerrellUnisex-Child Bare Steps H20

My son loves these light weight even when wet. They run about a size big so we had to wait a bit to wear but would buy again

Seriously. These water shoes are so great that another family walked away with them at the pool. I guess I can't blame them, because these are soft and comfortable. They dry pretty well and stay on better than Natives and Crocs. We've already bought a second pair and are happy with the purchase.

I love this brand’s barefoot shoes for toddlers. The sole is super flexible and comfortable and my little one has no trouble walking in them. It makes walking through the locker rooms, showers, and pool deck much less hazardous, protects little feet, and gives good traction. My kid often ends up just swimming in them. Noticed a little fading from the chlorine, just like a swimsuit would eventually.

These shoes are perfect for my toddler's wide feet! They're easy to put on and take off. They have held up exceptionally well. Still in great condition after lots of use. They seem to be very comfortable for my kid. Highly recommend.

Have my toddler heel blisters at first, but after some break in time with band-aides, they’re fine. We wear them in puddles, in the pool, climbing over rocks, and for everyday use.

I found out about these shoes when looking for Stride Rite water shoes, because that brand was what my son’s pediatrician suggested for his wide feet so he wears SR tennis shoes in a 6.5W. As the weather in AZ has started warming up my son has wanted to start play with his water table and hose on the patio, and though his tennis shoes are supposed to be washable I didn’t want his shoes and socks getting soaked nor do I want him barefoot and slipping. So I purchased a 6.5W because knowing he may quickly outgrow these because water shoes being too big seems like a safety concern. Anyways, they fit, there is some but not excessive room in the toe area and the shoe is wide, has a nice Velcro grip and cute style. The reason I am disappointed, however is the seam around the ankle rubbed and scraped the back of his heels, painfully. I considered keeping them and putting bandages on his heels or having him wear socks, but he had no part in the bandages and one of the reasons for buying water shoes was not to have wet socks. So I am returning. My other problem with these shoes is the insole removed very easily but it doesn’t seem like they are removable just the adhesive to keep them in the shoe is weak and wore off after getting the shoe wet. I still need water shoes for my wide foot child so I am very disappointed that these won’t work for us. I should have taken note of the other review that mentioned the shoes also scraped their child’s heels.

Much larger than expected. We bought it for a last minute trip and couldn't use it. It's still a nice shoe so we'll save it for next year. Fix your sizes!

We loved these so much we bought them in several sizes. They fit my toddler’s chubby feet perfectly. They were great all summer for the pool, spray parks and hot days. They also wash well.
