Wide Toe Box
Parents are highly satisfied with the wide toe box of Merrell Unisex-Child Trail Glove 7 hiking shoes, allowing their children to maintain balance and flexibility while hiking. The shoes have received positive feedback for accommodating wider feet and providing a natural toe splay. Some parents have compared it favorably to other brands they've tried, such as Splay shoes and Teva classic sandals. However, a few customers have reported issues with the sole separating from the upper shoe.
Highlights
Quality
Merrell makes a durable shoe, these are good quality.
These are the best shoes for my kid so far, as time to complete destruction goes.

Price
For the price point, i was hoping they'd hold up a little longer.
-zeazoo kids: lovely little shoes, but higher priced and again, i don't love leather care with kid shoes.
Competitiveness
The picture shows a pair of lems, splays and these merrells for comparison.
He and i wear the same size shoe, so i've also tried this pair on - i wear both minimalist and regular shoes.
They're high priced, at least they last fairly well compared to other kid's shoes.
