These Merrell kids' shoes are perfect for outdoor fun. To put them on, you can use the traditional laces for a tight fit or the alternative closure for a quicker option. When you're out and about, the waterproof feature will keep your feet dry, and the cushioned footbed will make walking or running more comfortable. For maintenance, just wipe the shoes with a damp cloth after use. If they get really dirty, you can use a mild soap. Don't worry if the flocking material on the outsole peels off; it's normal and won't affect how well the shoes work. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use to make them last longer.
