Merrell decked out the kids' Speed Mid A/C Waterproof hiking boot with a hook-and-loop strap so we can spend more time on the trail and less time getting shoes off and on. These little hikers feature a waterproof membrane that keeps their feet from getting soaked as they stomp through puddles while the Float Foam midsoles dole out soft cushioning to keep them comfortable on the trail. That lets them join us on the trail or enjoy some waterproof play after school.
