Hands down, these are the best shoes I've ever worn. Well, not this particular pair, but this style. I am a woman, and typically I wear Womens shoes, not Kids. But the Kids Jungle Moc appeared to be identical to the Womens model, so I gave this one a try because the Womens shoe was not available in my size (37). And the Kids shoe was. The only difference I notice is that the Kids 37 is both longer and wider than the Womens. I have to wear very thick wool socks with these to make them fit. I have partial paralysis in my right leg and weakness in my foot which results in drop toe. Couple that with relaxed arches, and walking can be very difficult with shoes that don't provide excellent support. These shoes offer good, solid support, exceptional comfort--and because the front of the sole (the toe) curves upward, I don't stub my toe like I do with other brands and styles. The Jungle Moc has gotten me through two springs semesters of teaching at a university in Shandong Province, China, and they still look great. A lot of walking is required, living in that city. And my Jungle Mocs held up to the wear and tear and helped me go through days that I otherwise wouldn't have made it through. That is the plain, unvarnished truth! I hope this style NEVER stops being made. The newer Merrell styles are cuter, maybe, but they aren't as supportive, and the cut and fit are different. Please, please, Merrell, never stop making your Jungle Mocs. I don't think I'd be able to get around without them!

i need kids size sneakers for my small feet. merrell's are as they always were. reliable, comfortable. they make me smile and remember my first pair...

Our 4-year-old girl presents an interesting wardrobe challenge. She wants to be girly, but she DESTROYS shoes with her hard-core activity level. The Blue Iris Jungle Moc satisfied her wish to be "pretty", but lives up to our expectation that shoes should last more than two weeks. The fit was true to size. If I have any complaint, it's that the difference between left and right is too subtle for her to easily divine -- but nothing that a black sharpie marking an "L" and "R" on the interior sole couldn't fix!

I love my jungle mocs! I have several pairs of them now.

Here I am buying the exact same shoe for my daughter in the next size up. As a matter of fact she has probably owed 3 or 4 of this Merrell shoe. I spent 2 hours in a mall yesterday looking through stacks of shoes and nothing compares to the these shoes. My daughter is very fussy about fit and this shoe comes in half sizes, which is great. We live in a big city, and this shoe is much more protective than other mesh top slip ons and it functions like a tennis shoe in terms of traction and bounce. Very rugged for a very outdoor child.
