The Merrell Nova 2 is a kids' trail runner built like a smaller version of Merrell's adult trail shoes. It has a breathable textile upper, a hook-and-loop strap for quick on and off, a reinforced toe for durability, and a non-marking M Select Grip outsole for traction on dirt and pavement. It suits active kids who hike, run and play outside. Against basic kids' sneakers it adds trail grip and toe protection; against sturdier hiking boots it is lighter and less supportive on rough ground.
