Finding the right kids hiking boots can be even more difficult that it is for women. Realizing your child’s feet are still growing, a parent may think it is wise to buy a kids hiking boots a size to big. We recommend that you absolutely do not do this. The hiking boot is one of the most important hiking gear. To be able to have a successfull hike your kids hiking boots must fit snugly with little movement inside the boot. As stated before you should be able to wiggle your toes. Ignoring this almost garauntees that your child will get blister and very sore feet. If you find that you have no choice but to buy a bigger size. Stay with in a half size bigger and wear two pairs of hiking socks. This will make the foot snug but at the same time it will allow the foot to breath.
Although this is not recommended, it is an option if your child’s foot is at the in between size or you want to make the boot last a little longer. we have two recommended brands for children.
