Best hiking boots I know for a Montana kid

These are the absolute best kids hiking/ adventure boots I have found. Appropriate for a new walker or older kid too. Just enough structure to protect but not so much the foot is stifled. Comes up around the ankle to keep sticks/rocks/grasses from getting in. The outsole is super grippy and great for climbing on rocks. My little one loves that they look like “workbooks”. I went back to order the next size up but sadly looks like these are discontinued. Merrell please bring them back! The low ankles don’t work as well for hiking and field work.

Best toddler shoe.

My son has had Merell bare steps since he could walk. This would make his 6th pair and he is 5 now. We like the hiking boot, we are outdoors a lot. I hope they never stop making bare steps for toddlers. When he gets older, vapor/trail glove all the way, like mommy and daddy.

Great sturdy shoe

Great sturdy shoe for my active two-year-old twins. They stay on, seem comfortable, and have held up well. We wear them mostly for play in the yard and short hikes.

Buy these!

Love these! Easy to put on, water resistant (good for everyday walks - not for splashing in puddles), and my 2 year old actually asks to wear them!

Perfect for an unstoppable toddler

We absolutely love these shoes so far! The toes and tread stand up to our busy little man. After everyday wear and a few hikes they still look brand new. Already bought the next size because we love our Merrells!

Perfect!

These are great toddler shoes! My son loves them and he is a wild animal so I appreciate how sturdy they are.

My two year old’s favorite shoes!

Such a roomy toe box for little ones toes to spread out! Great fit. True to size. Super well made. Definitely recommend.

Great for new walkers

My 13 month old is a new walker and these have been great for varied terrain, protecting her little feet, plus giving her ankle support and confidence in walking. Will probably continue to buy as she grows.

Great but not totally waterproof

Ought these for my 3.5 year old. I’m not sure how waterproof they are. We walked through a wet grassy field and his shoes were wet inside. That may have been going in through the top. Overall they seem sturdy, flexible wider soles and best of all he can get the shoes on by himself.

Velcro failed

My grandkids had 4 pairs of these. They wore them constantly but the velcro stopped sticking and that was annoying to have the top wide open.
