Title: Where can I find little boots?
Post by: jasnt on February 22, 2015, 11:33:51 AM: My daughter loves hiking and she'd hunting with me. Boots are always the trouble. I just can't seem to find good boots for her. Where can I find good boots for hiking in kids sizes?

Need them to be water proof. Comfortable with good traction, keep her feet dry and warm. Quiet is a plus and would prefer they didn't brake the bank as she will most likely grow out of them each season.

Any help would be great
<$100
Size 2

Why go to REI in full camo? You mean like head to to camo?

As for kids sizes. Wait til they reach the tween stage. Size 6-7. Most kids stop at 6 and most adults start at size 8. I was only able to find 3 options for my son at size 7.
Cabelas also had a good selection in stock.
Look at Zappos online. They allow you to return boots up to a year later. We will buy 2 or 3 pairs try them for a few weeks and return the pairs not approved.

Post by: RadSav on February 22, 2015, 04:04:20 PM: Keen, Hi-Tech, Columbia and Merrell all make some pretty good kids boots. Sierra Trading is generally very limited. Zappos usually has the best selection I've seen in kids. And there 24/7 customer service is great!

You can print out shoe sizing charts and stick her feet on the paper to see the size then if they don't fit free return shipping.

I purchased my son the keen youth hiking boots in October on our way to deer camp when he let me know his old boots wouldn't fit. I tried every store in the area and no one had his size. Finally stopped into Coastal Farm and Supply and found some Keens that fit him. Best choice I could have made for him. They fit him great and no issues with his feet. I hiked his tail off for a few days.
