I am seven years old. I like them, they have really good grip. I can hike really, really far with them. They are good boots.

I bought these boots for my 8-year-old son to wear around this winter. He loves them! They are more flexible and comfortable than his big snow boots, allowing him to run and play, but they are warm and protect his feet from snow and slush.

I bought these for my 9-year-old daughter for a trip to Australia. She says they are very light and comfortable. She has worn them on many hikes now, including one of 12 km. Uphill, downhill, sandy, stony; no blisters or complaints. Looks like she will outgrow them before they wear out.

Yes, he loves these shoes. We hiked up Cascade and Porter in the Adirondacks. Not one single blister or hotspot in that first wearing. So glad we found these boots. He needs a wider bed for the ball of his foot and these worked out great though not a specific wide shoe.

I bought these for my 11-year old son to wear primarily for Boy Scout activities. I bought them because they were billed as waterproof, and we treated them with additional waterproofing before first use. Their first test was a camp-out and five mile hike in the White Mountains, unfortunately during a period of 24 hour rain. The shoes soaked through, but they took about 8 hours to do so. To be fair, EVERYTHING soaked through on this day - GoreTex raingear, my husband's all-leather Vasque boots, etc - partially due to everything being wet, including performance clothing, which pulled the wetness into boots and under rain gear, so it's hard to be too hard on these boots alone. On a less rainy day or a shorter time out they would have kept his feet dry. My son finds them very comfortable with no break in time and thinks they look cool. Overall, a good performance boot for a reasonable price.
