Best Hiking Boots for Boys of 2025

"My toddler wore these high-quality hiking boots for three hours and 3 miles! We had him break them in for about a week before we went on a hike. They worked so well, I thought they were worth the money we spent on them. They fit him perfectly with no sores, pinching, or blisters. They are lightweight and perfect for hiking."

"I was initially hesitant to buy shoes my kid hadn't tried on, but these turned out to be a great investment! I chose a size 13, hoping they'd be a bit bigger, and they fit just right. The first time my kid wore them, we went on a 5-mile hike through rough terrain, and they said their feet felt great. They are well-built and sturdy, and my kid loves the purple color!"

"We do a lot of hiking as a family, and I've always bought Keens for my son. These Merrells are so much more comfortable. They provide excellent support, and the grip is much better. My son loves the gray and orange color. We haven't had them long, but they seem very well made."

"I got these shoes for my boys to enjoy the outdoors. They find them very comfortable and they hold up well on various terrains. Supportive for their ankles and feet!"

"I ordered a women's 6.5 in size 5.5, and it fits me perfectly. However, while hiking in Nepal, I did slip twice, so I'd rate the grip 85 out of 100. I love that they're waterproof!"

"I’ve owned multiple pairs of Merrell products for years. They might not be the best hiking shoes, but they fit my slightly wide and flat feet perfectly. They last a long time and the waterproofing exceeds my expectations!"

"I bought these shoes for my grandson, and he absolutely loves them. They fit well and have a durable sole, making them easy for him to put on and take off."

"My son is quite picky, but he really likes these boots. They look great and are comfortable to wear."

"I got these boots for a family gathering, and while they are very nice looking and seem well made, they were a bit snug around the ankle."

“I bought these for my daughter, and we went hiking around the Grand Canyon. She found them comfortable and loved that they kept her feet dry. They are extremely durable and lightweight.”

“My daughter wore these on a hiking trip to Iceland. They were super comfy, fit well, and provided excellent support on long hikes through challenging terrain. I highly recommend them!”

“These boots fit my 11-year-old perfectly. She completed a 7-mile hike without any complaints at all.”

"I bought these for my 10-year-old son, and he absolutely loves them. He's been wearing them around the house and can't wait to take them hiking. They're comfortable and stylish, perfect for snow and hiking with lots of traction on the soles."

"I got these boots for my four-year-old who wanted hiking boots for 'Mount Everest.' They work great and are good quality for the price, looking just like 'dad's' boots!"

"I purchased these for my kids, and the fit is perfect! They're very warm, and my kids love them."

"I went hiking in the mountains and they held up amazing! I can be a bit clumsy, but I didn't slip or fall once. The shoes really helped me keep my grip, and I didn't have any sores. The laces were extremely long, but we just cut and adjusted them ourselves."

"My son absolutely loved these shoes! We got them before our trip to Iceland, and they were really comfortable for hiking all week. However, they did get wet when we were caught in the rain, so I’d say they are just water-resistant. Still, we appreciate how comfy they are right out of the box!"

"My daughter wears these almost every day since I bought them, and she loves them! They were meant to be a backup, but they've become her primary shoes. The only issue is that the laces are super thin and come untied easily, so she has to double knot them. Other than that, they hold up extremely well!"

“I purchased a similar pair of Reebok hikers previously, and even though they were brown, my granddaughter found them comfortable for her hikes. After trying these, she insists they are COMFORTABLE too. I trust her as she walks extensively on rocky trails, and I appreciate the ankle support they provide.”

“We’ve had these shoes for less than a month, and I’m disappointed to see the outside tearing already, indicating they might need replacement soon.”

“After just two days of hiking, the sole started to separate due to glue issues. However, I think it’s not bad for the price.”

“I think these boots are really cute, and they fit my toddler nicely. He walks comfortably in them, and for the price, they’re a good deal. I would definitely buy again in a larger size.”

“I really enjoy these boots, but I’ve noticed they can start to wear out at the front with my active child. If your kid plays a lot, keep the quality in mind. Overall, they’re still decent.”

“My little one absolutely adores these boots and asks for them all the time. They were a fantastic purchase!”

"I was searching for comfortable footwear and was pleasantly surprised to find it in these shoes."

"I had the chance to try the boots. My son wore them at -15°C and his socks never got wet, nor did he feel cold. Honestly, they are much better than I expected."

"My son is a fan of these shoes. They are super stylish and very comfortable. The sizing is accurate, and even during the break-in period, they felt great for walking, playing, or light hiking."

"I bought these for my 9-year-old for camping and four-wheeling. He said they were comfortable, fit great, and held up well, even after getting too close to the fire. You will not be disappointed with this purchase!"

"I got two pairs for my kids and both fit wonderfully. They kept their feet warm in the snow, provided good traction, and were waterproof. I highly recommend these boots!"

"These boots are perfect for my son’s Boy Scout campouts. They fit great and are more comfortable than his sneakers. Size 4 was a perfect match for his 3.5 foot size."
