Should Children Hike in Boots Or Sneakers?

Nature is unpredictable so you'll want sturdy shoes that protects their feet. If your hiking trips typically consist of easy, flat trails free from rocks and inclines, your child will likely be fine wearing most types of hiking shoes. However, if you want to take your child on longer adventures with rough terrain, then a good pair of hiking boots is important.

Waterproof hiking boots will keep their feet dry should they jump across streams or walk through mud. Whether you’re headed on an afternoon hike in another state or exploring the woods your own backyard, they’ll be ready for any type of terrain.

Are Hiking Boots Good Everyday Shoes for Kids?

Hiking shoes are a step up from your basic, everyday shoes, as they give you added traction and stability essential for wear on the trail. But we wouldn’t recommend them as everyday footwear. Instead, opt for shoes that pull double-duty. For a nimble alternative to boots, consider hiking sneakers in a low-cut design or sandals. You’ll avoid bulky boots and instead have lightweight footwear that lets them run faster and more comfortably.

Hiking Shoe Styles

If you prefer a more minimalist style of shoe for children, hiking sandals and sneakers are great alternatives. Look for footwear with flexible soles and supportive footbeds that they can walk comfortably in. These options are stylish enough to wear all day and with any outfit.

Kid’s Hiking Sandals

Some of your adventures might take you to places where the temperature is just too hot and boots would make the walk a bit more uncomfortable. Hiking sandals keep them on the path forward with reinforced rubber fronts that protect their toes, as well as durable traction soles for even more stability.

Kid’s Hiking Sneakers

Hiking sneakers are a lightweight option that lets them run faster and more freely. Although they don't have the same level of ankle support that boots offer, they tend to be more thin and flexible. This makes them perfect for activities other than hiking such as walking and camping.
