Outdoor Shoes for Kids

Girls' Merrell Intercept Kids
Making the great outdoors just a little bit greater.

It’s about time you told your kids to take a hike. But if you want them to actually, ya know, return home, you might want to make sure they’ve got the best outdoor kids shoes on the market. Here’s a few tips to find the perfect outdoor girls’ shoes and boys’ shoes for that afternoon recess.

Get a grip.

In the schoolyard or backyard, the first feature your hiking shoes for kids should have is an outsole with traction across varied terrain. Sure kids are going to roll around on the ground just like I do (what? It’s fun!), but with slip-resistant and multi-directional lugs, you can make sure they fall down on their own terms.

Put their toes on guard.

Kids are attracted to things that go bump in the night…and the day. Especially out on the trail. That’s why I always suggest KEEN trail sandals for kids with their patented toe protection to keep little toes safe in those “hit and runs”.

Take a rain check.

Kids never check the forecast, so their shoes need to be ready no matter what Al Roker says. Kids’ hiking boots are a perfect choice to keep little toes warm and dry with water-resistant and waterproof linings.

And the kitchen sink.

Of course, there’s so much more to look for in girls’ hiking shoes and boys’ hiking shoes. From breathable mesh to secure hook-and-loop closures to the most important feature of all: Comfort. Cause let’s face it, if they’re not comfortable in kids’ trail shoes, they’re going to let you know…and then you won’t be comfortable.

But enough talk. It’s time for action. Hit the trail today by checking out all our kids’ hiking shoes for girls and boys.
