Get ready to head out on a hiking adventure with your family in the best gear around. We’ve gathered up our favorite hiking boots for kids who want to climb, jump in streams and rake in the miles. You’ll find easy-on boots for little ones and even a few short styles for those who want more of a hiking shoe than a boot.

We pretty much love everything about this hiking boot from KEEN including the Bellows Flex technology that bends where other boots crack and weaken over time. You'll love the easy-on velcro top.
