Deals 👍 Quechua MH500, Waterproof Hiking 🥾 Boots, Kids’ 👏

Perfect for covering mountain trails! The sole provides excellent grip, its strengthened leather upper gives good support, and its waterproof membrane keeps feet dry.

Our team, themselves parents, developed this technical boot for kids to walk in whatever the weather.

Sole grip

Sole design that has been the subject of extensive research in our laboratories, combined with a specific rubber formulation to optimize grip and traction. We always search for the best compromise for muddy and dry terrain since all needs are different.

Waterproofing test

Laboratory- and field-tested, these boots ensure optimal waterproofing and breathability. First, the boot is immersed in water while internal air pressure is applied to check that no bubbles form on the surface of the footwear. Next, the boots are fitted to a mechanical arm that simulates walking and half immersed in water so we can test that the inside of the boot remains perfectly dry.

Making waterproofing last longer

The waterproofing of boots is often compromised because water gets in at the collar of the boot. So to keep your feet dry for longer, it’s advisable to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter that will prevent water as well as pebbles, sand, etc. from getting inside through the top. It is advisable to use a waterproof spray several times a year. This restores the original water-repellent properties and prevents staining.

Purchase advice

Have kids try on both boots standing up, with the socks used for hiking. Try on several styles and sizes if necessary. Check the following 2 areas of comfort: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot going down. There should be no compression points when fitting. Encourage kids to walk in them in the store. Kids should gradually wear in the boots during their 1st few hikes so that they conform to their feet.

Which size should you choose?

For hiking, do not hesitate to choose 1 size above your usual size to ensure optimal comfort when going downhill and prevent your toes from hitting the front of the boot. Tip: Keep your toenails short and, before descending, check that your lacing prevents your foot from sliding forward inside the boot.
