Help Needed! Hiking Boots for Small Feet

[akula83]

I gave up trying to find quality leather hiking boots or work boots for my kid.
Found these instead:

Vasque Breeze. They don't have leather uppers, but the soles are really nice. Supportive and protective with great treads. Don't know if they're just for little kids, or if they have larger youth sizes as well.

Vasque did/does make a high quality hiking boot, last pair lasted 7 years before the tread wore away.

Not sure if Salomon makes small sizes like that but check them out just in case. They make some freaking awesome boots. Was looking for a pair of hiking shoes/boots to wear at one of my previous jobs that required a lot of walking but still wanted something a little stronger and I stumbled upon a pair of Salomons at my local dicks. They looked sweet as hell but the price tag was $160. They're the Ultra Mid GTX. Had all the quality you would expect of course, Gortex water resistant material, removable/replaceable in soul, great stitching and what not.

I didn't want to spend that much and the only pair they had was 10.5, but I typically wore a 11.5 or 11. Tried them on for the hell of it and I knew after 2 minutes I had to buy them. To my surprise they fit perfectly even being a smaller size. Super snug and tight but not uncomfortable, just right. Best damn things I've ever had on my feet, ever. I'd wear these walking, hiking, and Id wear these if it was the friggin end of the world zombie apocalypse type crap.


Edit::::
Actually it does look like they make youth shoes, but they seem to be mostly funky colors. A bit different then their adult line. Check them out though just in case here

Hmm their hiking shoes actually look pretty good for the youth sizes, and they aren't too flashy either, but the heel looks like it might be a bit low, idk. I'll definitely keep Salomon in mind though. I think I may have had some skiing boots by them before, but I never realized they made other shoes as well.

Danner makes some smaller sizes as well both in their hiking boots and combat boots. Tough and very comfortable boots.
