Kids' Vasque Breeze

Having a small foot causes some problems when it comes to buying a good boot. Although these are a children's size, they are available in women's sizes too and I highly recommend them. Felt great in the store and had no break in period later. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone needing a great boot for steep hiking. I bought them for use at our property in the Okanogan forest but fully intend to continue wearing them here on our property too!

My son likes these boots. They are comfortable and waterproof. Can't comment on durability, but so far so good.

I bought a pair of these boots for my son last week to give him a chance to break them in before we start our summer hiking season in earnest. Today, we took them out for a test drive. We did a four hour hike in Starved Rock State Park in Illinois, which contains rugged, wet sandstone canyons, muddy trails, sandy trails, and long staircases. My son and I scrambled all over slippery rocks all of which were wet and some of which were icy. The boots had a great grip, and supported his ankles very well. We also forded some icy streams that were almost to the tops of his boots, and there was no leakage. Finally, despite having worn these boots once before -- at the store when we were buying them -- my son did not complain at all about discomfort, blisters, fit, or stiffness. In fact, he only complained when it was time to leave, as there were 12 other canyons to explore. We'll see how these boots hold up in the long term, but I am so very pleased with them so far. Shawnee National Forest, here we come!

This is a great shoe for the price. My son goes through shoes like crazy and these are still in one piece. We camp and hike every weekend and these shoes haven't given him one blister. The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is that the laces were WAY too short (to triple knot) and I had to go to the store and buy some laces so my son could wear them.

I bought these for my son when he became a boy scout. We have used these boots in soaking wet NW rainforest conditions and in cold temperatures and he has never complained about them. We are going to buy the next size up in this next time.

First thing that struck me about these boots was what a great price they are. Straight out of the box and my 7 year old daughter has managed a couple of 8 mile + hikes on moderate terrain without any blisters or hotspots, she also loves the boots because they look like dads! To early to say how they will wear, but I'm betting she will grow out of them before they show any signs. Only comment would be they seem quiet heavy, but this is only an observation on my part - not a complaint from my daughter!
