What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This is a true hiking boot built for kids—waterproof, stable, and grippy. The taller shaft offers ankle support on uneven terrain, the GORE-TEX lining keeps feet dry, and the fit is tailored for growing feet without sacrificing durability."Designed for active young adventurers, the Cadin GTX Mid Hiking Boot brings big-boot performance to smaller feet. The split leather and fabric upper is backed by a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, so feet stay dry in muddy fields, rainy trails, or dewy grass. A taller shaft adds ankle stability and trail protection, while the supination-control design helps prevent ankle roll—perfect for energetic kids exploring uneven ground. Underfoot, the DynaPU midsole cushions every step, and the LOWA® TRAC® LITE Junior outsole grips confidently on dirt, gravel, and wet terrain. Built on a kids’-specific last, this boot delivers the fit, comfort, and performance growing hikers need to keep up with the adventure.
