Low cut, mid cut or high ankle: choosing the right cuff height
The same way as adults models, kids hiking boots and shoes come in three cuff heights, low, mid and high. Of course, each has its own specificities.
Low cut models are perfect to let your kid’s ankles move freely. This flexibility allows children to fully enjoy hiking with you. They are not recommended for young hikers who have weak ankles.

For a combination of safety and range of motion, try mid cut models. With an intermediate cuff height, you get the best balance so that your kid can enjoy any type of hike, especially short to medium distances.
