The toddler hiking boots are generally well-made and durable, suitable for outdoor activities like hiking and playing in mud and water. Many parents appreciate the sturdy construction, rugged sole, and waterproof feature. However, some find the boots difficult to get on, especially for younger toddlers, and note they run small. A few also mentioned the boots are stiff and clunky, making it hard for toddlers to walk comfortably. Despite these drawbacks, most parents are satisfied with the quality and performance of the boots.
LL Bean, please make your toddler boots and shoes in the natural shape of a toddler foot! This boot is too narrow for my toddler's foot. Take a look at the comparison between the L

I got these last fall for my 2-year-old in hopes they'd be good for hiking. While they were sturdy shoes, they were obviously quite clunky too and they were very hard to get on, ev

These boots are great once you can get them on but it was a pain to get them on my toddlers feet. They’re very tight. She’s a size 6.

Stiff and heavy

Nice shoes for an adult. So cute, but we wore once and my 2.5 year old kept tripping with one foot over the other. Too heavy and stiff for us.

Great but could be better
The shoes are great, although they might run a little small, it’s hard to tell. Our biggest complaint is that the tongue doesn’t connect on the sides and so you have gaps between

Cute boots, well made and rugged, but hard to get boot on the toddler. I went a full size larger.and couldn’t get her foot through the opening, maybe the boot is too stiff?
