THE NORTH FACEFastpack Hiker Mid WP - Youth

My daughter went on a hiking trip with her school and she said that she loves the boots when it rained her feet did not get wet at all and they were very comfortable to wear the whole day. They are also true to size.

My son took these to camp for a month in Wyoming. He did not get them until the day before he left but did not have any trouble breaking them in. He also said he got them wet but his feet stayed dry. True to size so we sent the bigger pair back.

Purchased for my son looked very decent and had a nice fit

Expensive but worth it! Well made and keeps my daughter’s feet and ankles happy on long hikes. Bought the same pair two years ago and when she out grew them I bought them again.

13yr old son loved them on his school excursion. We bought many different brands ahead of the hike. Opted to go with this pair based on feel, and added an elastic lace system to make them easier to manage on the hike (he's garbage at tying shoes even at this age).

Bought these for my 10-yr old daughter, and she hiked for 14 days in these. No wear-in period, and when given the option, she chose these over her running/casual shoes. She’s begged to have them in the next size up in case they stop making them.

These shoes excel in mild to moderate outdoor conditions, offering superb waterproofing that keeps feet dry in wet environments. However, it may not provide sufficient insulation for very cold temperatures, making it less suitable for winter's harshest days. The shoe boasts a striking color that captures attention and adds to its appeal. Yet, durability concerns arise with the reported breakage of the lace system, particularly the lace loop at the back, which could impact the shoe's long-term use and functionality. Despite this, its stunning design and reliable waterproofing make it a noteworthy choice for young hikers in search of style and performance in less extreme conditions.

Comfort, style, and function! And my son loves them!
