KEEN Kids Hightrail Waterproof Hiking Shoes (Little Kid/Big Kid)
The KEEN Kids Hightrail Waterproof Hiking Shoe is a sneaker-fast hiker built for kids who don't stop moving. The KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane keeps puddle splashes and morning dew out while letting sweat escape, so little feet stay dry on muddy trails and wet grass. The all-terrain outsole grips loose dirt and slick rock, while easy-cinch elastic laces mean no knot-tying battles at the trailhead. A durable leather-and-mesh upper shrugs off scuffs, and the reinforced toe stands up to playground curbs and rock stubs alike. It's the shoe parents reach for when the forecast is iffy and the trail is still on.

Kids in regular sneakers come back from every hike with soaked, cold feet — and the boots that would fix it are so heavy and stiff the kids refuse to wear them. The KEEN Hightrail splits the difference: waterproof, grippy, and light enough to feel like a sneaker.
🏆 How It Compares
Lighter and easier on than a traditional kids' hiking boot, with the same KEEN.DRY waterproofing — the best pick for kids who'll fight a stiff boot but happily wear a sneaker-shaped hiker.
