Child size walking boots with good ankle support for dd1(21yrs) who has tiny feet

Dd1 has tiny feet-(size one and half to two). She does a lot of walking with her partner but has problems with her ankles due to fibromyalgia so needs boots that give decent ankle support, all the children ones that she has looked at don't seem to have much so wondering if any walkers amongst you have advice on brands to look at?

We had a pair of Gelert for DS at that size. They were the children’s version of the adult ones and seemed to have the same support.

This was a fair few years ago but here are some similar- apologies that it’s a sports direct link, I know they’re controversial!

She might need to order some things online, try, and then return most of them – proper children's walking boots seem to be a bit niche, so even a big outdoor shop might not have more than a couple of styles, and the more common walking shoes or trail shoes don't tend to have the ankle support.

Scarpa do a couple children's styles that are proper walking boots, including a full leather one (currently on sale at Scarpa itself: https://www.scarpa.co.uk/products/little-terra). Scarpa are one of the narrower boot brands, though, so if she's got a short but wide foot, they might not fit.

I think Meindl and Merrell both have a children's walking boot as well, although not sure I've seen full leather, and they are wider fitting.

Or Peter Storm and Regatta do a couple of walking boots – they likely won't last as long as some of the others, but then, they're at a lower price point. I also have small feet (although larger than your daughter), and I've had a couple pairs of the Regatta children's trail shoes and thought they were good for what I paid (they go on sale regularly, and the sale often stacks with a discount code). Not tried the walking boots, though, unfortunately.

Little Terra

The kid’s Terra is a classic brown walking boot designed specifically for children’s feet. The Terra Kids has a sturdy leather upper designed to be comfortable but also offer good levels of ankle protection for young adventures. A waterproof lining pro...
