German boot specialists allow for growing room so kids’ boots last longer. 
 
The big problem with outdoor footwear for kids is that they’re constantly growing, so fit is generally an issue with extra growing room needed for longer life. Meindl however, reckons it has the answer with its range of high quality children’s footwear including a removable ‘Best Fit’ footbed.

The removable footbed which comes as standard in all Meindl’s children’s footwear features a ‘Best Fit’ line on the insole outlining an essential 12mm of growing room which should mean the footwear lasts longer.

There are Magic and Trekking models in the range, all made to Meindl’s adult standards and featuring a mix of materials and shock absorbing cushioning tailored to young feet.

The Magic Junior Mid – below – is made with a water resistant velour leather/cordura upper material and features a Clima lining. It’s intended for trekking use with some ankle protection from the higher cuff plus a protective rand right round the boot.

An Air-Active footbed helps to keep the foot cool and comfortable and the MTH Junior Latex rubber profile provides good shock absorption on a variety of different surfaces. It’s available in sizes 26 – 39 with an R.R.P of 39.99 – 44.99

The Tampa Junior Mid is made with a mix of velour leather and cordura and again has a Clima lining. The MTH Junior Latex rubber sole unit with EVA insole is intended to give stability and grip in all directions. There’s also a rubber toe bumper to protect boot and toes. It is available in sizes 26 – 39, R.R.P. 42.50 – 47.50.

Finally the Little Magic 3000 shoe is intended to work for a mix of outdoor and everyday playground use. Again it uses a velour leather/cordura outer and a Clima lining, Active-Air Best Fit footbed and MTH Junior Latex rubber, it says here.

And yes, they do look cute as well. More information on Meindl in the UK from www.bramwell-int.co.uk
