NOT BAD

Well made, reasonable insole

Uppers pretty thin

Bought these a year or so ago to replace the brown goretex Meindls, whatever they're called, as the sole was meant to be a bit stiffer. The boot seemed fine, but the uppers took a real hammering on the Munros and just looked completely worn out after a few months. One thing about the Meindls generally, the insoles seemed "proper" compared to the Scarpas we bought as the first pair of children's walking boots, which seemed to just have a layer of material. Anyway, as these Jersey Juniors were pretty worn out after a few months, we decided that children's boots just didn't have comparable quality levels to that of adult's. We replaced these with small size good quality adult's boots and would recommend that you move your children into these asap if you can get them at a good price in the sales.
