Description

Watch them fly over trails in the waterproof/breathable REI Co-op Flash kids' hiking boots. REI-exclusive technologies create fast-and-light boots—with a lighter footprint and comfy that won't quit.

Features

• Strong and socklike FirmaKnit™ uppers are made from 99% recycled PET polyester, and they're designed for lightweight yet durable comfort right out of the box
• HydroWall™ complete waterproof/breathable protection keeps their feet dry when the trail ahead isn't—and uses 75% recycled polyester to do so
• 20% recycled rubber TerraGrip™ tread provides anti-slip grip on all kinds of terrain with 4 mm forefoot climbing lugs for going up and 4 mm heel braking lugs for coming down
• TerraLoft™ midsoles use 10% algae-based BLOOM™ foam to cradle their feet with a cushioning system that feels like their favorite trail-running shoes (soft, but not too soft)
• TrailBed™ insoles use Insite® Contoura® technology created with podiatrists to ensure support and comfort; plus, it's made with 25% USDA-certified bio-based Susterra® compound
• 2-layer 30% recycled TPU overlays are designed to create durable and supportive uppers—the structure they need for long hours on the trail that's still light and minimalist
• Molded nylon midfoot shanks provide lightweight support to protect their feet from the trail and help propel them forward
• Recycled PET polyester webbing and lacing creates a midfoot cradle system that allows for a highly adjustable and locked-down fit
• Extra space in the toe boxes allows for natural changes in their feet (like swelling) during hours of trail exploration
• Informed by feedback from over 6,000 people and field tested by 100 co-op members over 2,000 hours and 700+ miles
