November 15, 2017 by Catherine 116 Comments

hi-tec wild-life lux womens walking boots

Are you getting outdoors and enjoying nature this season?  We've been having fun with a tree, leaf and seed hunt and putting our local park to good use; I've also been making the most of those crisp morning school runs to stomp through the leaves on the way home, such a good way to start the day! It's around this time of year that my walking boots become my go-to footwear for most of our family outings.  Rain, slippy leaves, mud and general ...

Review: Brantano Mountain Peak childrens walking boots

October 18, 2015 by Catherine Leave a Comment

brantano walking boots review

Autumn is a great time for getting outdoors with the kids; the weather isn't really cold yet, nature is changing before our eyes and there are so many things to collect - leaves, seeds and sticks to name a few.  While we're not into full-on welly weather yet, the ground is often damp and slippy and for kids a good pair of walking shoes is a great option for this time of year.  We've been testing out the kids Mountain Peak outbound walking boots ...
