Building dams, collecting conkers on the way to school or hiking through wintry woods–and one pair of boots does it all. The Boys Akka Texapore High Boot from Jack Wolfskin does everything a proper boys' hiking boot should do. It is waterproof, supports the ankle & provides excellent grip on various types of terrain. The sole is designed to handle a wide range of activities–ideal for little outdoor fans who come up with a new plan every day! It delivers the perfect combination of good flexibility & comfortable cushioning. & the special tread pattern ensures secure footing over any terrain. Given how versatile this boot is, It is remarkably light. This partially due to the synthetic materials, which also make the boot hard wearing & easy to clean. It also features a child-friendly Velcro closure system. The inspiration for it came from Mio Steingässer. Together with his family, Mio is following the effects of climate change. The name Akka comes from the highest mountain range in Sweden's Sami region. This is where Mio Steingässer learned about how the Sami people live.
