What are the best kids' hiking boots to buy first?

Buy the [Merrell Moab](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Merrell+Moab&tag=wehavethat-20) Speed Low Waterproof for kids first. They’re light enough that kids won’t complain, actually waterproof through puddles and wet grass, and have good grip on real trails to prevent slips. My kid wore them on day hikes, camping trips, and muddy park outings without complaints.
