Rock Boots

This is a list of links showing where you can currently find kids rock boots. Note that these are not recommendations and the list of suppliers is not in order of preference, just as I found them. Last updated 29/05/09 .

Cool tip! If you don't want to fork out too much for rock boots, how about investing in a cheap pair of school gym shoes for now (the kind with the rubber soles)? Thanks to Jenny from The Foundry/CragX for that one!

Shoe sizing chart NOTE: Kids feet are delicate and growing - don't choose tight-fitting shoes! To accomodate growth and make for a looser fit, size them with socks on and do get them to actually wear them so the child can tell you if they hurt anywhere.

I'm reliably informed that the man with the van at Fontainbleu sells resoled kids shoes for about €20. He has velcro, slippers and lace-ups. Thanks to Pinky on UK Climbing for that one!

This site was first built to help parents to locate difficult to source information about UK-based suppliers of children's climbing gear, so it is a useful resource that will increase traffic to your web site. This site does not generate any revenue and I am not being paid to provide this resource. If you are one of the linked suppliers and do not wish to be included, please contact me and I will remove you from the listings. The images were taken from various supplier web sites.
