Boreal Ninja Jr Vent Kids' Climbing Shoes - Dual-Size Fit

Boreal Ninja Jr Vent kids' climbing shoes grow with your child. Each pair covers two consecutive EU sizes, so a young climber gets a secure fit today and room to grow into the second size, without you buying new shoes every few months.

The Ninja Jr Vent is based on Boreal's popular adult shoes but shaped for children: a soft, breathable knitted synthetic upper that keeps small feet cooler on busy sessions, a padded CHS heel that adjusts to hold the fit as feet grow, and a wide, easy-access velcro design that makes putting them on simple. Underfoot, Boreal's Zenith Quattro rubber grips well on indoor walls and on natural rock, so the shoes are as happy at climbing lessons as they are on a first outdoor route.

Sizing is straightforward: choose the pair that includes your child's usual EU shoe size. A child in an EU 31 would normally take the 31-32. We recommend a comfortable, close fit rather than aggressive downsizing – kids should be able to wear them without pain, curled toes or pressure points.
