The Regatta Wetland Junior’s suede and synthetic upper looks fresh and appealing, and this children’s boot gets a waterproof lining. There is some good stiffness around the toe and heel too for increased durability and protection. The outsole lugs are also reasonably aggressive for getting a grip. But the low-ankle cuff means you need to avoid deep puddles and terrain where grit might easily enter the shoe. As always, a leather or simpler upper would be more durable in the long term. Although the sole is reasonable there are better options for rockier terrain.
