Buying Guide

Until a child reaches the age of 10 (or thereabouts, depending on their growth spurts), they will probably need new shoes and boots for every season. After that, you may be able to get away with buying new ones every other year (if you are lucky).

Though you might be able to save money on other types of footwear, investing a little more in quality rain and snow boots is important. Compromising on that quality could result in cold, wet or uncomfortable feet if your little one plays outdoors for long periods of time.

Functionality is important for all-weather boots like these. First off, check to see if they are waterproof; no one wants leaky boots. Rubber soles with traction are also important, as it is easy to slip on wet, snowy and icy surfaces.

To keep ankles and feet warm, choose a thick lining like faux fur or Sherpa. You will also want to know how easy the boots are to get in and out of. If your toddler can do it on their own, they will have a sense of accomplishment. Even better, you will not have to help them, which makes the laborious process or getting ready to go out a bit simpler.

What to Look For

  • You will need to measure your toddler’s feet before ordering boots. Have him sit down, and use a ruler to measure both feet with his toes straight out. Order by the size of the larger foot.
  • Some brands have size charts online that you can print out to use at home. These will often include a printable ruler for your child to stand on for easy measuring.
  • Look for boots that are easy to clean and that have reflective patches for safety.
  • Boots with laces are not ideal for children under the age of four. Zippers, handles and other closures are more appropriate.
  • Cozy inner linings make boots much more comfortable. Padded and tall collars are best for trail boots and ankle boots, to prevent snow and water from getting in.
  • Always tuck in the bottom of your little one’s pant legs.

More to Explore

Though it can be messy, many experts encourage toddlers to jump and splash in puddles. It helps develop gross motor skills, and it teaches them the cause-and-effect properties of water.

You can also give them scoops, buckets and spoons to play with in the snow, which targets fine motor development.
