Crocs Kids’ Handle It Rain Boots

Buying boots for a little girl is a great chance to engage with her personality and enable her to have whatever kinds of adventures she wants. Children love expressing themselves through what they wear, and shoes for girls come in all kinds of patterns, materials and styles.

Of course, it’s also important for her to be able to play in safety and comfort. Always consider materials, including water-resistant or waterproof exteriors, soles with good grip and soft or lined interiors.

It’s also important to match the girl’s sense of style. A good route would be to match the boots to items you know she loves, such as a favorite backpack or outfit.

Finally, shoes must fit well to be comfortable and provide the advertised support and protection. Always measure a child’s feet right before buying shoes and research whether the shoes you’re considering run big, small or to fit.

• Good fit comes down to more than a length measurement. Touch or point to specific areas of the shoe and ask if the shoes pinch rub, or squeeze there or if they are loose in that area.
• Boots also have shaft sizes that indicate the height of the top of the boot. These are typically measured from the arch, and higher shaft sizes are recommended for particularly vigorous outdoor play.
• While some boots for girls incorporate higher heels, these can impede play and contribute to twisted ankles or falls. For playing outdoors, low, sturdy heels are recommended.
