Buying Guide

Waterproof shell

Prioritize boots with a waterproof upper or treated fabric to keep feet dry during slush and snow

Slip-resistant sole

Look for rubber, non-slip or slip-resistant soles to improve traction on icy sidewalks and playgrounds

Secure closures

Choose hook-and-loop straps or adjustable fastenings for an easy, secure fit that kids can manage themselves

Insulation level

Match insulation to local winters—moderate insulation is fine for daily wear in milder climates; thicker linings are better for extended outdoor exposure

Sizing and fit

Allow room for socks and growth—measure foot length and check manufacturer sizing rather than assuming previous size fits
