Customer Review: The best boots for snow kids
Not only is this boot cute for girls, but it is an outstanding boot for snow. My kids spend hours in the snow. Sorel boots are the only way to go. They keep my kids warm and dry even in very cold or very wet conditions. Note however that no boot works perfect unless the snow pants have good gators. Gators are the nylon liners at the bottom of the pant leg. Good gators have a strong elastic that holds tight to the boot to prevent snow from falling into the top of the boot. My daughters last pair of Sorels was handed down to her sister. Still in great shape after 2 winters of use.
Customer Review: Warm boots
These boots provided the warmth and comfort I needed for my little ones during snowy weather conditions. The upper material is made of leather and rubber shell and it is easy to clean and it looks very durable. The innerboot liner is also washable. It is a little heavier and looks wider though than some boots but it did not bother my kids. It is true to size for my kids but because of the thick removable inner liner, it felt smaller the first time they tried it on. After a few days of wearing it, the sizing was in fact true to size.
Buying snow boots for children or for boys, girls or even for little kids? Good thing about snow boots is they don't differ much and have almost the common features as women's snow boots and men's snow boots. But you need to make a difference between winter boots and snow boots as they are worn in wet conditions too, unlike the former.
Winter boots specifically cater to long time snow wearing in little wet or muddy condition and rarely offer features commonly found in snow boots. Consider the following points when buying snow boots.
1. Height of snow boots must be sufficient to prevent snow entry. Ideally they extend beyond ankles but usually above the pants' hemline. Generally they are 7.9" tall for both women and men.
2. The uppers need to have leathers or synthetic leathers with seams taped or sealed for wetness protection. Fleeced cuffs with or without drawcords prevent snow entry to protect from cold and frost bite. Alternately, North Face Boots and Salomon Boots have tested successfully with soft acrylic wools in place of wools. Sorel Boots offers vulcanized rubber toe and side covers.
3. Look for soles; 100% waterproofing needs to be the only invariable option. Consider ease of cleaning also, most of them can be just hosed off.
4. Check for the removable thermofelt inner boots which you may need for long treks.
5. Wear the snow boots before making the decision. Sizes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and from women's snow boots to men's snow boots. You need to be carefully even while changing your old brand; for example, Merrell Boots' size may differ from others'.
Occasionally, uppers with full grain leathers are PU coated for water proofing. Don't forget to check for breathability by trying it before you buy. Best time to buy snow boots is early spring when the cold is still setting.
