whitestavern Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 DD13 needs winter boots, so we'll be buying her some for Christmas. Can I get a quick assessment of these: ETA I put 2 add'l selections further down in the thread. http://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Womens-Minx-Snow-Black/dp/B006A1G3MW/ref=sr_1_6?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1386942408&sr=1-6&keywords=waterproof+snow+boots Anyone want to ask their dd's opinions on these boots? Yay or nay? Thanks!! ETA: These are not for everyday/fashion wear...they are for playing in the snow!!! Although she might wear them to go skiing, a friend's house, to the store, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestavern Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 How about these? http://www.amazon.com/Sorel-Womens-Glacy-Saddle-Fossil/dp/B00AJL9TKC/ref=sr_1_44?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1386942866&sr=1-44&keywords=waterproof+snow+boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 No to the first (two votes), one yes/one no to the second (the yes was from dd13). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 And last one... http://www.amazon.com/KEEN-Womens-Burlington-Low-Black/dp/B006R8NKL0/ref=sr_1_67?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1386943080&sr=1-67&keywords=waterproof+snow+boots I really appreciate the help!!!

KarenNC Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My 13 yo would be most likely to wear option 2 (since she already has something similar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraha Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My 12 yo old said Yes to 1, 3 No to 2. If it helps, my 12 yo is a girly girl who loves clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My girls would wear any of the 3. Maybe #1 would be the favorite. Then again here we go for WARM, not high fashion. In fact their current winter boots are Bog boots---dual purpose for the barn as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My daughters are older, but they'd probably choose #3. They've had Keen boots (though a different style) and they keep their feet really warm and are cute. Plus, they're kind of in-between the more rugged pair and the more frilly-looking pair. My youngest (18) just got a new pair of boots before going to Sweden this fall and this is the style she got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006Y7FLN4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 DD14, style diva of family and friends, voted #1. (Of course she thinks you should get a color though!) Just thinking though, is your kid more "stand out" or more "blend in but still stylish"? Mine is definely more "stand out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomOfOneFunOne Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 AMDG I asked my 14 year old and she said: yes to the first one you posted Only to feed the chickens to the second Not as much as the first to the third Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikin' Mama Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My 16 yodd said no to all three. She has fake Uggs and said that is what most teenage girls wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 no to 1 & 2. probably to #3. my girls attended school for four years in upstate NY and wore these. steger mukluks traditional @ mukluks.com. (for some reason, I can't even paste a URL.) my son asked for a pair too. after four years they still are going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 My 16 yodd said no to all three. She has fake Uggs and said that is what most teenage girls wear. I should've have been clear that she needs snow boots for playing outside. She has "fashion-y" type boots for just wearing around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 DD15...no to all 3. She is in a private school high school so she makes more of her decisions based on current trends and what her peers are wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cera Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 This is the style all of the teens around here wear - http://www.amazon.com/Sorel-Womens-Arctic-NL1540-Black/dp/B001OTYXCM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1386950068&sr=8-2&keywords=sorel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Nope - she would not. She would wear something more like this http://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Sportswear-Ice-Maiden-Weather/dp/B004LP2REW/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_2 or this http://www.amazon.com/Kamik-NK2004-Womens-Brooklyn-Boot/dp/B0036FSZ4Y/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_3 but she really wants taller boots. My dd likes the hunger games books/movies - so I am supposed think of what Katniss would wear or what Veronica Mars would wear - those are her fashion inspirations.

Stacia Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My dd has a pair similar to the style jjhat7 posted. Dd's boots are actually a pair of men's North Face boots, black & charcoal grey color, & she loves them -- wears them almost every day (& we rarely have snow; she just doesn't like cold weather).

amo_mea_filiis. Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My dd (12) would love the first and third. The second would be too "boring" for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submarines Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My inner tween would wear #1 :lol: My inner tween would love any of them! :lol: Will she wear them with snow pants, or regular jeans, or tights? I think the OP should ask her own DD. There's nothing worse than receiving an article of clothing as a gift, while you are set on something quite similar, and in the same price range. I'd also let her try them on and choose by how they fit, especially as you are choosing a play, comfy boot for her. Unless she's very easy going and returns are easy, I don't think surprising with boots is a fun idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvasMom Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 My 15 yr old dd said 1 and 3 but only for playing in the snow. She doesn't like #2 at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Probably to all, but she doesn't like fur on her snow boots because it gets all icy and wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AimeeM Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Number 1 is nice and something I could see my pre-teen wearing (dd12). She's at school right now, so I can't ask her, but it looks like something she'd point out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 These might not go over well with your dd but around here, many of the girls are wearing Bog boots http://www.bogsfootwear.com/shop/styles/womensShoes/womensAgriculture/page0.html THey are WARM and waterproof and last forever. Then again we are rural and value warm and dry feet over high fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantmeawish Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I would say 2 maybe 1.

Jenny in Florida Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I asked my daughter, who warns that her taste is not typical, and she says the first ones you linked would be her first choice, followed by the third, and just no to the second.
