cdrumm4448 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 My kids have regular winter boots from Kohls. They aren't cutting it. Who sells the best waterproof winter boots for kids? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Many kids around here are wearing BOG boots. They were designed as barn/farm/chore boots but are waterproof and warm. They have different temperature ratings depending on the model but they have cute styles for kids as well. www.bogsfootwear.com You can click on the temperature rating you want to find ones best suited to your needs. They hold up very well too. My dd wears her boots for hours a day about 300 days a year (she wears them almost year round here) and no cracks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 We like Kamik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Bogs or Bean. We have found both to be worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Baffins Bogs Sorel I've seen Baffins rated to -40F. All three of them have different styles, with different warmth ratings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 If you decide on the Bogs, check local farm/feed store for them as often they have the same ones as the "fancier" stores cheaper. Or look online for sales on them this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Baffin's or Bogs. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Kamik or Columbia. Columbia is pricier, but they last and last and last (if you want to pass them down). I have a pair that is over 15 years old and still going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Bogs get heavy duty use around here, but they are not for major hiking - my kids would get blisters if they wore them on a day-long hike. For outdoor chores and wearing around town, fine. Super comfy, easy to wash off, and great insulators - no cold feet. For longer hiking, I would get Sorels, but they are much heavier and harder to put on/take off because they lace up. Bogs are pull-on. Both brands last a long time. The Sorels I am wearing right now are about 20 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom'sGirl Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I didn't see Muck Boots mentioned. I don't own any (really wish I did), but I have friends who swear by them for their whole family. We live in NYS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weddell Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 We've had over 5 feet of snow this winter and with a warm streak this week, the sidewalks are all under several inches of water and there is still a TON of unmelted snow. DD wore her Kamik snow boots out this week. They were fine for snow but they leaked water when they got submerged while walking on the sidewalk. I just ordered her a pair of bogs. Reviews say they run small so I went up a size and I'm hoping she can wear them through spring as rain boots and maybe next year as well. I'll have to ask my mom to check the farm stores near her for some--that's a great tip. I know there is one she visits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Muck boots are very similar to the Bogs. I have Muck Boots designed for horse back riding that I wear all winter long and they keep my feet warm and DRY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Bogs. Definately Bogs. I wear mine until the soles are gone. The short person wears hers until we give them to the neighbor's granddaughter. They slog through the disgusting mucky, icy yuck down by the barn, get hosed off, and look cute for town. Mucks are okay, but they don't have the style options that the Bogs do. Definately Bogs. (Can you tell that I'm a fan?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Bogs, Sorel or Kamik are my 3 go to brands. Bogs for really wet areas without deep snow. Sorel or Kamik for primarily snow or cold. They are tighter on the top of the leg, so snow doesn't fall inside if you get into deep areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
