prairiewindmomma Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Any idea on where I can find latex free rain boots that can handle long walks/daily use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Some Bogs boots are latex free. I'd email to ask them for the current list of latex free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 The Bogs website says that they all contain latex. I'll reach out to them; I would love to be able to buy Bogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) I heard from Bogs customer service. All Bogs contain latex (but are PVC free, if anyone is curious). Kamiks also have latex. Hunter boots are made of natural rubber (latex). Any other ideas? Edited November 6, 2017 by kbeal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 bummer about the bogs :( Maybe try Crocs? Regular crocs are not latex and i know they make rain boots but don't know if they're from regular crocs material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I don't know these might fit what you want but lands end makes a snow sneaker/boot that was waterproof and good for long walks and hikes. They might be latex free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Sorel customer service says---all contain latex at some point in the boot (sole, mid-sole, etc.). I'm still waiting for official confirmation on Kamik. The Kamik Jennifer M and Yukon 5 boots are made with a PVC synthetic rubber called RubberHE, but I don't know if there's any latex elsewhere in the boot. I'll post when I get a final reply. Crocs appears to have some options with their closed cell resin technology. I'm making contacts with LandsEnd also. Any other company I should check into?

trulycrabby Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Gempler's has a variety of chore/muck boots made from PVC. Most that I saw were men's sizing; their website states men's to women's sizing conversion is two full sizes down. https://m.gemplers.com/footwear Here's another PVC boot; there are several pvc styles on this website: http://www.galeton.com/repel-footwear-trade-economy-15-quot-pvc-boot-with-plain-toe/11578-product/?utm_campaign=**Shopping:%20Clothing%20-%20JF&set=FreeShip50&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=Boots%20(cpa%20$65)&utm_source=bing&code=M17FSJ&utm_term=1100309276049&page=http://www.galeton.com/repel-footwear-trade-economy-15-quot-pvc-boot-with-plain-toe/11578-product/ Edited November 7, 2017 by trulycrabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) UGGS has PVC rain boots: https://www.ugg.com/s/UGG-US/women-boots/shaye/888855635819.html?source=shoppingsite_PLA:Datapop%20-%20PLA(BSC):&kpid=:::msn:&gclid=CKD3o9LnrNcCFQbADQodWgkGKw&gclsrc=ds I've also read from several sources that the Kamik rubberHe is latex free synthetic rubber; it is good you are confirming with the company to be sure.

Arcadia Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Sorel customer service says---all contain latex at some point in the boot (sole, mid-sole, etc.). Crocs appears to have some options with their closed cell resin technology. Crocs rain boots has rubber on the sole for traction. So not direct contact when wearing. We are sensitive but not allergic to latex. My kids wore Sorel rain boots with the liners for snow play and puddle jumping. The liners are thin but prevent contact with the boots. I have Pajar boots as well. The sole is rubber for traction. It has faux shearling trim and lining so I am okay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I am only sensitive (blistering rash with contact), but ds is full on anaphylactic....even with strongly offgassing stuff. We keep our house fully latex free for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrichor Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 What about a waterproof hiking boot? I'm honestly not sure about the latex content of such a boot, and not sure how to figure that out for you. https://www.rei.com/search.html?q=waterproof+hiking+boots&r=features%3AWaterproof&origin=web&ir=q%3Awaterproof+hiking+boots&page=1 or https://www.keenfootwear.com/hiking/?gclid=CjwKCAiA0IXQBRA2EiwAMODil1QUTrNKymo7wczbU-sUhWj_uD540Kp-5o_MbFgSvst5L-tZ1eC1DRoCyxsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&start=0&sz=36#tile-10 Oh! I found this! http://latexallergyresources.org/consumer-products Shoes/Rubber Boots Crocs (877-238-4404) Latex-free clogs, boots, and flip-flops P.W.

almondbutterandjelly Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Boatilus? BOATILUS DUCKY rain boots , they also have a specific shape for the foot of the baby or child with raised massaging nodules on the anatomical insole.

prairiewindmomma Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Lands End boots all have latex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Here's Kamik's official reply: Thank you for contacting us. Our winter boots do not contain latex and our domestically made rainboots also do not contain latex. It is only our rainboots that are made in China with vulcanized rubber (such as our Shellylo and Sharonlo women's rainboots) that may contain latex. We thank you for your interest in Kamik.Regards,Customer ServiceDonna Jankusinfo@genfoot.com------------------ So, it looks like dh and I can get some Kamiks!!! I think I'm going for Crocs for my kids who are still rapidly changing shoe size. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
