Children's Boots
You'll always have weather, whether or not! Make sure your little girl
or boy
is prepared for rain, snow or anything in between with this guide.
Inclement Weather
When it comes to boots and winter gear, your child has yet another opportunity to express his or her personality. Boots featuring graphic designs of popular television and movie characters are popular, like Disney princess boots
.Stripes
,polka dots
and solid colors like pink
and white
are strong options for young girls, while boys' choices generally run to black
or tan
, although these guidelines are by no means set in stone.
Snow
and rain boots
should be tall enough to deflect the elements from running inside. Mid-calf length
or knee-length
are good bets for boots that will effectively keep out the weather -- no kid (or adult, for that matter) likes walking around with cold, wet feet! Waterproofing
is a solid plan B if your child already has a pair of shoes that he or she wants to wear in inclement weather.
Traction is an important element to consider of any shoe to be worn in snow or rain. A strong rubber outsole at the bottom of your child's shoe will prevent slipping and sliding -- and unnecessary injury.
In terms of rain-specific gear, Wellingtons
, which are defined as a thick pair of rubber boots
, are a great option for children's winter footwear. Known also as rain boots
,wellies
, gummies, barn boots
, and the ever-colorful "muckhoots", Wellington boots
were named for 19th century England's first duke of Wellington, and today serve as a critical component of rain gear
for old and young. Colorful fashion rain boots have made a major comeback in recent years, and your child can hop on board with age-appropriate designs and sizes.
Playtime
Fool around with a pair of cowboy boots! Whether for Halloween
, hayrides, western-themed
carnivals, birthday parties -- or just because (the last a favorite reason of children under age seven), cowboy boots
are just a fun accessory to be silly in. To get your child into the cowboy (or girl) spirit, he or she will need a plaid shirt
, a pair of jeans
or denim skirt
, and a stylin' pair of boots
, like the kind you might see on a Nick at Nite
rerun of Bonanza
.
