Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We purchased these snow boots for our boys as they have never really had a need for true snow boots before. I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg knowing they would grow out of them before next year. I was lucky in my timing that we ordered these and they arrived a day before we got 8" of snow! A few things to note: - They are faux fur lined which helps tremendously in their softness and warmth - The buckles are functional, but just for show. They do not actually tighten or loosen the boot. - The buckles are on a panel of velcro closure for easy on/off I ordered what I believed to be sizes larger than my boys wear to account for thick socks and to hopefully get an extra year's use out of them. I ordered 11.5 for my toddler who wears 10/10.5 in sneakers and I ordered 1.5 for my older son who wears a size 13.5 in sneakers. Both of them fit like a glove! We won't be able to wear these again next year, but they work great for now. I'd say size one full size up for current wear and size up 1.5/2 times for longevity. We love them. Played in 8" snow for hours and hours. They never once complained of cold feet and they stayed bone dry. Would highly recommend and will be ordering again in the future!
