What To Look For When Choosing Winter Boots For Kids

Winter is coming soon, and there will be kids that will walking to school or standing outside waiting for the bus. Of course, they will be playing outside as well.  Although kids love to be fashionable, they also need the proper winter boots.  

Here are some considerations when choosing winter boots for your kids. 

Fashionable

 If you kids are into fashion, and the boots are not fashionable, you will meet their resistance in wearing them. 

Height

The taller the boots, around 12 inches, the warmer those toes will be. However 11 or 12 inch, in height, boots will also be heavier. 

A 7 or 8 inch high hiking boot is perfect for wet weather, light snow and short walks.


Traction

Rubber soles that are slip resistant are the best. However, for additional protection there are winter traction devices for winter months, especially on ice for added protection. There are various types, and most have metal spikes which could cause injury if mishandled, so you may want to be cautious if you are putting them on your kid’s boots.

Water Resistance

If boots are not properly water resistant, they are going be wet and cold inside and outside, causing cold, cold, feet. 

Types of Water Resistance

Leather uppers: Most winter boots are made with a leather upper that has either been pre-treated to repel water, or that is easy to treat once you bring them home.

Rubber shells: Used in combination with a leather upper, a rubber shell protects the lower portion of the boot. Boots with rubber shells will keep you dry even if you remain standing in a puddle.

Waterproof/breathable linings: A waterproof/breathable lining such as Gore-Tex keeps your feet dry while allowing sweat vapor to escape.


Boots for wet winter climates

Insulation

They will need enough insulation for added warmth.  There are various types of insulation. Some manufactures will provide temperature ratings.

Types of Insulation: 

Thinsulate: Provides plenty of warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating materials.

Primaloft: Microfiber polyester material typically cased in a protective nylon layer, the tiny short-strand fibers make the material highly compressible and surprisingly water resistant. The  comfort of Primaloft comes at the cost of durability. The microfibers make the insulation prone to bunching. The material has an excellent warmth to weight ratio, meaning a relatively small amount of the insulation can keep you warm. 

Heatseaker:  Heatseeker is a long fiber insulation very similar to Thinsulate.  

Zylex: typically comes in the form of a removable liner.

The insulation has the ability to wick moisture and trap warm air making it the perfect option for enjoying the icy bounty of a freshly fallen snow.

They additionally feature an advanced thermal foil that helps further deflect cold temperatures. 

Wool felt: Manages moisture well and keeps temperatures reasonable by creating a seal around your foot. The thick materials maintainits shape fairly well. 


Opti-Warm: A synthetic insulation from Merrell, Opti-Warm sheds much of the bulkiness its insulated counterparts boast, but does so without sacrificing warmth. Merrell's well-balanced insulation traps body heat and provides impressive loft retention.



Gusseted tongue:  One of the biggest issues with snow and rain is the snow and water seeping through the lacings, which creates wet feet that end up being cold feet.  Similar to typical shoe tongues, but with one major difference: a gusseted tongue is attached to the boot via two triangle pieces on either side. The extra pieces of material keep snow and wetness out where other boots would extend a warm welcome.

Cuff
:  Similar to a snug collar, a cuff forms a thick ring around the top of a boot, working to catch and dispel the moist snow that might otherwise greet your dry feet.

Hiking Boots

Are you looking to hike moderate to long distances (3+ miles) in the winter? You will want insulated hiking boots. Lighter in weight than the larger snow boots that have removable linings, hiking boots offer a more precise fit, which is essential if you want to avoid blisters as you rack up the miles. Hiking boots also provide ample foot and ankle support to keep you comfortable on rough trails, even if you're hauling a decent-sized pack
