Winter Boots for Kids to Keep Them Warm and Happy

Shopping for kids' boots doesn't have to be a struggle. Make boot shopping easy on everyone by choosing fall and winter kids' boots from Lands' End. There are boots in the selection that are both on-trend and weatherproof, so kids and parents can both be happy. Here is how you can find the best winter boots for kids while keeping the kiddos warm and happy.

Buying Kids' Boots for Fall

If you're looking for footwear that goes well with the latest fall fashions, consider a pair of boys' or girls' boots in an ankle bootie style. This type of boot can be worn with jeans and work with a variety of denim styles from skinny to boot cut. Another style of fall boot that goes well with jeans is the over-the-knee boot in a versatile color such as brown or black.

For rainy fall days, you can't go wrong with a pair of rain boots, which are designed to keep kids' feet warm and dry. With a traditional rain boot, your child can splash in puddles without getting a drop of water on their feet. These boots come in an array of colors, so kids can find a hue they like.

Riding boots are another footwear option for fall that parents and kids can agree on. They pair well with skirts, dresses, jeans, and leggings and are durable enough for everyday wear. A pair of girls' riding boots in brown or black is always a classic choice, but you might also want to consider an unexpected color like navy blue.

Winter Kids' Boots

When shopping for kids' winter boots, it's important to choose something weatherproof so that kids' feet stay protected from the elements. Lands' End has kids' snow boots that look stylish and safeguard against moisture and cold. These boots are great for playing in the snow because they offer ample coverage and insulation.

Slip-on boots are a great option for winter because they're easy for kids to put on and remove. Even toddlers can usually put slip-on snow boots on and take them off with little or no help. Kids' snow boots coordinate well with winter apparel, such as kids' winter coats or a kids' puffer vest.

Older kids can handle kids' snow boots with zippers, buckles, and straps. Tweens and teens may prefer a sleeker snow boot over a slip-on style. Lands' End has snow boots with trendy features such as fur trim, and they come in a wide variety of fashion-forward colors to go with the latest winter trends.

Features to Look for When Buying Snow Boots

There are some features to look for when shopping for waterproof winter boots for kids. You'll definitely want insulation to keep icy temperatures from reaching your child's feet. Thermolite® is a material that's often used to insulate snow boots thanks to its ability to safeguard against the cold without causing overheating. A sherpa lining is another feature you may want when buying kids' snow boots, as it adds an additional layer of warmth while imparting a stylish touch. A waterproof exterior is another feature that's important for a children's snow boot.

Your child may be more concerned with the appearance of the boots instead of whether they're weatherproof. The good news is that girls' and boys' boots come in lots of colors, ranging from neutrals like white and black to vibrant jewel tones and primary colors. By offering your child a choice of several colors, it's likely they'll be on board with the pair of snow boots you've chosen.

Sizing Tips for Buying Kids' Boots

To ensure children stay comfortable when wearing winter snow boots, it's important to choose the right size. Your child's shoe size may not be the same as their snow boot size; most of the time, you'll want to go up a half-size or even a whole size. One reason for this is to leave enough room for thick winter socks. Another reason to go up a size when shopping for kids' boots is because of how fast kids' feet tend to grow. By leaving a bit of room in the boot, your child can wear them longer.

Accessories for Kids' Winter Boots

There are lots of winter accessories that go well with kids' winter boots. Choose a kids' scarf to add more warmth around your child's neck and accent their winter coat. A pair of kids' gloves protect their hands from the cold and adds a stylish element to any winter outfit. You can often find winter accessories in the same color as kids' snow boots, making it easy to create a coordinated look.
