You may not be surprised to hear that grocery store winter boots didn't hold up terribly well through a hard winter. This year I planned better. That being said, I also bought an electric boot warmer - they're like shoe-form shaped things that go into your boots and dry them - and they were great.</p> <p>For myself, I have a pair of Sorels for when it's seriously winter and I'm going to be outside for a bit, but I also have Manitobah Mukluks, which are much sleeker and much cuter but not as warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919807 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 07:32:10 +0000 Lahela017 2919807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Sorels for when I'm actually going to be out in the snow. They can't be beat for snow protection and warmth in my opinion. I also have a pair of LL Bean boots. They work well for running errands or commuting, but aren't warm enough for me for outdoor activities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919801 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 00:26:36 +0000 meadow 2919801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lemonjack: I had LLBean boots growing up....they were awsome....so much so - that at 35 years old, I still wear the ones bought as a teenager (when my feet stopped growing)!!!!</p> <p>The removable insert is great - very cozy, but easy to take out and put next to the heater to dry :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919797 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 21:14:44 +0000 catgirl 2919797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonJack: No, sorry. I've always had the classic tall. I prefer something I can just slip on and off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919796 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 21:10:44 +0000 LemonJack 2919796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: Any experience with these?</p> <p><a href="https://www.zappos.com/p/bogs-arcata-knit-gray-multi/product/9265994/color/72423" rel="nofollow">https://www.zappos.com/p/bogs-arcata-knit-gray-multi/product/9265994/color/72423</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919794 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:59:35 +0000 LemonJack 2919794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: I know people swear by Bogs, but I’ve often wondered if snow got into them easily, which is why I’ve hesitated. My oldest comes in literally covered in snow, so I like that the Bean ones cinch at the top.</p> <p>Good to know on the Sorels. The style I have is the Joan of Arctic, so I’ll check out the ones you mentioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919792 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:52:22 +0000 PurplePumps 2919792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Bogs for kids too, but I found that the back is a little low and snow can get in pretty easily. Curious for other suggestions too!<br /> I LOVE my Sorels!! Have you tried different styles? I found that some styles, like their Joan of Artic are really wide and heavy, but their Tofino boot (this is the one I have) is much slimmer and comfortable to walk around in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919791 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:44:52 +0000 winter_wonder 2919791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonJack: I swear by BOGS for kids. They are $$, but you can find them on eBay or at consignment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919789 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:40:16 +0000 catgirl 2919789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH, DD, and I all wear bog boots. We love them! They keep our feet warm but don't feel too heavy when walking around. We have purchased bogs for DD since she was two. I have the tall ones but am thinking about getting a short pair for errands and quick trips when there isn't much snow. </p> <p>That said I know a lot of kids with those bean boots and they are overall happy with them! I think some feel they are a little clunky but some kids don't seem to mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-and-adult-winter-boots#post-2919786 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:33:33 +0000 LemonJack 2919786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thread about winter jackets has me thinking about kids gear. I’m looking at snow boots for our oldest (6), and am leaning toward the LLBean ones with two removable inserts. Our daughter loves to play in the snow and always managed to get her books soaked last winter, which is why I’m thinking boots with removable liners would be great. Anybody have experience with these or suggestions for other ones? She’s the oldest and if the boots last they’ll be passed down to her sister, so I’m okay spending a little more.</p> <p>And while we’re at it, what about your own favorites? I have a pair of Sorels that are cute and warm, but they’re super clunky and uncomfortable. Before that I had a pair of Northface ones that were great for quick errands outside, but didn’t keep my feet warm if I was outside any length of time. </p>
