They were like $15 and he could get them on and off himself. We live in the mid-Atlantic so while it snows here it's not like several feet and it's usually not colder than 30 degrees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857362 Sun, 18 Nov 2018 15:51:58 +0000 hellobeeboston 2857362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son loves his Bogs.... you can often find them second-hand in excellent condition since kids grow out of them so fast! Do you have a kids consignment shop near you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857231 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 22:28:43 +0000 Raspberry 2857231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So if you live in a very cold climate they might not be warm enough but DS and I both really like Croc winter boots. They are the lightest I’ve found. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857230 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 22:23:21 +0000 lady baltimore 2857230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our second-hand shops are always loaded with winter boots. I don't get to be too picky about brand, but there are usually lots of options for LO to try on, and I feel much better about the limited wear when I only pay $10. (I got Lands End boots this year.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857211 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 20:15:10 +0000 PawPrints 2857211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves her Pinky Footwear snow boots, wears them almost every day. I got them on Zulily in Navy for $12. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857206 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 18:54:01 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2857206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the responses!</p> <p>All the suggestions for bogs are making me reconsider them. I had a tried a pair for myself and thought they were on the heavy side but maybe the kids’ version is better?</p> <p>@looch: those look great actually! I’m going to keep an eye out for a sale hopefully next week. </p> <p>@Mamaof2: those look like a good option as well! They might fall under the too rigid category but for that price point I think I will give them a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857188 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 15:52:10 +0000 tysonja 2857188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are loving our Kamik ones - not sure if they are only sold in Canada? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857187 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 15:38:48 +0000 Mamaof2 2857187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: Since we have to buy new ones every year I hate spending a lot of money - we buy Totes brand from BJs - only $25 and the kids love them</p> <p>like these: <a href="https://www.dsw.com/en/us/product/totes-connor-toddler-and-youth-snow-boot/431582?cm_mmc=CSE-_-GPS-_-G_Shopping_Boots%20%26%20Booties-_-New_Boots%20%26%20Booties&#038;cadevice=c&#038;gclid=CjwKCAiA8rnfBRB3EiwAhrhBGsXB3xf0DYqLCmDpnXaWItM6CZna0UomoObYDghyU85yeSZVq6LwgBoCm7oQAvD_BwE" rel="nofollow">https://www.dsw.com/en/us/product/totes-connor-toddler-and-youth-snow-boot/431582?cm_mmc=CSE-_-GPS-_-G_Shopping_Boots%20%26%20Booties-_-New_Boots%20%26%20Booties&#038;cadevice=c&#038;gclid=CjwKCAiA8rnfBRB3EiwAhrhBGsXB3xf0DYqLCmDpnXaWItM6CZna0UomoObYDghyU85yeSZVq6LwgBoCm7oQAvD_BwE</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857176 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:56:12 +0000 pachamama 2857176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son goes to an outdoor preschool and in general spends a lot of time outside in the frigid, wet winter here in NY. So we have the LLBean boots that come with 2 liners, OakiWear (rain and cold but maybe not great for heavy snow like we get here), Bogs were great, but honestly his boots from Target we have had for 2 years and they are AWESOME also. (His Oakis are his favorite because they are easy to get on. The preschool recommended them) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857174 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:52:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2857174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: my older daughter had Hatley boots that I randomly got a good deal on on amazon that she loved. Wore them to school every day, snow or shine, and would wear them the whole day even though i brought sneakers too. I don’t know if it was the pattern or they were reallythat comfortable but I’m sad that I can’t jam her feet into them anymore. She wore them for two winters though and never complained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857172 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:49:24 +0000 shabang 2857172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: If we're playing in the snow, snowpants are on top of the boots, so we've never had snow come in. Their hands and faces get cold before feet, and I've never heard a complaint. And, they're comfortable enough that my 5yo will wear them all day. These are the first boots I've bought where there's no battle about wearing them and they're easy on/off. </p> <p>That said, the cost, eek. If you can find them used, that's probably the way to go, but they're snapped up like crazy on local buy/sell/trade sites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857171 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:47:38 +0000 catgirl 2857171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Bogs are super warm! Rated to -30F. DD and I both wear the classic bog boots and both love them. </p> <p>We try to buy DD's bogs at Nordstrom Rack or 6pm.com </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857169 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:42:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2857169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I can't speak to "for a while" b/c DD1 has never played in the snow for more than like 10 minutes :silly: I mean if she wears them with regular pants she will get snow in; but if she wears with snow pants/bibs then I think the "seal" is pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857166 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:39:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2857166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shabang: @snowjewelz: so the insulated bogs are warm enough to play in the snow for a while? And snow doesn’t come in through the top? I’ve seen them and read rave reviews but they just don’t look warm and dry enough for a couple of hours in the snow. I’m in New England and my kid just played in the snow this morning wearing rain boots because the old snow boots are way too small. Oops. </p> [attach=2307/18/piaxbu.338x600.CB6BC0B9-9D56-43E5-8443-74422432741C.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857165 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:37:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2857165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always try to buy Bogs off season; they're perfect in my book.</p> <p>Nordstrom right now has a sale on them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857164 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:35:00 +0000 shabang 2857164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe there'll be some good Black Friday deals on Bogs? Because they really are great and have the longevity to go through multiple kids, despite the price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857162 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:25:53 +0000 looch 2857162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get Merrell Snowbank boots for my 8 year old son. </p> <p>They tick all the boxes for me. The flexible sole is super. We are on our third pair (grew out of the other sizes, I typically get 2 years out of boots). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-boots#post-2857154 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 13:57:25 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2857154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to buy winter boots for 3 kiddos (2,5,7). In all my years shopping, boots are the one item I still do not have a go-to brand for. They always complain about something- too clunky, too heavy, too tight, too-everything you can think of. Must be good for snow, comfortable, and not super expensive. Suggestions??? TIA! </p>
