They are just above the ankle and indestructible </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920505 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 17:08:04 +0000 Anagram 2920505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: do you have a Lidl nearby? This is random, but we went to a new Lidle near us today and they had kids’ snow boots that are SO lightweight for only $14.99. Lighter than the bogs my DD has. These are the boys’ version, but they had a girls bin with pink and aqua and blue. </p> [attach=2976/20/qjcg5h.450x600.09401282-5367-4ADA-9C4C-AF634DD7C4BB.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920495 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 12:51:44 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2920495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: I'll check those out! I got a pair of their sneakers and couldn't get past how unstructured they were so I returned them but the high tops might work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920494 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 12:51:00 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2920494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: Love these ideas, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920493 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 12:50:01 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2920493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Thanks for the suggestions! My kiddo lives in Stride Rite Phibians in the summer so that's good to know that they have winter stuff too, and I love Merrell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920492 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 12:45:45 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2920492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: These look awesome, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920479 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 10:25:52 +0000 Anagram 2920479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: for kids, look at the stride rite Made2play like or Merrill waterproof sneaker boots. Or bogs (we have some for DD1, but I still don’t think they are **ahhhmaaaazing** like I was led to believe. They are maybe 1 step above the clunkiest snow boots). </p> <p>For adults, I have the sperry duck boots in all gray (got deeply discounted), and I wear them with inserts from my podiatrist, and those are great for both rain and snow (snow in mid-Atlantic areas—the toe isn’t insulated so they aren’t especially warm, just waterproof). On a super cold day, I would double up on thick, wool socks or something, but I usually just wear them for school pickup and drop off and don’t need anything for that (we walk every day but it’s only a few blocks each way). They also make sherry boots for kids, so that might be an option! </p> <p>Mine look kinda like this: </p> [attach=2976/20/qjbxj4.337x600.CDF1040F-FFB4-452B-8204-C0888ECDF4D1.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920477 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 09:17:00 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2920477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently got the wool/water resistant Allbirds high tops and really like them! Not quite boots but close, and light/walkable. I also have wide ankles/calves and can't do most tall boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920476 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 08:03:41 +0000 Lahela017 2920476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love these fleece lined pants for getting outside when it's cold. They also break the wind really well. So warm, and also so comfy!! I also use cuddl duds a lot under existing pants. Sorry, no boot recommendations, since all ours are more for snow. (Though I would still look into Bean Boots. They make several levels of warmth, so you could pick which works best for you.)</p> <p><a href="https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/23151059/womens-polar-fleece-lined-pants?sp=1&#038;rrec=true" rel="nofollow">https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/23151059/womens-polar-fleece-lined-pants?sp=1&#038;rrec=true</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920474 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 06:09:27 +0000 Pumuckl 2920474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: I believe we have similar weather here in Germany and my kids have these boots this year and I was super surprised with how light they are. The kids love them too:<br /> Salomon Kids' Xa Pro 3D Winter Ts CSWP J Snow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-boot-questions-and-other-gear#post-2920425 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 07:36:19 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2920425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in VA, so we don't typically get very cold here so wanted to ask separately from the snow boot posts. Wondering if folks have recommendations for good boots (for me and my 7 year old girl) that would work well for walking and kid-friendly hiking. Something warm, good traction but not too heavy like typical snow boots. For me the caveat also is that I have obnoxiously wide ankles and calves so I need something that laces (though I welcome suggestions for ankle-high slip-ons that I can get in and out of for quick outings). </p> <p>Also would love recommendations for warm-weather pants for kiddo and me. This will be our first winter being outside as much as possible so this is a new terrain for us. Prefer cotton-based items, which seem hard to find, Unfortunately all the compression-type material I keep seeing doesn't work well with our allergy-prone skin. </p>
