Questions & Answers
We live in northern Wisconsin, and these boots were a disaster in the snow. The bottoms accumulate snow and become extremely icy. If there was snow, my daughter would be unable to walk in them. It didn't seem to make a difference whether the snow was sticky or wet, fluffy or dry - We liked that they kept her feet dry and warm even in our cold temperatures, so we used them again and again.
If half sizes are not available, go up a size.
That appears to be the case. According to the conversion chart, size 7 appears to be a good choice; in our experience, they run true to size.
They aren't ski boots, to be sure. Burton makes a fantastic toddler snowboard boot that would be ideal for kids' plastic skis with soft boots.

She discovered a small puddle after it rained the day before. She made the decision to "splish splash. " "Are you sure there's nothing to be concerned about? Aren't they supposed to be waterproof? Fyi- She spent no more than ten seconds in the puddle. Her socks and feet were soaked, and her toes were wrinkled when we returned home. It was a chilly Chicago Fall day to top it off. I was furious at the time. They'd better deliver on their promises for $65. I intend to return. I'm not going to risk a similar setback during the winter months. br>I liked how simple they were to put on and take off for her. They're also extremely light. But I'm looking for a waterproof, snow, and slush-proof cold-weather boot, and this isn't it.
As long as the snow isn't wet or slushy, it's acceptable. These boots are neither waterproof nor resistant to water. I would have returned these if my son hadn't already worn them three times. I don't usually write reviews, but I'm sharing our experience in the hopes that no one else will be duped into thinking these boots are waterproof. Last month, we used these in the snow in temperatures around 20 degrees, and his feet were mostly dry — his toes were slightly damp, but I chalked that up to sweaty active feet. However, I discovered the truth about these boots yesterday while walking in the rain. My son was digging in the mud at the park (in rain pants pulled OVER the ankles of his boots, mind you), and it appeared that the water was being absorbed by the boot like a sponge. I had no idea this was going on while we were out, but when we returned home, his socks were completely soaked. It's a good thing it was a warmer winter day out because this could have turned into a dangerous situation for my son and his toes. If all you're doing is walking in the rain, or if you're not doing anything else, If your child likes to jump in puddles or play in the mud and be active, these boots are probably fine, but if your child likes to jump in puddles or play in the mud and be active, DO NOT PURCHASE THESE BOOTS.
I figured I'd throw in my two cents because there are so many conflicting reviews about waterproofness. These boots were purchased for our 16-month-old son. We live in Seattle, so a toddler needs to have comfortable waterproof boots. Add to that the fact that Kiddo's calves are thick, so a lot of the high-intensity exercises aren't suitable for him. Knee boots would have been impossible to get on him without a lot of effort and discomfort. br>br>I adore these boots, and more importantly, so does my son. He squealed and pointed at them the entire first day we tried them on, most likely because we had finally found a pair that he liked. He has no trouble walking, climbing, or running. br>br>When it comes to "waterproof," These seem to be made of neoprene. They can withstand water for a long time but are susceptible to getting wet. To be clear, I took him for a two-hour walk in the rain, mud, and puddles, and he returned with dry feet. I forced him to swim in Puget Sound - dry feet. The two scenarios they soaked through were 1) when we were caught in a torrential rainstorm for 15 minutes straight and were completely soaked by the end of it, and 2) when he wades in the Puget Sound and gets far enough out that the water comes in through the pull-cord. a pair of holes in the calf of the boot To reach that height, the water doesn't have to be very deep. I'm guessing that those holes account for a lot of the differences in whether "just a puddle" gets the boot wet. br>br>In any case, I think the occasional soaking is worth it for a boot that is otherwise fantastic. If I think it'll be a problem, I just make sure I have some extra socks on hand.
I bought a size 6 because I wanted her to be able to wear them for as long as possible for the price. My daughter can walk fine in them; she can't climb as easily as she can in others, but she has plenty of room to grow! They're lightweight and easily adjustable. Simply tighten the back strap as shown in the illustration. I'm so glad I chose Bogs because I know her feet will stay warm and dry during our upcoming Pacific Northwest seasons!.
I'm sorry to say it, but I've developed a bad bog. And for the price, it's a real slap in the face. It took me several months to figure out that the shoes were defective and not water resistant in any way. I initially assumed it was snow slipping into the top of the boot, then assumed it was due to my child's foot sweating, but I'm now certain it's a waterproofing issue. He put them on for 5 minutes and then took them off. We woke up to 5 inches of snow on the ground and wet insoles. He didn't wear them long enough to get sweaty, so no snow got in. I'm on my second or third pair of bogs, and I've never had this problem before, so I believe I received a faulty pair. It was too late to return them when I realized what had happened. In addition, I discovered a section of the shoe's interior lining that had completely disintegrated. I'm not sure what it was, but it looked like shoelace and was soaking wet after the boot had not been worn for 24 hours. I was extremely disappointed.
This is an excellent suggestion. The execution was appalling. The boots are warm and comfortable, and they are well-fitting. The toe bed isn't too narrow, and the sole is flexible. Although the price is a little high, my expectations were high! I'm thinking about tossing these after two months of use. Snow accumulates on the bottoms, making them impassable to my toddler (and dangerously slick). In addition, the back closure could be improved or moved higher up. It makes putting on the boots a breeze, but it also means that they are only waterproof halfway up the boots (roughly two inches), rendering them useless in heavy snow or puddles. In the end, I believe it was a complete waste of money.
We've bought Bogs for my now 4-year-old for the past four years. He enjoys being able to put them on himself and has done so since he was about 2 1/2 years old. br>He'll wear them from fall to spring, and they'll last a long time. I wash them every week or so, and they come out looking brand new. br>br>However, if you're looking for snow boots, these aren't the best; I've had to cover the handle with his snow suit to keep the snow out. But I don't count on them as snow boots any longer; he'd still wear them to school on snow days because they're more comfortable than snow boots (though he won't wear them outside to play in the snow). br>The price is high, but they're well worth it, and I'll keep buying them. To be honest, their quality is so good that my 4-month-old will be able to wear them for a long time and they will still look brand new.
