Having fun while stomping through the snow is a terrific way for children to stay active in the fresh cold air. But dressing properly is the key to a whine-free experience, so make sure you pick up a sturdy pair of warm boots to keep kids’ little feet cozy and dry this winter season. Look for sealed seams, thick lining and rugged soles for footwear that will last all season and could even be handed down to younger siblings. Here are our picks for the best waterproof winter boots for kids.

For cold-weather climates, grab these DREAM PAIRS KSNOW Insulated Waterproof Snow Boots, which have a toasty Thermolite insulation rating for temperatures that drop to -25 Fahrenheit. The side zipper and one-pull adjustable bungee lacing system make it simple to get ready in the morning and the boots are high enough so that snow won’t get inside. The waterproof rubber soles mean your child won’t barge inside after five minutes in the snow complaining that their feet are cold and wet. Available in toddler to big kid sizes and in nearly two dozen colors, these affordable waterproof winter boots for kids are functional and stylish.
2. SOREL Children’s Yoot Pac Nylon Snow Boot

A non-slip rubber outsole gives these boots a solid grip for all-day play.
4. Merrell Kids’ Snow Crush 2.0 Boot
Parents love the quality of a Merrell Kids’ Snow Crush 2.0 boot because a child with warm feet is a happy child. A waterproof upper and up to 400g of lightweight insulation keeps feet dry and warm in temperatures that dip to a chilly -25 Fahrenheit. The adjustable toggle closure makes for easy on and off plus a snug fit, so boots won’t come off when stepping in deep snow. These flexible, medium-weight boots offer superior traction thanks to a non-slip rubber sole.
5. ArcticShield Kids Waterproof Winter Snow Boots
Lightweight, cute, and toasty warm, ArcticShield Kids Waterproof Winter Snow Boots are available in pink with black or royal blue with black. A waterproof shell can withstand whatever slushy fun your child gets into during wet, snowy, or muddy conditions.
