You can even go to the poles with these boots! It has a removable felt-like lining inside, I'll try and see in the winter but with that it sure looks like the feet will stay warm and dry. Because of this lining, the fit is getting a little smaller, taking into account the thick socks, it would be good to order one size bigger, I did the same and I didn't regret it. As an adult I bought the big kid size 37/38 for myself so the weight is not a big deal but younger kids may find the boot heavy.
Great quality. My kids say they are comfy and warm! will definitely purchase again!
My son says these fit perfectly!
The boots are comfortable but hard to put on
These boots run tight in the ankle so make sure to size up. Other than that great boot.
Always on the lookout for quality boots for low price for kids since we may get a season out of one pair. Daughter loved these. Warm, dry and stylish for an 11-yr. Wisconsin based so she gets plenty of use.
I bought these size 5 boots for my 11yo son. They are uncomfortably small on him. They're labelled Youth 5, size 37, which should be the same as a US Women's size 7. I wear this size in just about every brand of show, including Columbia's women's Ice Maiden boots: these kids boots are tiny. With just a typical sport sock on, I could just barely jam my foot into them. To wear with ski socks, I'd recommend sizing up 2 sizes at least.While I like the removeable insulation to help them dry quickly, the boot is also very heavy on the foot, so I'm not going to reorder them.
Very good product and very reliable and responsible seller.
