User Reviews
Got these for my 3.5 year old. He normally wears North Face snow boots, but this year he’s wearing a size 10 snow boot and the toddler alpenglow boot we normally buy only goes up to size 9C; the Little Kids version is SO much more expensive. I decided we’d try these because they were on a great Black Friday deal, and they were taller in height. He loves them!! I love the velcro on the bottom to help tighten it up, and the gaiter-style top that cinches it tight around his calf. NOTHING is getting inside his boots or snow pants now!We just got about a foot of early snow in the PNW, and he got to test them out. His feet stayed warm and dry for a few hours sledding. He loves that these don’t have fuzzy fir inside (too “girly” he says). Instead, they have a thick wool liner. They have a bit of weight to them (more than the North Face ones) but they’re easy for him to walk and run in. He even wore them to preschool.The gray and bright orange color is so cool! Love the bright soles. Which, speaking of the soles, are SUPER durable and have great traction. For the first time all season, he didn’t slip and fall on his booty!Highly recommend them! They’re true to size and fit his wide feet well (regular width).Hope this helps. 😊
These are high quality bootsSuper warm and they keep little feet dryThe liners are removable for cleaning and dryingHighly recommend!
I get these for my son every winter here in Wisconsin. Easy on and off and very warm. High quality.
The fabric of the upper is itself waterproof but the seam where it joins the waterproof rubber bottom is not waterproof. I will be returning them for another model by the same brand that is "waterproof seam sealed". I should have read more carefully. It is a well thought out design and seems extremely durable. The removable liner is convenient for sizing to the child's foot and for drying out wet boots. It does not come out by accident when the kid just slips their foot in and out. The sinch on the upper collar makes it easy to put the pant leg over or under. We had a second problem where they're too narrow on my child. We do occasionally buy wides for her which will be the next pair we get from Kamik. They work with thin socks which is fine since they seem so warm on their own. But with the water problem and the fit problem it is just not worth the hassle. Overall it seems like a good product if your puddles are not deeper than 2". The "waterproof" upper will shed snow just fine, but not standing in super deep puddles. Try telling a 2 yo that!
My son absolutely loves these boots. A little bit heavy but incredibly warm
Great boots, exactly as described.
This will be my son's 3rd year in Kamik Rocket boots. As others have stated, they are not waterproof beyond the rubber bottom part but these boots are perfect for my 6 year old boy to play in. He wore his last pair for 2 years and they held up fantastically, the velcro did separate from the strap at one point toward the end of the second season but I used a little Tear Mender (also available on amazon) and it was fixed within 2 minutes.If it's exceptionally slushy and wet outside and I know my son will be soaking himself to his knees I just slip a plastic bag between the lining and the boot, you can't see it and it keeps his feet dry (Kamik should make a plastic insert cover for just this purpose, I'd buy that in a second!) For normal walking/play we don't have an issue with his feet getting wet. You can also waterproof the boots with one of those sprays if it's a really major issue - for me, it's not, my old school plastic bag between the lining and boot works just fine when the snow is more slush than powder.These boots keep my son's feet warm as he plays, the removable lining makes it easy to dry them out if they do happen to get wet, and I've even run the lining and boots through the wash when they got stinky from splashing in nasty mud puddles.I love these boots so much I bought the adult version for myself.
I guess these are technically a girls boot. The description says kids, but when I received them, the box stated girls. I bought these for my great nephew. He’ll never know the difference of being a girls boot. They are great. He has chubby feet, so I went “old school” and used plastic bags to help his feet slide in easier. His feet stay dry snd warm. Live the color. Fit true to size.
