Kids’ snow boots, rain boots, and anytime boots: they’re all right here!

Whether winter has arrived where you live or you’re planning to head to the snow in the next few months, you’ll want to make sure the kids are ready for whatever the weather throws at you (starting with kids’ snow boots, of course). We’ve combed through the latest winter boots and found a ton of different stylish options for kids—rain, slush or snow. Scroll down to see our picks.

Rain Boots for Toddlers & Preschoolers

For early walkers and new-to-school routiners, you want shoes that are fun, easy on (and off) and puddle-proof. 

Western Chief Light-up Waterproof Rain Boot

Amazon

For your preschooler or kinder-kid who likes to sparkle, Western Chief has this fun unicorn print that will have them dancing in the puddles.

Hunter Kids First Rain Boots ($65.00+)—Buy Here!

 

 

Best Rain Boots for School-Aged Kids

As kids get older, you want something a little sturdier and a bit less “light-up” but since sizes change so quickly, you want to make sure they hold up as hand-me-downs or donations. You’re also looking for something that allows independent on/off. 

Native Shoes Kids Kensington Treklite Boots

Native Shoes

These ultra light and ultra waterproof boots are made of vegan materials and will be the stylish shoe your little one chooses when the days are wet. Use the pull tab in the back to get these on with ease.

Chooka Bellevue Rain Chelsea Rain Boots

Amazon

These ankle-height Chelsea style are as simple and sleek as a rainboot can get, with neutral, matte coloring and a soft, fleece lining. We voted the black color for a basic that is gender-neutral and goes with anything, anywhere, but there's also an equally versatile olive hue.

Your little slugger can gear up and support their fave baseball team with the Cubcoats Sports Collection! These cute creations combine the comfy kids’ MLB sportswear with a new furry friend.

The two-in-one Cubcoats Sports Collection features fully functional hoodies, hidden inside team mascot toys. This means your baseball fanatic kiddo can support their fave team in a bear-y special way. Simply unzip the bear to reveal a team-branded hoodie. When your child is done wearing their team top, follow Cubcoats’ directions and roll the hoodie back into a bear.

Cuboats hoodies are officially licensed baseball apparel, with a line-up that includes your kiddo’s favorite major league team. Each plush toy/hoodie is made from soft-touch fleece and non-allergenic materials.

The hoodies are fully lined with a 60/40 cotton-polyester blend. Don’t worry if your child drips ketchup from their baseball park hot dog onto the hoodie or accidentally drops their bear on the way to a big game. These two-in-one bear/hoodie products are completely machine washable.

These zip-up hoodies retail for between $50 and $55, and are available in sizes 2T through kids 9-10, depending on the team. Some styles are sized up to 5-6 or 6-7. Visit the Cubcoats website for size availability and to order one for your youngest baseball fan.

Forget about crossing off your older kiddo’s name with a Sharpie just to kinda sorta scratch your younger one’s name inside a hand-me-down shirt, jacket or pair of pants—because L.L. Bean’s Hand-Me-Down Trail tag is the solution you need right now.

Whether you’re handing clothes down from one sib to the next, giving them to your BFF for their younger child or donating them in any other way, the all-important name tag can get in the way.

Now with L.L. Bean’s genius idea, you can map out at least three different owners of the item. The Hand-Me-Down Trail tag looks like a pint-sized nature map and includes space for up to three different children’s names along a tiny dashed path.

The Hand-Me-Down Trail tag is available in select L.L. Bean kids’ items, including everything from rain jackets and cozy fleece vests to the brand’s insulated playground pants!
