Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Columbia Fairbanks Waterproof Graphite Boys' Shoes - Ideal for Children's Activities by Onsommoshit Mathews

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Narrow and too short for snow

advantages:1. They really are waterproof. My son wore them in quite rainy and muddy weather and his socks were never wet when he took his shoes off. They look good and don't look cheap made of high quality materials.3. Easy to take off and put on. Cons: 1. Fits my 5 year old son's foot. They could be a bit wider because of course in winter we wear thicker socks and at first he complained that they were too tight. But I stuffed a pair of socks in and pulled them out of the vent to warm them up and stretch them a bit, which worked. 2. Another thing I would like is a taller boot. I don't know why but I expected them to be much higher. Instead, they're more like a high-top shoe. Snow is falling and it's difficult to warm your ankles. All in all I decided to keep them because we didn't have enough time to go back and wait for another pair. Stretching the boot to expand them was basically my plea that it works and luckily it worked, but I don't want to do that when you're paying as much money for something as you are. They think they'll be perfect boots, but they're not. I would also return them and choose taller boots so snow doesn't get in.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
