Review on OAKI Purple Rubber Boots for Toddler Boys – Ideal Footwear for Outdoor Activities by Hector Liamsi

First I have to say that I didn't quite believe it when the reviewers said these boots were 2 sizes too big. Wanting to buy something that has little room to grow as my 21 month old is between a size 5 and 6 for toddlers made me a little skeptical about how big everyone was saying these boots were. Well, they were so right. ! Most brands barely fit a size 6. Thinking I would give her thick socks to go with those wellies I bought her a size 5 hoping they would fit like a size 6. But these boots are gigantic. very strong and a little heavier. It looked like my daughter was pulling steel boots when she tried them on. The shaft opening is also quite wide, so if she stepped forward her legs would slip out. I walked a few steps. Compare a pair of old size 5 navy blue boots that fit her well. Oakiwear has a much larger shaft and the boot runs well over 1 size. I also compared the size 5 and size 7 TOMS shoes to oak canvas boots. TOMS is more appropriate for toddler shoes in my opinion. and size 7 TOMS is approximately the same size as our size 5 Oakiwear boots. Considering the size, these boots are very durable and thick. Love the specific design I bought and the fact that I didn't have to shell out double for a Hunter or Hatley boot while still getting the quality and desirability of those boots. I just have to wait another year for my girl to wear them! UPDATE: (12/17/18) My daughter is now 26 months and wears size 6 shoes, can sometimes wear a size 7 if they are trainers. It rained a week ago and we tried them on again. still too clumsy and heavy to walk because her feet slip off. I have a feeling she probably won't be able to wear them until she's a size 7 and 8.
