Review on Stay Dry in Style: OAKI Kids Waterproof Rubber Rain Boots with Easy-On Handles by David Stewart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Punctured (well, cracked) rubber boots: not very effective

At first they were great. They are very cute and my daughter loves them. However, after a few months - less than a year! - My daughter started complaining that her feet got wet when she was carried and her insides got wet. At first I thought it was because she was splashing and water was seeping through the edges into the trunk, but after watching her closely I realized that couldn't be. Upon closer inspection, I found that the boots had tears at the seams on either side of each boot, allowing water to leak through and rendering them completely unusable as wellies. You could say if I had used them for a few months I would have had my money back. I would say since we live in California (in a long drought) and my daughter has worn them less than *maybe* 20 days total I would say I have been seriously scammed. I gave them two stars because they were adorable while they lasted, but no more because at the rate a toddler's foot grows, my daughter should have outgrown them long before they stopped doing their job. Very disappointed!

Pros
  • WATERPROOF MATERIAL. The boots are made from a proprietary rubber compound engineered for better flexibility and rebound as well as odor reduction. Rubber is water-repellent, keeping feet comfortable and dry.
Cons
  • New competitors appeared
