Review on πŸ‘’ Top-rated Western Chief Waterproof Printed Boys' Boots with Convenient Handles by Todd Phillips

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great natural rubber boots for kids who accommodate wide, thick feet!

I try to find the most non-toxic shoes for my young children as their bodies are very young and developing. These include rubber boots made of natural rubber. (1 star removed because they don't say if their paints and dyes are lead and heavy metal free or their adhesives are formaldehyde free). Very hard to find. This is the third pair of Western Chief boots we have. All different colors. I know they didn't resist some reviewers but of the three pairs we had they were workhorse boots. My son likes to wear wellies when he works in the garden with his father and they have worked on projects together for years and his feet stayed dry. and clean. When it was really small, like a size 4, they were a bit heavier, but he walked fine in them, but they're heavier than, say, those big kids' PVC boxes. My children have very wide and thick feet and insteps it is difficult to find shoes for them that fit their feet without being tailored to be wide and extra wide. The western chief seems to be very generous. The wide, thick feet slide easily into the boot and there are some strips on the sides to keep the feet from being sucked into the boot. I bought a size 9 frog and they are great for the height and comfortable in width. You have so many cute designs to choose from. If your child has very narrow feet they might move a little, I don't know. At least try them. I have also purchased Stonz boots and they are good quality too and clearly non-toxic, odorless. But they're about $10/pair more expensive than the Western Chief if you don't close the deal. So, western chief, it is correct now! Also, I can't verify the material composition of the boot, but when I opened the box, the smell of natural rubber came out of the box. I bought another brand of boots, supposedly made of natural rubber, and when I opened the box, there was a very powerful brain cell that got rid of the gasoline smell. Like gasoline? So I'm wondering how natural rubber they were. I returned it.

Pros
  • Armhole measures approximately 10.25 inches around
Cons
  • Some small things
