Review on Ultimate Outdoor Performance: Weatherproof Insulated Durability Boys' Shoes for All Weather Closures by Vedavyas Fleming

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not designed for northern winters

These boots look OK but as a lifelong New Yorker from upstate New York I could tell as soon as I opened them that there would be complaints from my son. Here's my assessment: The sole is stiff and smooth. Yes, he has caterpillars. No, the freezing point is not affected by this. In addition, the sole does not bend, the treads clog quickly, and the rubber freezes and becomes like hard plastic. The insole has almost no padding. No squeezing to hold your foot or conform to the shape of your foot. The lining is uncomfortable and incomplete. The stem is similar to the outer throw pillow and is a fiberfill-filled nylon material. There is no insulating lining around the foot. Because they were so cheap I guess I got what I paid for and hoped my son wouldn't notice the poor quality. It was difficult to walk in and he kept slipping and his feet were cold. They have loads of positive feedback - maybe I'm not the right audience, or maybe other kids aren't so picky.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
