Review on Waterproof Printed Boys' Shoes: 👞 Western Chief Boots with Convenient Handles by Ryan Sandell

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-free, heavy metal-free, or formaldehyde-free adhesives.) Very hard to find. This is the third pair of Western Chief boots we have. All different colors. I know some reviewers didn't like them, but of the three pairs we had, they were the workhorse. My son likes to wear wellies when he works in the garden with his father and they have worked together on projects for years and his feet have always been dry and clean. When he was very small, like a size 4, they were a little heavier but he walked fine in them, but they are heavier than, for example, the ones sold in big kids PVC boxes. My children have very wide feet and a thick instep and it is difficult to find shoes for them that fit their feet without being specifically designed for wide and extra wide widths. The western chief seems to be very generous. The wide, thick feet are easy to slip into the boot and there are some strips on the sides to keep the feet from getting stuck in 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 oil smell. Like gasoline? So I'm wondering how natural rubber they were. I returned it.
