Edit we tried. I'm happy to say that these boots did a fantastic job! 20+ inches of snow and about 20*F, boots didn't close over 2 pairs of pants, winter pant cuffs and sock (too tight for 2 socks despite being too big). His feet stayed warm and dry even after digging and playing outside for more than 2 hours on two different days. On the 3rd day his feet got wet but the cuffs of his winter suit were not tucked in properly so the snow fell off instead of getting into the boot. However, the closure stayed closed even though it was only velcro and I expected the boots to break as a result. Wow, I'm impressed! The only improvement would be a velcro strap, but I'm certainly not dissatisfied with these boots - I think they're worth it. They are easy to walk on and seem comfortable as my son has shed his heavier branded boots. I will most likely buy another pair next winter. Added 2 photos - 1 to show the freedom of movement and 1 to show my son sunken in the snow the day his feet stayed dry. I ordered a half size up so my son can wear two pairs of socks if needed, but until now we've only had one big snowstorm so it wasn't necessary. However, this does not make the boots too big for walking/playing. He wore them to play in 30 degree weather (but that's where I draw the line for outdoor play). He's only 2 years old and can't put words to it when he's too cold, so we never go outside for more than an hour at a time - these boots keep his feet warm (yes, I'm the mom who wears her socks takes off and touches toes) and it seems easier to put on those chunky winter boots from Colombia that we have for real winter storms. They are mid-rise, maybe shorter, and have velcro that closes fairly well. Overall I love these boots and would buy them again. Worn out in mud and slush, feet stayed dry. I cleaned it with an old brush and a cloth dampened with water and then put it in a dryer to dry.
