Review on Stride Rite 360 Bellamy Snow Boot for Kids - Unisex by Jeff Sorensen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good, really waterproof and well thought out boots that serve two purposes

We are Stride Rite fans but not blind. This shoe is slightly more expensive. But it does offer some unique features that make it a bargain: 1) The removable liner does two things - turns it into a straight rubber boot in spring; worn with lining as winter shoes in winter; Spring like a rain boot 2) It's designed to help kids get dressed and undressed, with starting points and holes that really work. Most winter boots are designed with parents in mind, and since everyone wants to be out in the snow/rain, this gives children valuable autonomy. The boots are completely waterproof, but the open top lets snow/water in and they are not easy to fill. Wearing legwarmers or winter trousers prevents this until spring. Removing the lining also makes them larger on the inside, which isn't a problem with wellies, but adds value and justifies the cost. Just for comparison, you can buy a pair of kids' Sorel running shoes for about the same price, with a zipper, and they can be warmer and slightly better in the snow. But kids couldn't put them on, they're not that easy to clean, and they don't have that dual-use ability.
