Review on πŸ‘ž SEO-Optimized Stride Rite Bellamy Little Boys' Shoes by Bob Schultz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice really waterproof well thought out boot that serves two purposes

We are Stride Rite fans but not blind. This shoe is slightly more expensive. But it offers some unique features that make it a bargain: 1) The removable liner does two things - turns it into a straight rain 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 boot is totally waterproof but the open top allows snow/water to get in and is not easy to tuck in. 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.

Pros
  • Outdoor
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
