Review on Joules Kids Printed Toddler Little Boys' Boots - Shoes by Kim Kawana

You are charming. I bought them yes because they are cute but also because of Joel's reputation for sturdy boots and I bought them to wear on serious hikes in the Costa Rican rainforest where the mud can be as deep as the boot and you can walk on some serious rough rocks. They held up despite the smudges and darkening of the artwork, although I washed the dirt off after every hike. I go on this trip every year and last year my Joules ripped right at the seam between the sole and upper. I wish I could remember it was Joules because then I would have chosen a different brand this year. I haven't found a brand that survives more than one trip to the rainforest. In order not to risk these boots failing on the trip, I will try the Hunter brand next year. They also had a size issue. I had to buy two pairs, one a size 10 which was too big for me (my last pair of Joules was a size 10 and fit perfectly) and I had to downsize to a size 9 which is a bit tight but works for me. Sure a size 9.5 would be perfect but they don't come in 9.5 which I don't understand. People over size 9 also wear half sizes.
