Very warm and cuddly, absolutely waterproof, true to size.

zero delivery problems; fits perfectly; does not lick at all; 10 year old loves them and tells me they are very warm and comfortable (important because we live in Alaska). Columbia always passes; They are one of the newest reliable companies. left in the states.

Pros
  • The fit is snug enough to stay put and not blister, and loose enough to slip off with the right effort. Definitely recommend.
Cons
  • These snowshoes are good but the elastic broke when my daughter put them on for the first time.

so soft inside!

So far, so good. This is for my 11 year old child. I put my feet in to see how they felt and they were so soft. I'll let you know if I find any negatives about them, but for the price and the amount of snow we're encountering (um, hello from Louisiana), they're perfect for a vacation, cold weather at a hunt camp, or a rainy and cold soccer game!

Pros
  • Great protection from snow and water, my son's feet got so warm after 2 hours of playing in the snow. Highly recommended 👌
Cons
  • It's not comfortable, it's too hard

Impossible to reach

Very disappointed in them. At first they were sent untagged and just tossed into an Amazon box. Someone has sloppy seconds during a pandemic. My toddler just grew to a size 4 so I went for a size 4 boot. I couldn't even begin to put her foot in the sole of her boot. Will return. They looked like they were warm and waterproof. Super heavy with a very hard bottom. Not the best option for a small child.

Pros
  • Great winter boot! Durable and warm. Highly recommended
Cons
  • Muy buenas pero muy peaadas

Go up a size or two

I like the boots but my kid wears a size 6 Tudler but this shoe doesn't fit her feet, the sock that goes in and out is too small when I take it off, the boot is too big so can they don't even wear them

Pros
  • Offers excellent value for money with quality features and an affordable price.
Cons
  • Boots can have a hard time holding on in the snow, leaving feet cold and wet.

Durable but not waterproof

I think these boots will handle the snow just fine, but they don't hold up in the rain and the inside doesn't get wet. They do not have a removable sole and the inside can take up to 5 days to dry. Our son goes to school, which is mostly outdoors. So if they get wet on Monday, we'll have to spend the rest of the week in wet boots. I will not buy again.

Pros
  • Durable construction to withstand harsh gaming and weather conditions.
Cons
  • Boots may not be suitable for children with sensitive skin due to possible irritation from the material.

Not suitable for small children

Almost everything we get from the Columbia brand has been durable except for these boots. We got them as a gift for our 18 month old and didn't even get to use them. Good luck trying to put them on your child's feet. The design is very bad. Buy a pair of boots that open wide until your child is old enough to wear them alone.

Pros
  • I'm glad I bought them, great quality!
Cons
  • On the heavier side - tough for. 2 years for maneuvers even without snow.

A liner is missing completely!

I'm so pissed! I bought these boots well before the season started. I checked them out, they seem good. I just took them out of the box for my son to carry in the 5 inch of snow we got last night. ONE OF THE BEARINGS IS COMPLETELY MISSING! Of course, the return period is long gone and Revain doesn't give me a way to contact the seller. Pure waste of money!

Pros
  • Perfect winter boots. Easy to put on and take off, keeps feet dry and warm in cold and wet weather.
Cons
  • Boots are not easy to clean

size up! My review

I ended up increasing my kids' shoes by one size from their normal shoe size. My 3 year old's foot size is 9", I gave him a 12" baby, and my 6" year old's foot size gave her a 7" baby. It's true that these boots are difficult to put on on small feet and quite heavy, but the removable insole makes it a little easier and I couldn't resist the quality and the fact that my kid's feet would be warm and dry! Even though they are quite heavy, my kids still love to carry them.

Pros
  • This is a great purchase! The boots fit my son perfectly, he loves them!
Cons
  • Boots can be difficult for children to put on on their own

200g instead of 400g is good for me

Nice boot but I am disappointed I received a boot rating of 200g instead of 400g as stated in the description. I'm not sure if they will help in Idaho in the winter.

Pros
  • The heel is very ribbed, but still fits well. very waterproof.
Cons
  • I increased the size and the ankle is still too narrow for my baby foot.

Very difficult to put on

These boots absolutely need a side zipper and are very heavy. Thank you, good I tried putting them on my one year old before the trip because I ended up returning them and got a cheaper pair with zips.

Pros
  • My son says they are comfortable, feet are warm and dry.
Cons
  • Not suitable

Seam torn 2 hours after wearing

My son only wore these boots for walking in the snow, they weren't even rough and the hole broke after 2 hours of wear. Ordered on 2/14, worn a few hours on 2/17.

Pros
  • Perfecta 🤩 me encantaron son muy cómodas para niños pequeños
Cons
  • I read the reviews, many of them said the size is bigger, so my daughter wears a 12, and 13 is the way to go tall. Not satisfied with the money I paid

Sit well and keep your feet dry

I bought these for my daughter to prepare for the snow this year. I'm glad I bought them early as we had snow back in October! She is very demanding when it comes to shoes, but she likes it. They are light enough for a 5 year old to put on, fit her well, are comfortable and waterproof. She wore them in the crazy downpour we had and her feet stayed dry. I would definitely buy them again next year.

Pros
  • Currently
Cons
  • Shoes can rub against a child's ankle and cause discomfort.

This brand has never failed

Since there are so many photos of all types of boots, I chose this famous brand. Snow boots should be durable, water-resistant and offer good protection for children's feet and ankles. I am happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Our granddaughter loves her new boots.
Cons
  • Boots may not have an adjustable strap to ensure a snug fit.

Not suitable for children under 2 years

Seems great boots but impossible to stand on an 18 month old foot. She can put on other shoes and boots just fine, but they are so tight at the ankles that she cannot move her leg properly to put them on. Tried them around 6 times around the house. I put my feet in it twice and loved walking in it. But it's not worth putting them on. Unfortunately we will be back. We ordered a size or two up just in case, so the problem definitely wasn't that they were too small.

Pros
  • Versatile, ideal for winter outdoor activities such as tobogganing and snowboarding.
Cons
  • Boots may not be ideal for children with orthotics or other foot supports.

A chunky, easy-on boot that works.

The typical chunky snowshoe we all know. Not that stylish, but they keep making them because they work. Easy to put on, keeps feet dry, easy to put on and take off without help. They wear great and are passed on to another child.

Pros
  • Reliable grip on slippery and icy surfaces for safe walking.
Cons
  • Boots may not be suitable for children with high arches.

Completed return in my review

They didn't work on my very small teenage feet. He wears a size 4 1/2 shoes so I bought them a size 5. They were too small. Didn't have time to deliver the large pair before our snowy trip. We ended up trying a second brand, Northside, which was uncomfortable even at 7 on my son's larger foot. We chose the seventh size Sorels. He really likes her.

Pros
  • They were perfect!!
Cons
  • Boots may not be appropriate for all winter sports.

Warm and true to size

These works are perfect for my 10 year old son. The boots are warm, waterproof in the snow here in Minnesota, and comfortable. True to size.

Pros
  • It's water resistant and the quality is good, but it's a bit heavy for little kids.
Cons
  • Boots may not be suitable for children with wide feet.

Warm and fit well, bottom wears out quickly

These boots are warm and perfect for our 2 year old. My first concern is that after a few weeks of light use, bits of rubber on the soles of the boots have come loose. I've never seen this on other Columbia boots so I was very surprised.

Pros
  • brand, waterproof
Cons
  • Color may fade over time

Durable winter boots for toddlers

We bought these winter boots for my 2.5 year old son. They're a bit heavy, but they're great winter boots. They are waterproof and will keep your feet warm while playing in the snow.

Pros
  • Suitable for both boys and girls due to the unisex design.
Cons
  • Boots may not be versatile enough to wear in all seasons.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A little heavy and bulky

The insole is a little stiff and not suitable for children who feel the ground beneath them. At the same time, my almost 3-year-old child did not slip in at all. We found ourselves on a busy sledding hill that was completely covered in ice so there wasn't much mud or fluff to see how it held up in the humidity. I would buy again but I miss the soft quilted clothes from my childhood. I can't find it anywhere. So these will fit.

Pros
  • Waterproof upper that effectively keeps feet dry when wet.
Cons
  • Boots may not have a secure closure, which can cause them to slip off.
