Our favorite boots here in Alaska. I usually wear these boots for my 10 and 11 year old boys for two years. We've had over 6 pairs of boots and I've found their limitations: the soles wear out and get slippery and they have a wear point on the heels (to be honest we just step on our backs, take our foot out and put them on). doesn't actually reach down with his hands and take them off). They can be pressed tightly to the calves, and pulling them off with your hands will cause the boots to fly, leading to a sibling fight. The insoles often wear out quickly. The size is almost right. I always take size 1/2-1. They loosen up a little, but not much. The pattern will not hold - the top and sides will be erased. Mostly stay warm to -30; As with any shoe, it depends on the socks, I got cold in these boots if I worked outside for more than 15 minutes an hour. ps is less than -10 but it was only with regular sports socks. Alaskans are skeptical about thermal performance, but these are really good boots for our winters. I'm sticking with this brand as I love their durability, warmth and ease of use. Imagine if a heavier child might have difficulty with this. UPDATE years later: these guys still wear them (voluntarily) and I still trudge to work in my barn. I myself have two pairs with whimsical patterns that get compliments from everyone (even men!). However, swamps become less watertight as they age. But I'm talking about age. For example 6 years or more. Holes appear in the neoprene and the seams come undone; I suppose that was to be expected. Also, despite what Boggs says about antimicrobials, they can and do give off a strong stench after about a year. I've found that if you fill a whole boot with water in a bath with some real antibacterial detergent and let it sit for an hour or so and then dry it completely, they'll keep it perfectly fresh for another 6 months or so. I also tossed them in the washing machine with some towels to freshen them up and they looked amazing. Completely dry and they're back in business. I remain a regular customer.
