Cheap snow boots mean cold feet and a second purchase

The big box store brand “waterproof” snow boots aren’t waterproof after week two. If you live somewhere with actual winter, start with the Kamik Snowcoast or the Sorel Whitney II. Check that seams are sealed and your kid can manage the closure solo — complicated laces in the morning rush are a bad combination. Lily is already lobbying for sparkly boots for next season, so I’m always doing research.
