The 10 Best Boys Snow Boots

The Sorel Snow Commanders (about $42) are a nice choice for a family with children under eight years old who need protection during a long winter. The one-inch heel easily tamps down all types of snow, and the warm lining helps keep small feet toasty.

Thanks to a single oversized flap that seals tightly with Velcro, the Ska-Doo Colds (about $63) are easy for a kid to put on or take off without assistance. The rubber bottom half stays dry in the snow, the rain, or even when submerged in a puddle.

The Kamik Rockets (appx. $63) are a favorite in many families because they balance high quality with affordability. They can be tightened at both the ankle and the cuff for a comfortable, secure fit that keeps the snow out and the warmth inside.

Available in a dozen different color patterns, the Sorel Flurrys (around $56) are designed with a waterproof shell to eliminate the threat of moisture altogether. This makes them a reliable option for lively outdoor activities, such as sledding or winter fishing.

To provide sustainable warmth and protection from the snow, the Tundra Teddys (around $24) reach all the way up to the calf on most children. The outsoles provide quality traction to help prevent a kid from slipping and falling while trekking through wintry conditions.

The Columbia Powderbugs (about $57) are, as the name suggests, ideal for use in powdery snow. They can be cinched around a pair of snow pants or drawn tight to slide pants over them — whichever arrangement will best prevent accumulation from entering them.

While it’s easy to slip a pair of Northside Frostys (about $79) on or off your son’s feet, they will stay firmly (and comfortably) in place once you secure the Velcro band and tighten the cuff. A tall shaft helps keep snow out of them and provides extra stability.

Some kids get into fashion at a young age, which makes boots like the Kaluqi Winters (about $19) a lifesaver for some parents. These are waterproof, warm and lightweight, so you know you’ll come away with style points and a comfortable kid at the same time.

If you live in a northern area where ice becomes as much of an issue as snow, the Gubarun Kids (appx. $22) will give you some piece of mind. They feature a built-in ice pick on the bottom, which will help your young son gain traction on slick surfaces.

They’ll require a fairly significant investment, but the Keen Basins (appx. $203) are worth every penny: your kid will be getting top-of-the-line snow protection, support, warmth, and durability. These are a high-performance solution for long, snowy winters.
