I bought these for my 9 year old son for an upcoming trip to the snow.  We checked fit and put them away until our trip.  Today was the day, so we got him all dressed and headed out.  First and foremost, his feet stayed dry.  However, after a day of playing in the snow I noticed he had something coming off the sole. It appears the soles tread is made of fabric?!!!  They were literally falling apart.  I am disappointed and won't recommend this pair of boots to anyone.
