These are the best lightweight, waterproof boots I have found for our boys. They are easy to put on themselves. We use them on rainy days and even in winter when it's not too cold. They are great for nature hikes and going into shallow streams. See the attached photo for these boots coming in from playing in muddy puddles. Good grooves grips on the soles. And my sons report no tripping over when wearing them even on rough terrain. One important note: make sure to wear socks. Our son gets sweaty feet from running around and his heels had a major blister from wearing these rubbers barefoot. We have progressive bought these boots from age 2 till now 5. Highly recommend these for toddlers to kids.
