After getting bit by ants in the backyard couple times, I decided to purchase these boots for my daughter.  She fell in love with these the first time she saw them and has become a pro in putting them on.  She loves running around in the backyard, however, in Texas, fireants are just not too friendly.  For some reasons, my daughter just doesn't like the inserts inside the boots and she is just wearing them without them.  They work out very well for her.  And it is very easy to wash off all the dirt and mud.

4/11/2013  Just an update: My daughter has been wearing the boots for about 1.5 years now and I started to notice some tears on the boots.  She still loves the boots and they are the only boots she wears everytime she goes to the backyard.  I am looking for some bigger size for her but unfortunately, I just can't find the same pattern anywhere, not even in the Melissa and Doug website.  Probably need to do some more convincing to talk my daughter into another pair.
