This is the third time we have bought the Waterbug Wide boots and LOVE them! We live in Minnesota and get some very cold weather, and these boots have keept my 4-year old son's feet warm and dry for hours outside. If he ever needed to be out in weather he should never be out in, I'm confident these boots would do their job. And they're good for splashing too. I'm also very pleased they are offered in Wide, since before I found these, I struggled to even get his feet into boots and had to buy them in a bigger size. Not good! I highly recommend them!
