My son loves Winter.  The first snowfall is his favorite day and he looks forward to it all year long.  These boots keep up with him and keep his toes toasty warm.  He rates them a ten.  They look good, slide on and off easily, yet don't let snow get inside.  What more could you want in a boot?  These are perfection as far as he's concerned and they are the only brand he is interested in wearing.  We're on our third year.  I'll admit that last year, I tried getting him a cheaper pair from Lands End and my son was very unhappy and his feet did not stay nearly as warm.  I'm convinced..from now on, it's Kamik's for us.  If your children love winter, too, get these and you can trust that they'll be outside for hours and their feet will stay warm and dry.  :)
