Growing up in the Midwest had taught me the importance of having boots for children. There is no need for kids in California to wear boots, except during the rainy season. If you live in or near California, then it might be a smart idea to buy boots for children to keep your kid's feet nice and dry. If you live in a harsher climate, you would probably have a different idea about boots for children. They are definitely necessary in the fall, winter, and early to mid spring.

My mother used to get me big, clunky, moon boots every year, and I hated them, not understanding how useful they were. They were thick, with a whole rubber shoe, and a warm insulated ankle piece. I still think that they are the best among all the boots for children that I've seen. They keep your feet warm and insulated, and are also very useful for walking though the snow. Although there are fancier types of children's boots, I have never seen a practical alternative.

Another great thing about moon boots is that they are water proof. As a result, they are not only useful as snow boots for children, but as rain boots as well. Although they can make a kid feel a little bit hot and sweaty, I think that it's better for their feet to be a little bit warm than a bit too cold. All parents should get this remarkable footwear for their children.

Of course, there are other kinds of boots for children as well. You might want to get hiking boots if you have a particularly active youngster. Kids have roughly the same footwear needs as adults, and if your kids want to go on a hiking trip, you should give them some trail boots. The only drawback with getting hiking boots for children is that they are expensive, and kids can quickly outgrow them. However, if you can afford to get them for your kids, then you should go for it.
