“People who get their feet wet must learn to take their medicine,” Mary Poppins declared as she dispensed a mysterious liquid from an unlabeled bottle to her wary charges in the 1964 film. We now know that you can’t actually catch a cold from being wet and cold, but parents are still just as passionate about keeping children’s feet warm and dry.Great rain or snow boots can assist with this worthy endeavor. After testing 36 pairs, we have eleven to recommend, in sizes from toddler to tween. Some excel in snow; others are made for splashing. But every boot on this list will help kids brave the elements with comfort, style, and resilience.Everything we recommendThe Bogs Essential Rain Tall is our favorite overall rain boot due to its seamless construction, excellent traction, and convenient handles. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterThe Bogs Essential Rain Mid is the same fantastic boot, just shorter and without those easy-pull-on handles. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterWe also love the classic Bogs Rain Boot, which (unlike the Bogs Essential boot) comes in several fun and colorful prints. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterThe Xtratuf Ankle Deck Boot is a pick in our guide to the best rain boots for adults, and the kid version is also notably grippy and comfortable. Prominent cloth tabs make this boot easy for kids to pull on independently. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterThe Lone Cone Rain Boots come in more patterns and colors than most of our other picks, for about half the price. But they are less likely to hold up through multiple kids. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterIf you’re looking for a warm, durable, no-nonsense winter boot, the Bogs Classic Seamless is tough to beat. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterThe Sorel Flurry Children’s Boot is another high-quality winter boot that stands out for its cozy felt liner and bungee-cinching snow collar. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterThe Kamik North Pole is similar in design to the Sorel boot. It’s less expensive but more difficult for kids to cinch on their own. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterIf you need a single boot that can do it all, turn to the Bogs York. These insulated rain boots are warm enough for the occasional snow day, but they also work as all-weather rain and mud boots. Michael Hession/NYT WirecutterThe streamlined Bogs Baby Snow Shell Boots are our favorite snow boots for toddlers. They’re super warm and waterproof, and they’re incredibly easy to put on and take off. Michael Murtaugh/NYT WirecutterThe Sorel Snow Commander Boots are another great winter option for toddlers. The plush faux-fur uppers make them especially cozy, but their hefty soles can be clunky for new walkers. Michael Murtaugh/NYT WirecutterThe Bogs Essential Rain Tall is our favorite overall rain boot due to its seamless construction, excellent traction, and convenient handles.
