Wellington Boots for Kids
Rain boots for children: wellies in plain colours and prints, lined winter boots and boots with a handle.
Puddles are the point
A child in wellies goes straight through a puddle instead of round it, and that is exactly what a walk should be. Dry feet mean an outing lasts an hour rather than ten minutes. Boots also make gardening and the beach possible in any weather.
Getting the fit right
Leave about a centimetre of room at the toe, since wellies are usually worn with thick socks. A boot that is too loose slides at the heel and causes blisters on a long walk. Pull handles at the top let a four-year-old get them on alone, which saves a small argument every morning.
