Best kids’ snow boots to keep little feet warm and dry all winter, tried and tested

Snow boots should be waterproof, warm and breathable - (Zoe Phillimore/The Independent)

Snow days are made for snowball fights, snowmen and snow angels, but cold feet or a slippery pavement can quickly put an end to the fun. While wellies are a winter staple, they’re not exactly known for keeping little feet warm. That’s where the best kids’ snow boots come in, offering warmth and grip for snowy days and winter holidays alike.

Waterproofing is a must for any decent snow boot. Look for a rubber outer, sealed seams and a gusseted tongue to help keep out snow and water. A warm lining, such as fleece or Thinsulate, will help keep little feet cosy, while removable linings are a bonus, as they can be taken out the boot to dry. Boots should also come above the ankle, to prevent snow getting in over the top.
