Top 5 Baby Boots for Winter

By , About.com Guide

Cold weather, snow and slush call for baby boots that can keep little feet warm and dry. As a parent, I require good tread, durability and a boot that is easy for me to get on and off squirmy toes. Here's a round-up of this season's best baby boots, all which meet my discerning criteria.

Crocs 'Powder'

Crocs 'Powder' Baby BootsPiperlime/CJ

Buy Direct: Piperlime

These baby boots by Crocs give a whole new meaning to the phrase "boots with the fur."

Great for walkers, these are water resistant, lightweight, antimicrobial, odor resistant and easy to put on, you couldn't ask for a better (or more fashionable) solution to baby boots for the coming slushy season.

UGG Kids 'Boo'

Buy Direct: Nordstrom

Available in a range of colors, the UGG Kids 'Boo' style is best for pre-walkers, but the logo embossed bottom does provide enough traction for early walkers as well.

Moccasin-inspired,the twin-faced sheepskin baby boot has a reinforced heel and toe to keep little feet protected; elastic cording up the back creates faux-lacing and provides easy on-and-off for mom and dad.

Timberland 'Inclement Traveler'

Timberland boots have been a trusted name in the outdoor industry for years. These baby boots have waterproof seam-sealed construction, hook-and-loop Velcro closure for a perfect fit and adjustability and a lightweight, non-marking rubber outsole for great traction. That makes these a great choice for walkers that are getting a taste of their first snowfall.

Pictured are the boys version, but you can also grab a pair for little girls in pink and white.

Stride Rite 'Cold Front'

Buy Direct: Zappos.com

A miniature moon boot is what this is! I love the "open-wide" feature on this boot because it makes it so easy to slip on when your baby is anxious to get out and play. Velco closure is adjustable and wraps all the way around the boot, keeping snow locked out and feet toasty warm and dry.

Available in pink, navy and white.

Made with a waterproof nylon upper and removable warmth-retaining liner, this baby boot features a thermal insole, a reflective patch for visibility at night and a traction outsole that grips on snow and ice. Adjustable bungee-cord closure makes it easy for independent kids to get on and off, while the midfoot Velcro strap ensures a snug fit.
