Spring Forecast: It's Raining New Kids Boots
Rain? Check.
Coat? Check.
Boots? Check them off the list with these new styles for 2023. Kids rain boots are here to make navigating stormy days a little more fun for everyone.
When the weather won't stop 'em, gear up the girls and boys in rain boots to power through showers and puddles. Best style options to consider are a classic rubber rain boot like waterproof kids wellies or a lightweight weather boot, depending on your climate and the play options on deck.
Rubber Rain Boots
If raindrops are falling on their heads, standard rubber rain boots will keep kids' feet dry just fine. Full waterproofing lets them play in puddles and are tall enough to withstand even the most enthusiastic splashing. The fun features about many of these styles are the playful pull-on handles, prints and palettes that kids love to wear. They're made extra roomy for easy, independent on and off, but with no laces or buckles, keep in mind you can’t adjust the fit. So we recommend ordering true to size, even if you’d typically size up for fast-growing kiddos.
Light Weather Boots
Northerners take note: Standard rubber rain boots don’t provide much warmth, and while they have enough traction for slick wet sidewalks, they aren’t designed for icy surfaces. So if you live in an area where a wintry mix of rain and sleet is common, a light all-weather boot might make sense in your rain-gear arsenal.
Below, we’ve rounded up our favorites from this season’s crop of cute, cozy rain boots that'll have them singin' in the rain while staying dry.

There's not much cuter than these toddler rain boots covered in unicorns and rainbows on a purple backdrop.

Appropriately named for their water-repelling features, duck boots for girls are made for all kinds of weather, from rainy days full of puddles to the muds of slush season. Sperry Port girls’ duck boots bring a little pretty to nasty weather with a pink-and-silver waterproof rubber upper and fabric shaft.
