Rain Boots for Kids and Women: Bogs, Hello Kitty, and Ladybugs

Once while sitting in our local cafe, the proprietor came up to me and asked me if I would be interested in buying her daughter’s second hand boots. They were expensive, she said, but stylish, and her fifteen year old daughter just had to have them. Unfortunately, after wearing them for just about a month or two, her feet grew and they no longer fit. 

But they fit my feet perfectly. I was the lucky recipient of her fashion craze. And I have been very happy with them indeed.

Bogs boots are insulated so your feet stay warm as well as dry. For that reason, they are great for the in between seasons when winter boots are no longer necessary, but it’s premature to wear sneakers or shoes. I have actually been wearing my Bogs all winter because I take a boat to town and find them more convenient and useful on the dock than my other boots. As I’ve said before, my Bogs keep my feet dry. 

They come in a variety of patterns and colors. They are mainly brown, black, or gray with sprigs of flowers that climb up the sides. These flowers are where the color comes in. 

Mine look like retro ’60’s flower power. The flowers are turquoise and yellow against a brown background. They’re cute, though probably not my first choice of colors. 

You, of course, could choose your own colors and style. Here are the ones I’ve found to share with you.

One of the things to look out for when choosing boots for a young child is how easy they are to put on and take off. The best, of course, is a pair that the child can put on him or herself. 

Some rain footwear for kids have little handles built right in that the child can hang onto while sticking his or her feet into the boot. Your little one will be proud to be able to put on these boots all by him or herself!

Many kids' wellingtons have matching coats and/or umbrellas. You can find these sets by checking my other pages on kids’ umbrellas and kids’ raincoats. 

Of course, maybe Hello Kitty or even the color pink is not for you. Here are some alternatives. Butterflies are a delicate and graceful image to put on boots. They can inspire you to fly over whatever gets in your way -- slush, snow, even mud or sand!

Ladybugs are a popular bug for young children. Their bright red color is often a favorite, and the fact that ladybugs have black spots that kids can count, makes them friendly and appealing.
