Ice Breaker Sorel boots have 6 features that help make them the top of the line in kids snow boots.

Ice Breaker Sorel boots have all the highest quality components and design elements. These unisex boots are available in youth and children’s sizes. The 6 features that make up these boots are:

1. They are waterproof and seam sealed.
2. The upper shaft section is made of polyurethane 600 Denier Ripstorm nylon.
3. A drawstring with a barrel lock is used to close the shaft and keep snow out.
4. An adjustable instep strap helps adjust for closer comfort.
5. A removable Thermoplus felt innerboot is washable.
6. There is a 2.5 mm bonded felt frost plus and non-marking thermal rubber lug outsole to keep you kid’s foot warmer and your floors cleaner.

Granted you’ll spend a little more on this model than some other but I think you’d be hard pressed to find a better snow boots for kids.

However, if the $76 or so for this royal blue boot is more than you want to spend, I suggest you also check out the Sorel Shark. It has the same components but no adjustable instep strap. Another brand and boot to look at is the Kamik Rocket for kids. This boot gets high marks and is very good as well. Also check out the Sorel Ice Fox and Snow Otter. Both of these are cheaper but still have some of the components of the Ice Breaker. They are wind and water resistant rather than waterproof.

Just for the sake of being thorough, you might also take a look at Columbia and see their Superpiper and Halfpiper. These children’s boots are very different in appearance than the Sorel’s are. They look more like snowboard boots. Kids are really into these looks and these boots get rave reviews. Their components are also highly rated.

The only place I found with a good selection of all these mentioned boots was Zappos. They had all the brands at reasonable prices. They are famous for great customer service and it’s hard to beat such an excellent online dealer. Everywhere else I looked had weak selections at best. Plus the problem is most sell camping gear and other stuff. This causes them to be unfocused on boots and footwear. It makes it hard to find what you want. Go to Zappos and get the job done quick is what I say.
