The Best Boots for Girls
There's just something so fun about shopping for boots for your little girl, isn't there? I have a daughter of my own, and even though she's only three, she is quite particular about her fashion choices. There are three components to her wardrobe that are a must: 1. Everything must have a pattern. 2. All items must be soft. and 3. When it comes to footwear, boots are always best. So I'm somewhat of an expert here in what makes the best boots for girls, and I even consulted the resident boot expert herself. Here are some of our very favorites.
DADAWEN Waterproof Short Ankle Snow Boots
Trendy, Yet Warm
If you live in a colder climate, you know that a warm boot is essential to enjoying cold weather. The problem is, a lot of cold weather boots don’t cut it when it comes to girls who love a little style. That’s where these boots come in. Both trendy and warm, these ankle boots have a cozy inside that keeps tiny toes toasty. The durable faux leather outer is easy to care for, durable, and keeps feet nice and dry even on those wet, snowy day walks. With an easy on/off zipper and elastic loop, these are a cinch for smaller hands to slip on.
Pros:
- Trendy and warm.
- Rubber sole provides optimal cushioning and stability.
- Multiple colors to choose from.
- Two types of lining available.
Cons:
- With a short ankle, these boots aren’t ideal for those extra snowy days.
ArcticShield Durable Outdoor Boots
Incredibly Durable
These boots have a lot of key must-haves, even if at first glance they look like plain black rubber boots. Made from the highest quality neoprene, these rubber boots are completely waterproof all the way up the shaft, and they’re surprisingly warm, too. In fact, they’re ideal during those cold-weather days when the slush and snow won’t quit. In a plain black or classic camouflage, these are low-key and understated, fitting the bill perfectly when warmth, water-resistance, and durability are called for.
Pros:
- 7mm neoprene rubber.
- Removable insoles.
- Shanks for increased stability.
- Excellent tracking for slippery conditions.
- Pull tabs make putting these high boots on incredibly easy, even for small hands.
Cons:
- Size up for best fit.
KRABOR Girls Glitter Snow Boots
Gorgeous Glittery Boots with a Furry, Fun Lining
These boots tick off a couple of the must-haves on my daughter’s fashion criteria: first, they are soft; and second, they are boots. With a delightfully furry interior, these trendy mid-rise boots will keep your girl cozy and warm on cold, dreary days. With a cotton lining, a memory insole, and a unique glitter exterior, these have both practicality and fashion in mind. Fashionable lace-up backs help to create stability. Multiple color choices are available and here’s a fair warning: there are some good ones, so with their budget-friendly price point, you might just end up with a few (for my daughter, it was a toss-up between the magic pink and the rose gold).
Pros:
- Fun color choice options.
- Rubber sole.
- Easy on/off.
Cons:
- These boots don’t have much traction on those slippery days.
UGG Kid’s Butte II CWR Boot
Warm is an Understatement
I live in an extremely cold climate and suffer from cold feet. It would be awful, except I outfit myself well. I have these boots in an adult size for myself, so when I say these are warm, trust me. These boots can withstand temperatures down to -20C. Made with a durable leather outer and a tough rubber sole that grips well, these are waterproof, weatherproof, and have a cushy, soft wool insole. At their higher price point, these are really meant for kiddos who live in long, snowy, cold-weather climates – but hey, they’re worth it.
Pros:
- Incredibly warm in all cold-weather elements.
- Tall boot keeps the snow and ice out.
- Four color choices available.
- Exact boots are available in adult sizes, which means that you can match with your mini.
Cons:
- They’re pricey for a kid’s growing foot.
Hatley Girl’s Printed Rain Boots
Make a Splash
When it comes to rain boots, you have to get the best. And when it comes to the best, it comes to Hatley. These boots are incredibly durable considering they don’t fall apart at the seams – not even after multiple seasons of wear and tear. This means those little feet stay dry even in a delightfully deep puddle. With a 100% rubber outer and a 100% cotton lining, your little one’s feet will be comfortable, too. Pull-on closures, slip-resistant soles, and a removable insole make these boots a favorite among parents, too. Adorable patterns help make these some of the best rain boots on the market.
Pros:
- Low heel for stability and comfort.
- Durable seams.
- Fun, child-approved prints.
Cons:
- Sizing runs large.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are hard-soled boots safe for developing feet?
For young babies, soft soles are best. This is true even as they begin walking. Once they have mastered walking and are ready to venture on tougher terrain, hard soles are perfectly fine for those developing feet. However, for further development, it is nice to allow barefoot walking frequently so as to build up the muscles of their feet, ankles, and legs. For further questions, it’s always recommended to speak with your pediatrician.
What should I consider when buying boots?
This depends on a few key factors. Are these for cold weather, but you don’t see much snow? Low-rise, insulated boots are fine here. Or are you looking for a nice pair of fashionable, every-day-boots for school? You’ll want a pair that looks nice, sure, but are also incredibly durable. Assessing how the boots are used most frequently will determine what you should consider when buying.
