Rain boots for children
Do your children love nothing more than playing outside and jumping in the puddles all year round? Then a pair of rain boots for children is indispensable. They are resistant to mud, sand and water, and super easy to clean. Choose a pair in their favourite colour or with a fun print, and let them play on!
How can I keep my feet warm in rain boots?
You’re probably well aware of how cold your toes can get in rain boots. Make sure they don’t become full-blown winter toes that sting painfully by using the following tips:
- Buy rain boots with a warm inner lining.
- Wear extra warm (hiking) socks.
- Wear warm insoles so that there’s another layer between your feet and the cold ground.
Iconic rain boots from Aigle
Rain is usually nothing to be happy about, except when it means you can put on Aigle rain boots. Red, yellow or blue. High or low. With or without a print. A traditional look or a bit of a retro twist. The choice is so extensive that you might just want to buy several pairs of rain boots from Aigle.
Those who take their hikes and/or walks in the park slightly more serious can opt for the Parcours 2 boots, Aigle’s updated version of the iconic Parcours boots for women and men. This new model has an improved sole, for better shock absorbance, and more grip and stability. The perfect boots to keep hiking, whatever the weather!
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about rain boots
Comfortable, like any other type of shoe you’d wear. As with hiking shoes, make sure your boots provide enough room for your toes, but otherwise fit snugly so your feet don’t slide around in them. It is also important that you can unwind your feet properly when walking.
Decent rain boots can be recognised by removable soles, sturdier sole constructions, and a soft inner lining that doesn’t rub against your legs. Rain boots will never be your most comfortable pair, but that is more than compensated by how practical they are!
It depends entirely on how cold and icy it is and how long you will be hiking. Technically, nothing bad should happen. Your rain boots will keep you dry: that’s what they’re made for.
The thing is, they are simply made of a layer of rubber, which does not otherwise provide much warmth or insulation. If your boots are wide at the top and do not fit around your leg well, they’ll let in a lot of cold wind. Choose boots with a soft, warm inner lining or put on a pair of thick and high hiking socks for extra warmth and comfort. When making your choice, also pay attention to how much grip your sole has. Snow means ice and ice means slipperiness!
Want to hike in the snow in comfort? Then choose winter shoes, which are really made for it.
The big advantage of rain boots is that they come up so high. Splashing water – because obviously you’re required to jump in at least one puddle while wearing your wellies – won’t get in. This is different from waterproof shoes that come up to just below or above your ankle. There are no issues with those as long as you calmly wade through that one puddle or stretch of wet grass. But if you start getting a little wilder or it starts raining harder, there is a chance that water will seep into your shoes from the top.
You can solve that by wearing gaiters. Gaiters are a kind of long, waterproof socks or leg covers that you can attach to your hiking shoes and completely seal off the top!
You have two options:
- Buy rain boots with a warm inner lining.
- Wear thick, warm hiking socks in your rain boots and possibly even add a liner (which is a kind of ‘undersock’) for even more warmth!
