BOGS Kid's Skipper Waterproof Rubber Rain Boot - Warm, OdorFighting

In this review the BOGS Kid's Skipper waterproof rubber boot is evaluated for parents who need a dependable, allweather kids boot. The bottom line: this boot is best for children who play outdoors in wet, cold conditions because its 5mm neotech insulation, full rubber waterproof shell and pull handles make it easy to get on and keep feet warm and dry. The reviewer found the combination of waterproof construction and odor control to be the single biggest reason to buy.

Key Features

• Fully waterproof rubber: A 100% rubber exterior keeps puddles and slush out so feet stay dry during rainy outings.
• Insulated neotech construction: The 5mm waterproof insulation adds warmth for chilly days and comfort down to about -4F.
• Stretchy odor control bootie: The inner bootie uses durafresh technology to resist unwanted odors for longer wear between washes.
• Maxwick lining and footbed: Moisturewicking lining moves sweat away from the foot to help keep toes dry and comfortable all day.
• Easy on/off pull handles: Pull handle sides provide a secure fit and make the boots quick for kids to put on and remove themselves.
• Nonslip outsole: A nonmarking, nonslip rubber outsole with selfcleaning tread improves traction on muddy or slick surfaces.

Who It's For

The Skipper works well for families who need a rugged, allweather boot for kids who play outdoors, walk to school, or help with chores in wet conditions. It is particularly useful when parents want a waterproof combo that also resists odors and manages moisture inside the boot.

Parents looking for a lightweight fashion boot with minimal insulation or a dress shoe alternative should look elsewhere; the Skipper is designed for function in temperate to cold, wet environments rather than for formal wear or very warm climates.

Pros & Cons
