My grandson loves these in the winter! This is his second pair...I put protectant spray on them before he gets them because he is 7 and in hard on his shoes! (He worn the first pair everyday this past winter and was not happy when I threw them out, dirty, crushed and to small! But i promised him a new pair and all was good!) I also have Bearpaw boots for myself and 2 granddaughters. They are good quality and extremely comfortable!
