MOOKS (boys)

Where do you get their snow boots? DS1 (11) is in a size 8.5/9 so needs to buy “adult” shoes. We akways got him basic LL Bean snow boots but the kid sizes only go up to 7. All the adult boots I see are not his style (lace up duck boot types) or $150. His feet grow so fast that shoes don’t last more than a few months. I’m not spending that on boots he will only wear a handful of times.

I bought my kid's last pair on Amazon.

I'm not sure where you are located, but I just got my son boots at Big 5. They were $20, he wears men's sizes.

Amazon should work. Zappos has a better design for shoes/boots so that might work too.

We’ve actually had a lot of luck in secondhand and consignment stores.

What about Bogs? I see a lot of kids older than my boys in those.

[notsopicky]

I think H got E's at a sporting goods store. Of course, $$$$, bc H has a spending problem, lol.

Check out Dream Pairs brand boots on Amazon. My son has had them a couple of years now and they’ve held up well and look nice to both of us

[JayhawkGirl]

Well scratch that. They go to 6

[pierogigirl]

I second Bogs. Zappos, Tractor Supply and other places have them.

I have a lot of luck for my girls (my 11 year old is in women’s 7.5 and my 9 year old wear’s a wkmen’s 8) at Marshall’s. I usually pay under $30 for decent boots. We’re in coastal NJ, so we need boots but they don’t necessarily get a ton of wear.

Bogs or kamik

I do bogs for my kids (all girls). I don’t mind spending more because they are good for rain and snow, and can often be found on resale sites. I don’t pay more than $30 for them.

Resale shops. Most of the kids’ size/small adult sizes have been worn for one season because kids outgrow them so fast.

Target. They had some Bogs knock offs (in larger sizes) that are holding up well. I refuse to spend $$$ on snow boots that they wear minimally.

[esdreturns]

My mom got my older DS (12) a nice pair of boots on Woot.com for fairly cheap.

I'm generally very "no thank you" when it comes to used shoes, but for something like snowboots I would make an exception. Definitely check your local b/s/t groups on facebook and local consignment shops, you can definitely get some good deals if you can find them. Snowboots are so dang expensive and barely worth it, especially around here (Philly burbs) where winter storms are hit or miss, we have years where we barely get any snow and other years where we spend the entire winter digging out.

[carmenere]

Try Payless. They have a pretty wide range of sizes and a pair of boots probably wouldn't cost more than $40.

[georgeglass]

Target. We only need them about 10 days a year here.
