Kids may act like they’re invincible, but we adults know better! Keeping little feet warm and dry during winter is up to you, which means it’s up to us here at Stan’s Shoes to stock the best winter shoes for babies, toddlers, and kids of all ages.

Discover our favorite children’s cold-weather shoes below before shopping online or in store at Stan’s Brookfield location. Make sure to grab your pair before the Midwest cold REALLY sets in!

What to Look for in Kids Winter Boots

Much like adult winter footwear, kids’ winter shoes should have the following qualities:

Warm: Look for insulated footwear made with cozy materials like fleece and sherpa.
Waterproof: Whether snow and rain are coming down from above or soaking in from below, waterproof materials help keep moisture out.
Good Traction: A well-made outsole should have built-in traction to prevent kids from slipping and falling on the ice (as much as possible, anyway!)
The right fit: Kids’ feet grow rapidly, so we recommend measuring your child’s feet immediately before buying their shoes so they’re as comfortable as possible.

Below are a few of our top picks based on this criteria. For our full selection, check out our online store today!

Best Winter Shoes for Toddlers & Babies

Browse baby and toddler winter boots sizes 4-13 here.

Kamik Snowbug Kids’ Winter Boot

Keep active, outdoorsy children warm and protected in the Snowbug from Kamik. The rubber sole features deep treads for stability, which, combined with the waterproof nylon upper, stops moisture from seeping in (even for the most avid puddle-jumper). This boot is ultra-warm thanks to foam and faux-fur insulation. Plus, a wide mouth with easy-on-and-off elastic hooks and loops makes bundling up much less of a pain every day.

Available in sizes 5-10. Shop the Kamik Snowbug in Baby/Toddler sizing online or in-store at Stan’s Brookfield today.

Baby Bogs II Kids’ Winter Boot

Made for beginning walkers, these 100% waterproof boots from Bogs will start your youngest kiddo off on the right foot. They’re simple to slip on to squirming feet due to easy-grab handles and velcro straps, and they have 3 mm insulation rates them for as low as 14°F. But the best features for messy toddlers? They’re machine washable and DuraFresh biotechnology reduces foot odor.

Available in sizes 5-10. Shop the Baby Bogs in Baby/Toddler sizing online or in-store at Stan’s Brookfield today.

KEEN Howser Chukka Kids’ Winter Boot

Wisconsin winter has nothing on KEEN, one of our favorite outdoorsy brands for kids and adults year-round. These toddler/little kid-sized boots have a waterproof yet breathable membrane with insulation rated to -4°F. For kids able to get themselves ready but not quite to tying their own laces, a bungee cord lace-lock system is the perfect fit. Plus, they’re made of durable materials that aren’t going to weigh down their adventures; lightweight performance nylon uppers made for a long-lasting—but easy-to-move-in—style.

Available in toddler/little kid sizes 10-3. Shop the KEEN Howser Chukka online or in-store at Stan’s Brookfield today.

KEEN Targhee IV Kids’ Winter Boot

Though the Targhee is made to be a hiking boot, don’t let that limit you—this waterproof style is also perfect for winter adventures in the great outdoors. Its multi-directional lugged outsole creates superior grip on wet surfaces, from slush to snow to ice, while still being flexible due to lightweight but durable rubber. Keen’s “Original Fit” construction is also perfect for growing feet, since a generous forefoot leaves room for toes to splay.

Available in kids’ sizes 1-7. Shop the KEEN Targhee for kids online or in-store at Stan’s Brookfield today.

Bogs Classic Kids’ Winter Boot

Much like the baby Bogs above, the Classic Kids’s Bogs winter boot is made to provide reliable protection in the easiest way possible. It’s a mid-calf boot that’s still easy to slip on, and its height matched with 100% waterproof insulation keeps feet dry. This shoe is also beneficial to children’s long-term healthy foot development thanks to its flexible outsole, while the heel provides stability and traction.

Available in kids’ sizes 11-7. Shop the Bogs Classic winter boot for kids online or in-store at Stan’s Brookfield today.

Kamik Snowfall Kids’ Winter Boot

The lowest temperature rated boot on this list, the Kamik Snowfall will keep growing feet comfortable down to -40°F. However, this is adjustable based on need; the felt liner and frost plate are both removable, so these boots can be customized to the amount of warmth needed. These boots are especially good for wearing after dark, since reflective NiteRays patches increase visibility. And, like many of our top picks, this style is waterproof with high traction.

Available in kids’ sizes 1-6. Shop the Kamik Snowfall winter boot for kids online or in-store at Stan’s Brookfield today.
