Before you know it kids will be on winter holiday break and begging to play outside. If you happen to be blessed with a white Christmas wherever you live than you definitely want to make sure their tootsies are kept warm and dry while they are building their monstrous size snowman and sledding down the hillside. Right now things might look a little green, but here in New York that can change in an instant. Last year we had green grass for weeks and woke up to nearly three feet of snow the next day!
KEEN offers quality built winter boots to specifically protect kid’s feet in waterproof warmth that will keep them in cozy comfort during all their snowy outdoor adventures. Two great styles available at KEEN ready to be shipped directly to your front door include:
KALAMAZOO HIGH BOOT WP- $75

I had the choice between the two different styles and I selected the Basin Waterproof Boot in the black and yellow color combination for my son. There are several features I love about this boot! First of all the complete construction and quality of the boot is amazing. The boot features a thick rubber bumper for extra added protection during outside play and is extremely stylish. Unlike the usual cold weather bulky boot, the Basin is easy to play in and my son won’t experience any problems walking, running, or jumping while wearing these boots. The midsoles are cushioning for ultimate shock absorption, so playing hard for long periods isn’t an ouchie problem. Also, I absolutely adore the bungee cinch system, since it allows my son who doesn’t have tying his shoes perfected yet to be able to put his own boots on with ease. It ends the screaming and crying to get outside in a hurry and the boots slip on fast without difficulty. Plus, the system helps seal the snow out and creates a secure fit, eliminating the fretting about laces becoming untied and causing a dangerous trip. Another awesome element is the winter boots have big lugs to enhance traction on icy, snowy surfaces.
The weather has not been snowy or cold enough thus far for my son to play in his new Basin boots, but he has tried them on and loves them. Overall, these boots are just what to expect from KEEN—quality for the price and built tough for hours of comfortable and dry winter adventures!

I really need something like this. It would be nice not to have to shovel snow in my sneakers this winter!
Thanks for sharing this product and your thoughts! It is the first time I’ve seen it and it looks so well constructed from the photos and even from what you said. I will keep this in mind next time I’m in the market for boots!
Love the look of those boots! But most of all – amazing construction and quality? Just what people need for wet weather.
It’s snowing where I live right now and I could really use a pair of those Basin boots, particularly the tan Basin boots. It’s wet snow too so the waterproof leather would really help to keep my feet dry!
What a nice pair of boots! It is amazing to me how expensive boots can be, but these seem to be worth the money. I love a good warm pair of boots.
My feet freeze in the winter. I need to go check them out further.
I want some!!
I love those boots, there is something for everyone.
My kids would love these. They could stay out and play a lot longer.
These are some nice looking boots. I really need a new pair this winter, so this was nice to see – I will have to check them out!
Living in Colorado, these would be handy to have. Thanks for the info on them 🙂
