10 Best Snow Boots for Kids UK 2024 | Merrell, Sorel and More

Sorel are the experts in winter wear and they've masterfully used these expertise to create snow boots that work brilliantly for kids. The upper material, which is flexible but with just the right amount of structure, is made completely waterproof with its sealed seams. 

The rubber sole does everything it needs to, but it is incorporated into the design in a way that doesn't make it look, or feel, too heavy. Two cosy materials are brought together – the felt inner and the synthetic fur lining – to provide maximum insulation and stop draughts. An all-round brilliant boot that will get your child from A to B and beyond in the snow. 

A Sherpa fleece lining and extremely grippy sole make these snow boots an excellent winter purchase. If there's a snowy day and you want to make sure your child can get around safely, these boots will do just that. The sole is thick, which adds height. This is important because it keeps your kid's feet out of the snow and the cold. 

Once all the practical features have been taken into account, it's also fair to say that these boots just look really, really good. The colour blocking will contrast beautifully with the white snow and the synthetic fur lining completes the look. 

An enormous range of sizes at an extremely affordable price – what more could you want from a pair of snow boots? The drawstring fastening is something that kids of all ages can get to grips with and the black colour is one that will go with everything. 

The colour also makes these a good option if your child is having to use them to go to school. To make sure the hard-wearing sole won't slip, there is a thick tread with texture to add even more grip.

With elastic laces running all the way up these snow boots and a toggle to adjust them, they will be perfectly held in place. The use of leather is rare in snow boots for kids, but it gives them a timelessly stylish finish and the muted colour scheme only adds to this. 

There's no need to worry about your child's feet staying warm in even the most extreme of circumstances; these boots have been tested and have been proven to keep feet warm in temperatures as low as -25°C! 

The huge size range of these boots means that a large proportion of children will be able to enjoy the many advantages of these practical snow boots. The Velcro fastening can be done up quickly, meaning no snow time has to be wasted. 

The support of the Velcro is enhanced by the drawstring elastic on the cuff. The solid rubber of the sole is extremely grippy and covers most of the foot, keeping little ones dry for all the time they could want to spend in the snow. 

These boots look a bit different to others on this list and this makes them a great choice if your child likes walking. They are very structured and supportive, with curved soles that follow the roll of your child's foot as they walk. 

The laces are designed to be easy to do up with the help of a toggle and the fur lining adds insulation that you wouldn't find in normal walking boots. These boots are slightly let down by their lack of sizes, which stop at a 2, and despite being waterproof their low ankle could cause problems in deep snow. 

The sight of snow, with all the fun possibilities, is something that is bound to get kids excited. So they can stay outside for as long as they like without getting cold and wet, stick these boots on them and you'll have no complaints. They are very easy to slide on and the rubber exterior will last year after year. 

The downside to the rubber material is that it's not as flexible as other snow boots and children might find this uncomfortable. The lack of fastening means young hands won't struggle to put them on, but it does mean that they are more likely to fall off.

If your child likes to move and play, these flexible snow boots are a great option. They have three elastic bands running through a soft outer material which will hold the boot in place on your kid's leg. This is paired with a light rubber sole, so they can bounce along without feeling weighed down. 

Although the elastic bands do offer some stretch, they don't give the adjustability that other closure methods like Velcro and laces provide. These shoes are light and sporty, but they are lacking a cosy lining made from fur or fleece.

These little boots are a great option for young children who have just started walking and want to explore the snow. They go all the way down to a 3.5, a size suitable for kids as young as one. The holes on the side make them easy for small fingers to slip on and the big strip of Velcro allows you some size adjustment.

These boots work very well for toddlers, but the sizes stop at a 7.5 infant, which is still very small. The rubber sole is solid – just what you need – but the single Velcro strap might not be enough to tighten it to fit your child's feet. 

For an older, adventurous child, these boots are a great option. They're black, which means they will go with any outfit, and the two Velcro strips give your youngster control over how tight they want their boots to be without the difficulty laces can bring.

These might be designed for kids, but even for them the size range isn't huge, stopping at a 3. They're also designed specifically for boys, which might also limit who can use them. The furry lining isn't as soft and cosy as other brands, making them slightly less cushioned for your child's feet.
