10 Best Kids' Snow Boots of 2023

Parenting in the winter takes on an extra layer of complexity. Whether kids are playing in the snow or commuting to school, moms and dads try their best to bundle them up in coats, hats and snow boots that will keep them warm and dry until they come in for their hot chocolate. 

With so many options, it can be hard to figure out what's best. We’ve made it easy and narrowed it down for you. Take a look at the best kids’ snow boots of 2025 to find the right pair for your little ones.

The North Face Youth Alpenglow IV

The Alpenglow IV is lightweight and flexible, making it as ideal for building snow forts as it is for running up your sledding hill. It's waterproof and has a toggle at the top, so the boot can be secured around the leg to keep the snow out. The removable liner keeps tiny feet warm in temperatures as low as -25 °F. Though it's a bit more expensive than some other children's snow boots, the high customer rating and thoughtful features make it a great choice, particularly in areas that experience cold winters with lots of snowfall. 

Bogs Slushie

Technically an insulated rain boot, these are rated for temperatures as low as -4 °F, but they are completely waterproof. At nine inches tall, they are one of the taller boots available, and the Max-Wick interior moves sweat away from your foot to help you stay dry from the inside as well as the outside. DuraFresh technology helps prevent odors. A good choice for mild winters that see more slush than snow, these boots will carry your kids through a wet spring as well. 

UGG Kids' Butte II CWR

Completely waterproof and lined with wool, this warm snow boot features a gusseted tongue and polyester laces—ideal for older kids who don't need help getting them on and off. A comfortable foam foot bed and durable sole make it great for walking on a cold, dry day or for trudging through heavy snow. 

Kamik Rocket

Easy-on with a toggle at the top, the Rocket is waterproof with a moisture-wicking lining. The rubber sole offers superior traction in the snow. As a Canadian company, Kamik knows a thing or two about winter. The Rocket will protect your child's feet in temperatures as low as -40 °F. It's also a vegan-friendly choice, and the liner is made of 97 percent recycled material.

Northside Frosty

Lined with 200g Thinsulate and rated down to -25 °F, the Frosty has a waterproof shell and a water-resistant nylon upper, a hook-and-loop strap at the ankle, and a bungee toggle at the collar. The cushioned insole is removable and washable. 

Stonz Trek

The Stonz Trek keeps feet warm in temperatures that drop to -58 °F, making it the coldest temperature-rated boot on this list. It's windproof and water-resistant, with an adjustable elastic toggle at the top to seal against the snow and three adjustable closures to ensure the best fit for your child. Aside from the extreme cold-weather protection, what sets this boot apart is that it's lightweight with superior skid resistance (two times the industry standard) and sole abrasion (19 times the industry standard). While they may not be the perfect boot for someone who will get wet in the deep snow, they're great for cold weather, less snow and lots of outdoor play on slippery surfaces. 

Columbia Powderbug Plus II

A slip-on boot with a toggle at the top, the Powderbug Plus II is waterproof and rated for temperatures dropping as low as -25 °F. The inner felt liner is washable, so feet stay fresh all winter long. 

L.L. Bean Northwoods

A hook-and loop-closure at the ankle makes these boots easy for kids to take on and off.  There's also a toggle at the top for extra security against the snow. While the rubber bottom is waterproof, the rest of it is merely water-resistant nylon, which may make the Northwoods a better choice in areas that receive less snow. It comes with two liners, so you can remove one to dry and replace it with the other.

Keen Hoodoo

This lace-up youth boot has a padded tongue and collar. Children's sizes are available in a hook-and-loop closure. It's insulated to combat the cold down to -25 °F. The proprietary KEEN.DRY technology is breathable but waterproof, while KEEN.WARM technology provides lightweight, anti-microbial insulation via charcoal bamboo. 

Lands’ End Kids’ Expedition

The Kids’ Expedition features bungee and cord-lock laces with a side zipper to make the on-and-off process easier. It has a cushioned waterproof sole, Sherpa fleece lining for warmth and a water-resistant suede/textile shaft. If your child spends most of the winter playing in the snow, this is probably not the ideal boot. However, it offers a sleek, stylish look for the fashion-forward child who needs to walk through the snow to get to school and other activities.
