Style and design are always the first things that attract children to a pair of boots. More often than not, your kids would go for cowboy boots that carry their favorite cartoon character in its design. However, you should bear in mind that no matter how much your kid wants to have a particular design on his boots, there are other factors to consider in choosing a pair of children’s cowboy boots which are far more important than style and design. The following is a guide to help you choose the best pair of boots for your kids.
The first thing you should consider is durability. Children are always running around and they often do not give much thought to the fact that they could ruin their clothes or shoes with whatever physical activity they are currently indulging in. This is why it is very important to buy boots that are made of durable material. A good pair of boots is one with reinforced soles that will not come off even when subjected to the most vigorous playtime activities. Durable boots also provide more protection to your children’s feet.
Size is another important factor to consider. Children often experience quick growth spurts, which makes them outgrow their clothes and shoes too quickly. This makes it advisable to buy a pair of boots that are about half a size larger. This way, there is enough room for your child’s feet to grow into the boots. Meanwhile, you can make him wear thick socks to make the new pair of boots fit more snugly. This will also help you save on money you would otherwise spend when you keep buying new boots.
It is also best to choose children’s cowboy boots that are made from water-resistant material. While suede boots may look very nice, they can easily get ruined when they get soaked. And because children certainly love splashing on puddles of water, it is a lot more practical to buy boots that are made from either rubber or vinyl. This consideration is especially important if you live in an area that is mostly rainy, or if the rainy season is right around the corner.
Your child will refuse to wear any pair of boots that he is not comfortable with, so make sure that the boots you buy are comfortable both inside and out. The pair you choose must have a lining that keeps your child’s feet comfortably warm even during cold weather and keeps the boot itself well-insulated at all times. Let your child try the boots on and walk around in them to see if he can walk comfortably while wearing it.
Children don’t pay attention to the things that they step on whenever they are at play and their playtime often ends in getting them really dirty. This holds true for their boots as well, which is why it is also very important to look for washable boots. Fortunately, most water-proof materials like rubber and vinyl are also very easy to clean with soap and water.
Of course, style is still a major consideration, although it comes last on the list. After all, you wouldn’t want your child to become the butt of jokes just because he is wearing an ugly pair of boots. There is a wide variety of boots available in the market and you are sure to find one that effectively combines all the necessary qualities of a good pair of children’s cowboy boots.
