Waterproof boots for walking 11m old

Any recommendations? Preferably something that fastens?

Bought him some lovely wee Wellie boots and can’t get them onto his feet so they’ll be going back 🙈

Look at Bogs. They're really good. Velcro at the back so easier to get on their feet too.

Don't waste your money, they are barely going to walk anywhere outdoors at that age.

I bought shoes for ds1 around that age and shouldn't have bothered as he hated shoes until around 18m. Also they're too slow to actually walk anywhere. If you must get shoes get something lightweight and use a waterproofing treatment

@NuffSaidSam Thanks! I’ll have a look at those 😊 sounds much easier than wellies 🙈

@User0ne He’s been confidently walking outdoors for about 6 weeks. Has a pair of lightweight first walkers that he loves. I don’t drive and we use the carrier etc a lot but he now asks to get down. I don’t mind walking slowly for a while to give him time to explore 👍🏻

I used playshoes for a while at that stage. They come quite far up the calf and go over normal shoes easily with a velcro strap to hold them on.

These are the best boots! Toasty warm and they can be chucked in the washing machine 👍🏻

Yep Bogs. They are barefoot boots so are easy to walk in.

Yes, definitely Bogs. Early walkers shouldn't be wearing normal wellies because the soles are too rigid.

@teaandbiscuitsforme @Jsgdud @Ihaveoflate Thanks all for the Bogs recommendation 😊 FTM fail with the wellies 🤣 should have done more research before just buying what looked cute in the shop! The wellies have been returned and the Bogs are on their way 👍🏻😊

Whatever you do, buy them second or third hand on eBay. Noone has these thinga for long. We used plastic bags with socks over the top.
