Where we live, we’re experiencing a steady onslaught of rain today. When I picked my son up from preschool, he had to trudge through puddles in his sneakers, getting them soaked. He could really have used these rain boots from Kidorable today.

These boots are shaped like a dinosaur’s head, with eyes, mouth, and even teeth, making them fun for toddlers and little kids to wear. Your child won’t mind putting on his boots before going out the door when they look like this. They are made of rubber, with a rubber sole, and have a rounded toe for comfort.

The Kidorable Dinosaur Rain Boots are available in a variety of toddler and little kid shoe sizes at Amazon.com, where they’re currently on sale for $15. After the deluge we got caught in today, I’ll be purchasing a pair for my son right away!

Making plans for a family trip? Start gathering all your snow clothes and gear now.  These Suede Boots by Merrell look like they can keep little feet snug, warm, and dry. They’re water-resistant with Thinsulate™ insulation, wool trim and rubber tread.

Be prepared for the fun and purchase these snow boots for $58.50 at HannaAndersson.com where the boots are available in children’s sizes 4-7.

If you get as excited about finding fun and unique shoes for your girls as I do, you will want to check out these boots from Giesswein.  They are made from boiled wool, which I know from experience is extremely cozy for fall and winter wear.  The sole of the shoe is made from latex.

What makes these Giesswein Princess & Castle boots special, though, is their fun, fantasy-inspired appearance.  From the tops of the boot, which are cut out to resemble a castle, to the beautiful appliqued castle, princess, and flowers,  these shoes are any fairy tale lover’s dream come true.  They are also machine washable, which makes their pale color a little less worrisome.

These boots would make a wonderful holiday gift, too.  You can purchase a pair for $70.95 (with free shipping until October 28) at Nordstrom.com.  They are available in walker, toddler, and little kid sizes.

Here’s a great pair of rainboots that is surprisingly affordable. Made from 100% natural rubber and decorate with pastel lotus flowers, these are sure to be a hit with any little girl. I love the attention to detail in the flowers and on the stylized top. They definitely look like they cost far more than the $25 retail price.

These boots are available in sizes from 5-13. They would be perfect for all kinds of wet weather. You can purchase a pair from duckduckgooseboutique.com. They would also make a practical but fun gift idea.

Made with genuine leather, Pedflex flat rubber soles for traction, zippered sides, and cute to boot, the Pedoodles Outback Boots fit sizes 12-18 months right up to 4 years of age. I’m especially drawn to the attractive colors and the gecko running down the side. I think they’d work on either boys or girls without being limited to either one. I would dress a child in the boots, khakis, and a green shirt with similar hued hat and pack the camera for the hike! The Outback Boots sound comfortable to me, as they’re lined with leopard fur (faux, of course) and designed to be breathable. The price is a do-able, especially for avid hikers and wanderers, $44.99 and the site to find ’em on is babyplanetboutique.com.

When I saw these cute little rain boots, I had a blast from the past. They look just like the ones I had when I was a little girl! My brother and I each had a pair and wore them until they were completely worn out. I ordered a pair for my daughter right away. These durable rubber rain boots are perfect for wet or snowy days. Your child can splash, jump, or run in puddles without you having to worry about squishy shoes and with the custom tread bottoms, you won’t have to worry about slipping. They come in 2 styles: red/blue or black/gray. You can find these at modernseed.com for $36.00.
