- Is the Sorel Whitney III Mid WP fully waterproof?
- Yes. The nylon and leather upper is sealed waterproof, and the boot is designed to keep feet dry in slush and wet snow. Water can still enter over the top in deep drifts.
- How does it compare with taller Sorel kids' boots?
- It is lighter and easier to walk in than full-height snow boots, but it covers less of the leg. Choose a taller boot for deep snow and this one for everyday school and street wear.
- Does it run true to size?
- Many owners say it runs small, especially for kids with wide feet. Try it on or size up half a size if your child is between sizes.
- Is it warm enough for very cold winters?
- The microfiber lining handles typical winter days, but it is not an insulated pac boot. In deep cold, pair it with warm socks or choose a heavier insulated style.
- What is the boot made of?
- A waterproof nylon and leather upper, a microfiber lining, a textile insole and a rubber outsole. It fastens with laces.
- Can kids put it on by themselves?
- Older kids can, but the laces are fiddly for younger children. Expect to help with tying, especially in the first weeks.
