Are these boots actually waterproof?

Yes. The leather upper is seam-sealed and the line is built as a waterproof boot, so it handles rain and wet ground.

How do they fit compared with sneakers?

They run roomy and bulky. Many parents size down or stick to their child's normal size and wear thicker socks.

Yes. The leather starts stiff and softens after several wears, so short outings first help.

They keep feet dry and block wind, but they are not insulated, so very cold days need warm socks.

Same silhouette and waterproof build, scaled down for grade-school feet with a lighter sole unit.

One pair of boots with the laces already fitted. No extra insoles or care kit are included.
