The greatest women's winter boots are not just comfortable; they are also sturdy, slip-resistant, and useful in a variety of environments. Even when the temperature drops below zero and sleet pours down from the sky, they will keep your feet warm and dry!
Warmth
Quality boots will have a temperature rating that signifies the approximate lowest air temperature at which the boot insulation will keep feet comfortable. Your ideal temperature rating will depend on the climate in your area, the level of activity you can expect from your child, etc. A wet, snowy northeast winter will require a much different temperature rating compared to a mild, southern climate. Keep in mind, temperature ratings are only a guide, and can be affected by many conditions, including weather, wearer’s activity level, metabolism, perspiration, circulation, exposure time, type of sock worn, and cold sensitivity.
Traction
In the winter, slippery conditions are common. Children who are active in these circumstances run the risk of falling and becoming hurt. Make careful you pick a boot that has excellent grip without being overly bulky or hefty. After all, if your child can't move about without tripping over bulky boots, the level of traction won't matter! On icy and damp conditions, boots with Merrell M Select® grip offer outstanding traction, so we strongly advise them.
Ease of use
To put shoes on a toddler can be like wrangling an irate octopus, as anyone who has ever attempted to do so can attest to. Imagine now trying to put boots on an octopus who is already irritated at being trapped indoors while wearing cold-weather clothing. It's the stuff of nightmares, as any caretaker will attest. As a result of hearing our pleas for assistance, shoe manufacturers like Merrell now provide substitute closures that still provide a fantastic fit without the struggle. On some boots, we enjoy the medial zipper.
Waterproof
If you go to the office during winter, winter work boots, or extreme-cold boots are necessary as they are heavily insulated to keep your feet warm for long periods, it’s also important that your boots stay dry during such weather so it’s important to invest in water-resistant and best waterproof winter boots. Your winter boot is made to keep snow and ice out while also providing warmth. No matter what you do or where you reside, waterproof footwear is essential in the winter. When it comes to active kids who prefer to look for snowdrifts to explore and huge puddles to trample, "water-resistant" just doesn't cut it. 
Breathability
While keeping moisture out of the boot is crucial, it's also crucial to allow moisture to escape. Kids who are active can sweat a lot, and if the moisture can't evaporate, it can rapidly turn cold, resulting in frozen toes. Additionally, this may result in the growth of odor-causing bacteria inside the boot, which might make footwear smell bad after just a few uses. To keep kids comfortable and footwear smelling fresh, look for boots with breathable linings and anti-bacterial characteristics.
Versatility
This will largely rely on how you want to wear the boots. Will your children wear them all day while they attend school, run errands, and take a trail walk in the evening? If so, you should pick a pair of boots that are cozy, similar to sneakers, and can be used in a variety of settings all day long. A customized boot with increased grip and a lower temperature rating is necessary if you're seeking footwear only for outdoor activities in really cold weather.
