Tingley StormTracks 1168 Toddler Rain Boot, Size 7, Blue/Teal

It's hard to find nice, youthful boots for my son with a little color or fun factor, even though he's only 7 1/2. Nothing cute comes in his size anymore, but I don't want something workmanlike and adult looking. The other issue is finding a pair of rain boots that holds up to the wear and tear of a very active boots. It seems that most brands crack at the seam sooner or later. These looked better online than in person--the color is sort of darker and more blah and the material more rubbery feeling (more pliable than the thick vinyl we're used to from his old kiddish style boots) and it does have that odd smell that other reviewers mentioned. Not a bad smell, per se, vaguely sweet, but not exactly delicious. Anyway, I figured I would leave it up to my son whether he liked the boots and wanted to keep them, and when he saw them, he was happy with them. I hope they hold up. Will update if they don't.

These run large. The green soled boots are Walmart brand size 5 that my son has outgrown, the white soled are the new Stormtracks size 6. Quite a bit of size difference--but also better quality than the green. Note these also have a toe-off knob at the heel for easy removal. I'm keeping the size 6 for a few reasons: he can double up socks this winter, I can wear them, and they'll still fit him in 6 months. That said, I recommend buying a size small--I may still get a size 5 for a better fit.

They are nice looking & seem like a good quality. I m confused on the size though ordered a size 6 men's & it is similar to a size 4 boys. I will be giving them to someone else whose foot is smaller. I didn't see the size listed on the bag or boots. I m not sure I recieved the right size

These are overall nice boots for the price. I bought them for my son which wears a size 6 1/2 youth boys. After reading other reviews that said to size down I bought a 5 and they fit almost perfect. These boots are more like adult women sizes so keep that in mind when ordering your size. As for the quality, they have held up to my son wearing them almost daily and no leaks yet

I bought these for my 8 year old son. They feel like really good quality rubber. They are pretty light, in spite of being thick. I tried them on and they were really comfortable. I'm not sure how warm they will be. They're not lined or insulated. But, I suppose with some thick warm/wool socks, they'll probably do well.

Last fall I bought a pair of these (size 6) for my granddaughter and they've been perfect in every way. Very sturdy, nice fit. So now that she's outgrown them and her rapidly growing little toes are smashing against the front, I went ahead and bought the next size up (7). As soon as I got them out of the package I thought they looked like the exact same size as the 6s. When I held the soles perfectly together they WERE the same size; exactly the same size even though the stamped size number on the boot is 7! So I returned them and ordered 8s. I hope the 8s aren't way too big. We'll see.Summer '14The size 8 was too big but I saved them for later because I really like these boots. Unfortunately my son moved his family away so I don't know if I will need them here...we'll see...

I love these rainboots - I finally don't have to hop over puddles when it's raining, they're perfect! Some of the other reviewers mentioned that these run a little large, and I would agree - try to buy a half size or possibly full size smaller, depending on the socks you would be planning to wear. I'm just barely a size 5 in women's, and usually fit 3 in kids, so I ordered these in a 3 and they were a little large. Nothing an extra pair of thick socks can't fix, but I would probably buy a size 2 if I bought them again.

Love these boots however i ordered a size 3 and my son is 8 years old and a 2 1/2 in sneakers and thought they would fit him a bit big but not so much... they were way to big. They fit me anf im a size 4 in girls sneakers or a 5 1/2 in woman shoes. I Will keep them for myself and reorder them in a 2 for him or maybe a 1.
