OAKI Kids Waterproof Rubber Rain Boots with Easy-On Handles

First off I want to say my almost four year old son loves these boots. They fit great, are comfortable and he has no trouble taking them on and off by himself. They also aren't clunky and don't slow him down in the least. I will be honest and say my son is very hard on shoes and thus I didn't expect to get more than one season out of any boots. Most shoes last about 4-6 months as he finds a favorite pair and lives in them. That being said we only got 3 weeks out of these boots. I can handle the scuffs and worn look (totally our fault) but they are already cracking at the seams and will not keep his feet dry. I had hoped these would get us through the spring rainy season but I am already going to have to find something else. These are great for occasional use but not serious daily wear. It's really sad because he really loved these boots.

I bought two pair of Oakiwear boots for my twins 3rd birthday. I will say that my boys are hard on shoes and we live on a farm so we might give them more work than the average child. However, I expect them to last more than 2 months before they're useless. I reached out regarding the other pair and they replaced them for me but also charged my account. So I paid for 3 pairs and received 3 pairs. All of them cracked in less than 2 months. I wish I had never spent money on this brand. I'll stick with Kamik next time.

Cute print pattern/color, horrible material quality. Purchased in late August 2017, had to replace with new rainboots by November 2017. I couldn't understand why my 3-year old was coming home from preschool with wet socks until I inspected her required school rainboots for outside play. Rubber material is cracking on the shaft, even where rubber material is doubled up on the back seam the material cracked. I understand products have a lifecycle but this is unacceptable. I regularly buy new rainboots every 6 months as feet grow, not because the product didn't perform. This was the first. First time purchasing from this brand, will not do it again.

Runs big. Soles are pretty stiff, not very flexible at all. I don’t understand how shoe designers forget that our human feet naturally bend when we walk... Cute pattern and colors. Photo is for size comparison of the size 4 Toddler boot next to a size 5/6 Speedo brand water shoe (which are a little big on my daughter)! Keeping them cuz they’re cute and will probably fit my daughter in a few months or so, but dissapointed because I bought them to fit her now, in her current size 4, and they don’t seem to sell any smaller size than that.Update 2020: These actually ended up being my daughter’s favorite rain boot (she also had a pair of crocs). So once she outgrew these I bought this same style in the next size up because she liked them so much. I plan to buy another pair again in the next size up because she will soon outgrown those as well. I’m keeping my rating at 3 stars though because one pair started to tear in some areas causing her socks and feet to get wet, and now I can’t hand them down to her younger sister. They ended up in the garbage. BUT they did last a while and she wore them a lot. They lasted her two rainy seasons (fall and spring). They are also super easy for her to get on and off. Also they may have fixed the size issue because she’s now in a size 6/7 in most other shoes and she’s just now outgrowing the size 5 of these rain boots.

UPDATE: we have had these less than a year and my daughter hasn't worn them a ton but the lining is already pulling away from the boot. I'm not happy about it and I hope that some shoe goo will do the trick to fix but I don't think this should have happened!We have had these for about a week. They are a little heavy and my daughter had to get use to wearing them but she loves them! She's 2 and can pull them on herself. She's usually a 6. I bought a 7 for extra room and ease of getting on. They are big so I believe they run true to size.The color and patten is such a great alternative for girls!!! Nice to have other options than pink and hearts!!!

I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed in this company. My son goes to a Nature Preschool and we've bought several of Oakiwear's products including their one piece rain suits. The suits lining started to fall apart making it no longer waterproof. I contacted CS and they said there was nothing they could do because they had no record of me purchasing it (I bought it at a local hardware store). So I was hesitant to buy these boots when my son outgrew his Hatley rain boots(which he's worn for 2 years, and we'd bought secondhand). But they were on sale, so I thought I'd try them out. Within a week of him wearing these the lining started to separate from the rubber outer part of the boot near the top. It's way too early for these to be falling apart. Save your money and buy Hatley or Bogg boots, they'll last much longer.

Bought these for my 19 month old. She's really small and has TINY feet for her age so I was happy to find a size 4 in rainboots because I have looked everywhere for something smaller than a 5. These arrived yesterday just in time for the rainy days this week and we got them on and ready to go splash in some puddles. They do run rather large in my opinion. For reference she wears a size 4 in Carters and Stride Rite shoes with a small amount of room in the toe. I compared these to a pair of Carters boots size 4.5 that I bought her and these were larger by a half size. So you may want to size down with these.The quality is nice and I expect them to hold up well through the season. They are a little heavy but some brands are even heavier. My daughter loves them and walked well in them.

these boots are beautiful. Perfect fit. Vibrant colors
