Lone Cone Elementary Collection - Premium Natural Rubber Rain Boots with Matte Finish for Toddlers and Kids

initially got these for my sons fire man Halloween costume however, these actually ended up being used daily most of the time just because my son loves them so much. It's been 6 months and they are still in perfect condition (i order a size bigger for rain boots just because the it's cold we use thick socks). I'm certain when we need a bigger size we would feel comfortable repurchasing the same brand.** I reserve the right to update at any time this review if I need to, and I paid full price to purchase this product so there is nothing requiring me to review in anyway this review is purely my own pure opinion on the product I purchased and recieved **PS if you found this review helpful please remember to give it a "thumbs up" so others are able to see just how helpful this review may be if they too rely on the experience of others, thank you! :)

I bought two pairs - size 5 toddler and size 4 big kid. Older wore them to school, let's say for 30 days. Younger wore them for about the same number of times, but not sure. Both pairs fell apart - see photos.Everything else about the boots was fine. Actually, wife says the insoles wouldn't stay in place in the smaller pair.This is different from any other boots I bought on amazon over the years (but a different brand) - we were able to let other kids wear the boots after ours were outgrown.P.S. I could only take pics of the toddler size, as I couldn't find my daughter's "big kid" size pair right now. They are in a worse state as they let these crack happen along the bottom, so they defeat the very purpose of the boots - which is to keep feet dry in rainy weather.

If you are trying to decide between 2 sizes go w the smaller size... I’d say they run 1-2 sizes big. They are made good otherwise & I got them relatively quick.

They work great for my three-year-old son. He loves rocket ships. He loves spaceships. He's a three-year-old boy, so he loves these boots for rainy days, snowy days, and general 'let's play in the dirt' days.These seem to be holding up well so far and the quality seems good. They fit my son nicely and he hasn't had any complaints about them fitting uncomfortably.Based on our experience thus far, I would definitely recommend these boots.If my review helped to inform you, please let me know below. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

My son has worn these for less than two months and they already have cracks in the rubber and the sole is coming apart. They were inexpensive, sure, but I would have expected them to last through the winter at least. Very disappointing.Update: changing this from one star to three as lonecone customer service was very helpful and immediately sent us a new pair.

Update 6/27/18: after my son wearing these almost daily for 8 months, it’s time to replace them. He typically tears up a pair of shoes in 2 months, so I think these are great. I’m ordering a larger pair right now!Update 2/1/18: we’ve been using this consistently for 4 months and they are still in great shape. Yes, they show wear, but no signs of breakdown. I will keep buying this brand!!These boots are great! The pull handles a a MUST for toddler feet. I have 2 other pairs without handles and they are a horrible hassle to get on him. These are flexible, so he doesn’t have trouble walking too. My son wears a 4 and I got the 5 so he’d be able to wear them longer. I’d recommend these and I will be buying them again in a bigger size.

These boots have been great. They run true to size (I measured my 19 month old daughter's shoes and used the size chart to decide on the 6T size, which fit perfectly) and have held up well over many uses with no noticeable wear and tear. They are easy to get on and off, seem comfortable, and my daughter has loved wearing them (so much that she sometimes wears them even if it's not a rainy day). I ordered the mermaid design which doesn't seem to be available anymore, but all of the designs are very creative and colorful. She was the only one in her daycare class with these boots!

I needed a pair of rain boots for my almost-two-year-old daughter who loves to splash in puddles. This item was one of the first results, and it had a lot of options so I let Baby pick one out. She very much enjoyed looking at all of the different pictures and finally saying "I choose...butterflies!"When the boots came, she was so excited to try them on. She kept saying "So pretty butterflies. Baby likes it." They fit as expected based on the company's size chart (NOT the standard Amazon size chart).The thing I was really impressed with is the build quality. This is a small company making the boots, but they feel very well made, like what you would expect from a large, experienced manufacturer. Both the soles and the uppers are thick rubber, with the soles having very grippy tread.I can tell these boots are going to last for quite a long time--or at least until Baby decides she doesn't like butterflies anymore.
