It may seem like it's either raining, or snowing, or a combination of both most days but you don't want to keep your son in wellies all winter long if you can avoid it. As great as wellies are for splashing around and having fun they are not necessarily designed for your children to be wearing all day as they don't necessarily provide the same level of warmth, comfort and support that a boys boot would provide. So if you want to provide that level of cosiness for your son and keep his feet dry then a waterproof boys boot is a great option.

The Ricosta Jaro uses Sympatex to provide a waterproof lining to help to ensure that this boys boot will keep your son's feet dry. Sympatex is a water and wind resistant membrane between the boots upper and leather lining and Sympatex is also a breathable membrane that allows moisture vapour, produced by your son's hot and sweaty feet, to escape without letting any of the outside elements in.

The Ricosta Jaro waterproof boots are also a great year round boot that any boy will love to wear. The Ricosta Jaro is made with a Nubuck leather upper and has the added security of a reinforced toe. This Ricosta waterproof boot is fully leather lined, which incorporates the Sympatex waterproof lining, and also has the added benefit of a Ricosta Vildona drysole to help keep your son's feet comfortable. The quickly drying Vildona drysole Insoles can be removed and dried on a heater. They have the ability to absorb moisture produced during the day and release it again at night, which has the benefit of no more smelly shoes. The Ricosta Jaro waterproof boys boot has robust, lightweight PU sole that is flexible, shock absorbing and provides excellent insulation. To ensure the best fit possible around the foot the Ricosta Jaro has two fully adjustable Velcro fastening straps.

As an alternative to the Sympatex waterproof technology of Ricosta we also have boys Gore-Tex® boots.

Leaders in the waterproofing industry GORE-TEX® have teamed up with Austrian children's footwear specialists Superfit to produce the Superfit Fynn boys waterproof boot. These boots contain Gore-Tex® lining product technology which is designed to provide optimal climate comfort. Not only does the Gore-Tex® membrane protect the wearer from the rain but they also keep feet dry by allowing vapour, created by the moisture from hardworking perspiring feet, to escape.

This Superfit Boys Fynn Gore-Tex® winter boot is produced with a full leather upper. Inside this boys waterproof boot there is a warm fleece fabric lining with a removable fleece footbed that can be taken out and aired overnight if necessary. The Superfit Fynn boys boot has traditional lace fastening to ensure the best and most secure fit around the foot, but comes with the added advantage of a side zip fastening for ease in getting the boot on and off. The Superfit Fynn Gore-Tex® boys boot looks set for winter action with an excellent rubber sole with a thick chunky tread that is formed over the toe and heel for added protection.

Ricosta Jaro waterproof boys boot is available in grey in sizes EU25 to EU32 and Superfit Fynn waterproof boys boot is available in stone grey in sizes EU35 to EU38.
