Rain? Check. Coat? Check. Boots? Check them off the list with these 2024 styles.

Nothing captures the joy of childhood like the instinct to jump and splash in a puddle. Luckily, the right rain boots and waterproof gear make it a lot easier to clean up after their sloppy adventures. Protect your kiddos and keep them dry underneath with the latest high-tech rain gear made for the elements. 

We’ve rounded up some of our favorites from this season’s crop of cute, cozy rain boots that'll have them singin' in the rain while staying dry. We have plenty of adult sizes too, hint, hint, if you ever feel like joining in on the fun.

Our picks for all-weather protection.

When the weather won't stop 'em, gear up the kiddos in rain boots to power through showers and puddles. Best style RTW to consider are a classic rubber rain boot like waterproof kids wellies or a lightweight weather boot, depending on your climate and the play RTW on deck.

If raindrops are falling on their heads, standard rubber rain boots will keep kids' feet dry just fine. Full waterproofing lets them play in puddles and are tall enough to withstand even the most enthusiastic splashing. Many of these styles feature playful pull-on handles, prints and palettes that kids love to wear. They're made extra roomy for easy, independent on and off, but with no laces or buckles, keep in mind you can’t adjust the fit. We recommend ordering true to size, even if you’d typically size up for fast-growing kiddos.

Northerners take note: Standard rubber rain boots don’t provide much warmth, and while they have enough traction for slick wet sidewalks, they aren’t designed for icy surfaces. So if you live in an area where a wintry mix of rain and sleet is common, a light all-weather boot might make more sense.
