Hunter Kids Wellies Review

I had no idea that Hunter Wellies were available for children in such a wide range of colours. Before we tried out these original kid's Hunter Wellies I had known about the brand but didn't really know what all the fuss was about.



Simply Hike sent Lara a pair of shocking fuschia pink Hunter Wellies to try out and now I understand what all the fuss was about! These original Hunter Wellies for kids are available in gloss and matt colours, some bright, some dark but all fab! They come in children's size 7 through to adult's size 5.



The boots have a shaped sole so they aren't totally flat across the bottom. There is a proper raised heel which makes them really smart and really comfy. These are the welly of choice for royalty, after all!

I really like the buckle on the outside of each boot. I don't think they offer any adjustability on the kids boots but they do help Lara to know which boot is for which foot! There are two reflective patches on the back of each boot which makes them perfect for this time of year as they add that little bit of safety when out and about in the dark.

The Hunter kids boots are a nice high boot to stop puddles and leaves getting in and they are gorgeously tailored. The inside of the rubber boot is a nylon kit which stays nice and dry.

The hefty price tag (£35) for a pair of Hunter wellies is certainly worth it once your child's feet start slowing down their growth as these are a really great quality pair of boots that look fabulous. As you can see, they are a bit of a fashion statement as well as being totally practical.

Crocs Girls Hello Kitty Boots Review

Crocs hello kitty jaunt boots

I KNEW that a pair of Hello Kitty Crocs™ boots would go down a storm with Lara. It feels weird to sit here at thirty-something years old knowing that I was just as fascinated by Hello Kitty as a child as she is!

Lara has tried to insist that she wears her new wellies on every occasion that we leave the house. In the garden, to the park, in the supermarket. Whether it is rainy, snowy or sunny Lara is in love with her Crocs™. And I don't blame her - I quite fancy a pair myself! The most remarkable thing about the boots is the reaction they get from other mums; I suspect I am not the only mum who fancies a pair of Hello Kitty boots judging by the number of envious comments I get from mums in the park!

Lara's boots are part of the latest range of boots for girls and boys by Crocs™. They are Crocs™ Crocband™ Hello Kitty Jaunt Boots which are also available in yellow and red.

The boots are really light weight and made from a similar material as traditional Crocs™ clogs. Because they are so light, I don't really have a problem with Lara wearing them even when it's not rainy.

The boots have a big hole on both sides that allow Lara to pull her boots on all by herself. They also have three of the traditional little Crocs™ holes into which you can put Jibbitz shoe charms - I'm sure that slightly older girls would absolutely LOVE this, but I think they're a little bit small and fiddly for a 2 year old.

The Crocs™ Crocband™ Hello Kitty Jaunt boots cost around £29.99 and are available in children's size 6 upwards.
