RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter Kids' Barefoot Insulated Wellies Khaki

Insulated kids' barefoot wellies with a fleece drawstring collar and full-height lining. Zero drop and room for your child's toes to grow.

RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter are the winter version of the Monsoon Cover wellies. They have the same cut and sole, plus a fleece drawstring collar and fleece lining running the full height of the boot. The collar cinches around your child's calf, so snow does not get in while they play in a snowdrift.

The lightweight, flexible construction supports natural foot movement, and the anatomical shape leaves room for toes to spread and grow. Khaki is a dark olive, the collar is almost the same shade, and mud does not show at first glance. They suit nursery, the playground and the woods, winter puddles and snow.

Size chart

How to choose the right size

Measure your child's foot and add 9 to 12 mm of growing room. For winter boots we recommend going towards the upper end, as thicker socks are worn and you cannot add your own wool insole here.

We measured the dimensions below ourselves on the actual boot. They are not converted from the manufacturer's chart.

Material

Durable materials for bad weather that keep little feet dry and warm.

• upper: PER-lite synthetic rubber, fleece drawstring collar
• lining: fleece over the full height of the boot
• sole: PER-lite rubber
• insole: sewn in, not removable

How to care for the shoes

• always brush off coarse dirt first
• wipe the boots with a damp cloth
• do not machine wash them or dry them directly on heat sources, as the sewn-in fleece insole dries slowly and overheated rubber warps
• with proper care barefoot shoes will last a long time

What might you want to know about RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter?

1. Are they warm enough for January?
   For a typical Czech January, yes. Not for standing outside all day in frost, as they are fleece-lined rubber wellies, not winter boots with a membrane. For the walk to nursery, building a snowman and splashing in puddles after an afternoon thaw, they are just right.
2. Do they really keep snow and water out from above?
   Yes, the collar cinches around the calf with a drawstring and seals. When it is warmer, it can be folded over the top of the boot, making the welly a little lower.
3. Can the insole be removed and dried separately?
   No. Unlike the non-insulated Monsoon Cover range, the insole here is sewn to the bottom. The boots dry as a whole, stood next to a radiator, not on it.
4. Are they suitable for wider feet?
   Yes. In size 28 the internal width is 80 mm, which fits a child's foot with a terry sock and still leaves toes room to spread.
5. How do I choose the right winter size?
   Measure your child's foot in the evening, when it is largest, and add 9 to 12 mm. We do not recommend more than 15 mm, as a foot that slides around in a welly can rub the heel.
6. Can they be washed in the washing machine?
   No. The rubber would survive, but the sewn-in fleece insole gets soaked in the drum and then takes several days to dry.
