- Warmth & insulation
Obviously, the number-one criterion is warmth. The selection of winter boots at Billie le Kid meets this quality, so sought-after by parents. The brand Olang brand, designed in the Italian Alps, offers a range of boots resistant to temperatures down to -30 degrees Celsius, making them the perfect accessory for Quebec winters. The boots Moon Boot boots also combine water-repellent materials with soft linings to offer unrivalled warmth against the elements. Lhe Canadian brand Sorel brand is renowned for the design of its boots. that ensure insulation thanks to a 2.5 mm bonded felt midsole. So kids can have fun in the snow without worrying about frozen toes.
- Waterproofing
When buying boots, it's also important to make sure that the materials used in their manufacture are waterproof, such as nylon, Goretex or other water-resistant synthetic materials.. What's more, seams should always be sealed to prevent water penetration. The Sorel brand offers the Yoot Pac model, whose waterproof nylon uppers, sealed seams and cozy insulation make it one of the most popular boots available from Billie le kid. An advantage to consider for the Yoot Pac is the fact that the lining is removable and washable, allowing parents to take them off to dry after a long day playing outside. The models Ape and Bingo (Olang) are equipped with a waterproof base that prevents water from seeping into the boot.
- Easy to put on
From the age of two or three, children are gradually guided in their quest for independence. Being able to put on their own boots or shoes will give them a sense of pride and boost their self-confidence. Both the Yoot Pac (offered by Sorel) and the Ape and Bingo (Olang) make this kind of learning possible: the design of these wide-opening models makes them easy to set up quickly, as well as facilitating multiple comings and goings between the house and the outdoors during the winter. The boot Yoot Pac boot can be tightened with drawstrings with a plastic tip. No need to lace up cords, just tighten them with the end cap! The Ape boot uses the same principle, while the Bingo boot features an easy-to-use zipper. The model Moon Boot model can be tightened with an elastic strap on the top of the boot, providing a secure fit for toddlers' first steps. The boot's lightness also makes it easy to put on, especially for younger children.
