Why Snow Boots Just Won’t Cut It: The Case for Rain Boots in Prince George, BC

Rain boots haven’t always been a staple in our shop, but with climate change shifting the seasons and bringing warmer, wetter conditions in March and April, it’s time to face the truth—snow boots just don’t work in puddles like rain boots do. They soak up water, get heavy, and leave little feet cold and uncomfortable. If your child’s feet are getting wet, it might be time to try a rain boot with a wool sock or a warmer sock for extra comfort and warmth.

I've personally tested a variety of boutique rain boots with mixed results, but one brand consistently gets great feedback from the community—Jan & Jul.

While I haven't personally tried them, I've heard amazing things about their Puddle-Dry Rain Boots, designed for little puddle jumpers! Available in sizes 4 to 12, we have a small selection in stock, and you can also order your preferred size and color. The best part? If they don’t fit, you can return them directly to us—making your purchase risk-free.
