RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter Kids' Barefoot Insulated Wellies Burgundy

Insulated barefoot wellies with a fleece lining and drawstring collar that keeps snow out. Zero drop and room for your child's toes to grow.

RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter is the winter version of the Monsoon Cover wellies. It has the same cut and sole, plus a fleece collar with a drawstring and a fleece lining over the full height of the boot. The collar tightens around your child's calf, so snow stays out when 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. The burgundy leans towards raspberry, so your child stands out on a grey November pavement. They suit nursery, the playground and the woods, winter puddles and snow alike.

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 a thicker sock is worn and you cannot add a woollen 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 your child's feet dry and warm.

• upper: PER-lite synthetic rubber, fleece collar with a drawstring
• 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 your child's barefoot shoes will last a long time

What you may 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 these are fleece-insulated rubber wellies, not winter boots with a membrane. For the walk to nursery, building a snowman and puddles after an afternoon thaw, they are just right.
2. Do they really keep snow and water out from above?
   Yes, the collar tightens 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 taken out and dried separately?
   No. Unlike the uninsulated Monsoon Cover range, the insole here is sewn to the base. The boots dry as a whole, stood next to a radiator, not on it.
4. Are they suitable for wider feet too?
   Yes. In size 28 the inner width is 80 mm, which fits a child's foot with a terry sock and still lets the toes spread.
5. How do I choose the right size for winter?
   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 in a welly where the foot slides around, a child can rub their heel.
6. Can they be washed in a washing machine?
   No. The rubber would survive it, but the sewn-in fleece insole gets soaked in the drum and then takes several days to dry.
