RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter Kids' Barefoot Insulated Wellies Dark Blue

RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter is the winter version of the Monsoon Cover wellies. Same cut and sole, plus a fleece collar with drawstring and fleece lining throughout the entire boot height. The collar cinches around the calf, so snow won't get inside when your child is playing in snowdrifts.

The lightweight and flexible construction supports natural foot movement, whilst the anatomical shape keeps toes spread out. The navy is dark, closer to petrol blue, with a beige collar and caramel sole. Perfect for nursery, playground and forest, for winter puddles and snow alike.

Size Chart

How to Choose the Right Size

Measure your child's foot and add 9 to 12 mm growing room. For winter boots we recommend going towards the upper limit, as they'll be worn with thicker socks and you can't add your own wool insole here.

The measurements below were taken by us on the actual boot, not converted from the manufacturer's chart.

Material

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

• upper: PER-lite synthetic rubber, fleece collar with drawstring
• lining: fleece throughout the entire boot height
• sole: PER-lite rubber
• insole: sewn in, non-removable

How to Care for Your Boots

• always remove heavy dirt with a brush first
• wipe the boots with a damp cloth
• do not wash or dry directly next to heat sources; the sewn-in fleece insole dries slowly and overheated rubber warps
• with proper care your barefoot boots will last a long time

What You Might Want to Know About RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter

1. Are they warm enough for January?
   For a typical Central European January, yes. For standing outside all day in freezing temperatures, no – these are fleece-lined wellies, not winter boots with a membrane. They're perfect for the walk to nursery, building a snowman and puddles after the afternoon thaw.
2. Do they really prevent snow and water from getting in at the top?
   Yes, the collar cinches with a drawstring around the calf and seals well. When it's warmer, you can fold it over the boot edge and the welly becomes a bit 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 unit, placed next to the heating, not on it.
4. Are they suitable for wider feet too?
   Yes. In size 28 the internal width is 80 mm, which accommodates a child's foot even with a terry sock and the toes can still spread out.
5. How do I choose the right size for winter?
   Measure the foot in the evening when it's at its largest, and add 9 to 12 mm. We don't recommend growing room over 15 mm; in wellies that are too big, your child will get blisters on their heel.
6. Can they be machine washed?
   No. The rubber would survive, but the sewn-in fleece insole would get waterlogged in the drum and then take several days to dry.

What you might want to know about RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter

1. Are they warm enough for January?
   For a typical British January, yes. For standing outside all day in freezing temperatures, no - these are fleece-lined wellies, not insulated winter boots with a membrane. They're perfect for the nursery run, building snowmen and splashing in puddles after the afternoon thaw.
2. Do they really stop snow and water getting in from the top?
   Yes, the collar cinches with a drawstring around the calf and seals well. When it's milder, you can fold it down over the boot's edge and the welly sits lower.
3. Can you remove the insole and dry it separately?
   No. Unlike the non-insulated Monsoon Cover range, the insole here is sewn to the base. The boots dry as one piece, standing next to the radiator, not on it.
4. Are they suitable for wider feet too?
   Yes. In size 28 the internal width is 80 mm, which accommodates a child's foot even with a towelling sock and still leaves room for toes to spread.
5. How do I choose the right size for winter?
   Measure your child's foot in the evening when it's at its largest, and add 9 to 12 mm. We don't recommend growing room over 15 mm - in wellies that are too big, your child will rub their heel.
6. Can they be machine washed?
   No. The rubber would survive, but the sewn-in fleece insole would get waterlogged in the drum and then take several days to dry.
