RAYVE Monsoon Cover Winter Kids' Barefoot Wellies Burgundy

Insulated barefoot wellies with fleece lining and drawstring collar. Wide toe box, zero drop, flexible sole. One-piece rubber construction for puddles, mud and snow.

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

The lightweight, flexible construction supports natural foot movement, whilst the anatomical shape leaves room for toes to spread. The burgundy colour leans towards raspberry and makes your child visible on grey November pavements. 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 end, as they'll be worn with thicker socks and you won't be able to add your own wool insole.

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 height of the boot
• sole: PER-lite rubber
• insole: sewn in, non-removable

How to care for the 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 shoes 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 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 nursery run, building a snowman and afternoon puddles after a 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 edge of the boot and the welly becomes shorter.
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 one unit, placed 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 terry sock and the toes can still spread.
5. How to 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 get blisters on their heels.
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.
