Best Shearling Boots for Kids with Wide Feet — Affordable, Warm, Durable, and Comfortable!
Have you been looking for a pair of winter boots for your kids with wide feet? Have you tried a couple of shearling boots but your kids complain that they all feel too tight and uncomfortable? I have put together a selection of the best shearling boots for kids with wide feet and I will show you these boots shortly.
Finding a pair of winter boots for a child with wide feet can be frustrating and time-consuming, but it gets even harder when you are trying to find a pair of winter boots that come with shearling inside.
Some of the most popular shearling boots for kids are made by Uggs, but I wanted to provide parents with an alternative to Uggs as they are not the most supportive and affordable piece of footwear. There are other more versatile boots that provide better support than Uggs that come with shearling inside.
The shearling boots I recommend are supportive, waterproof, and provide good traction to make sure that your kids don’t slip and fall, especially when walking on wet, slippery surfaces.
How to Retrieve Your Child’s Exact Foot Length and Shape
Before I show you a selection of the best shearling boots for kids, I want to first make sure that you know your child’s exact foot size. You won’t be able to order the correct shoe size online if you don’t know what your child’s foot size is to begin with.
Maybe you already know or suspect that your child has wide feet, but wouldn’t you want to be certain whether your child has wide or extra wide feet? Do you know if your child has a high instep or not? Do you know your child’s exact foot length?
I can help you answer all of those questions. I created a different article that helps parents find their child’s exact foot length and foot width by following two simple steps.
What Makes the Shearling Boots I Recommend Effective for Kids with Wide Feet?
1️⃣ Extra Depth: The boots provide extra depth which means that they allow the child’s feet to fit deeply inside the boots, preventing the top part of their feet (instep) from rubbing against the top part of the boots.
2️⃣ Rounder Toe-Boxes: The boots provide rounder toe-boxes to prevent your children’s toes from rubbing against one another or the side of the boots. It’s important for your kids’ shoes to never constrict toe movement.
In addition to providing extra depth and rounder toe-boxes the boots I recommend open up nice and wide which allows parents to easily slide the boots on and off. This is an awesome feature as parents always complain when they struggle to get their children’s shoes on and off.
The shearling boots I recommend are also lightweight, flexible, and some of the styles are waterproof.
By now you should know your child’s foot size, and now that you know what features the shearling boots I recommend provide you can decide whether they might be a good fit for your child’s feet or not.
Just so you know, I only review children’s shoes that I have fitted before since that is the only way for me to know how well-made the shoes are, the amount of support that they provide, and how they fit.

Keep in mind that most boots are not available in half sizes, they are available in whole sizes only. This means that if your child measures a foot size 10 I suggest that you order the shoe size 11. If your child measures a foot size 10 1/2 then I recommend the shoe size 12. Makes sense?
Are Any Other Shoe Choices Available?
If you are having a hard time determining what boot size to order for your child I suggest that you send me an email to:
