The Best Snow Boots for Kids with Narrow Feet – Waterpoof and Supportive!

Have you been looking for a pair of snow boots that can fit the shape of your child’s narrow feet? Do you feel like every single pair of snow boots that you try gaps too much around your child’s legs and allows for too much foot movement inside the boot? At the shoe store that I work for I have helped several children with narrow feet find the perfect pair of shoes for their feet, and over the years I became familiar with the best snow boots for kids with narrow feet.

Finding a pair of narrow snow boots can be a frustrating and time-consuming experience. There are no snow boots available in narrow widths (N), but there are certain snow boots that fit narrower than others.

My Experience Fitting Children’s Shoes

I have been working for a specialized children’s shoe store for over 10 years now. The store specializes in fitting shoes for children with “complicated” foot shapes such as narrow or extra wide feet, but we provide regular shoe fittings as well. From my experience fitting thousands of kids, I have become familiar with the best shoe brands and shoe styles for children with narrow feet.

Even though your child might wear the snow boots for very short periods of time and once in a while, it’s important that they are fitted properly, otherwise, you might end up creating several foot issues. A snow boot that is too wide means that your child’s feet will move too much inside the boots, and this constant friction between your child’s feet and the boots might lead to blisters, calluses, and corns.

In addition, if the snow boots are too wide you might compromise your child’s stability, especially when walking on wet, slippery surfaces.

What Makes the Snow Boots that I Recommend Effective for Narrow Feet?

The boots I recommend provide a secure velcro closure around your child’s calves and a narrow toe-box. Let me show you the difference between the boots I recommend and other snow boots:

The snow boots that I recommend also provide narrower platforms to help accommodate your child’s narrow feet.

You should always observe and pay close attention to the way your child walks and runs to determine how comfortable your child is wearing the shoes. Just simply observe the way your child moves, runs and plays. If you notice that they are walking or running funny it might be a sign that they are uncomfortable with the shoes that they are wearing.

I only review shoes that I have fitted before, as that is the only way for me to tell how supportive and durable the shoes are as well as how they fit.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the best snow boots for kids with narrow feet. Disclosure: Keep in mind that we may receive commissions when you click our links and make purchases.

Many of the snow boots featured below come in several color options, so if you want the boots to be made of a specific color, please make sure to click through and see if they are available in that specific color.

What Snow Boot Size Should You Order?

To allow for growing room, I highly recommend that parents order these boots a whole size larger than their child’s current foot size. This translates to 3/8 of an inch or 0.8 centimeters of space between your child’s longest toe and the end of the boots. That space will also prevent your child’s toes from rubbing against the front or the sides of the boots.

You should always round up when purchasing snow boots to allow for the correct amount of growing room and also because they are not available in half sizes. For instance, if your child measures a foot size 3 ½, you should get the snow boot size 4. If your child measures a foot size 4, then you should order the shoe size 5.

How to Retrieve Your Child’s Exact Foot Length and Shape

If you don’t know your child’s foot size you won’t be able to order the correct shoe size online. The article below explains the simplest and most effective way to figure out your child’s foot size from home:

In that article I help parents determine their child’s exact foot size and whether the child has narrow, medium, wide, or extra wide feet. I also will be able to tell you whether your child has a high instep or not.

Are Your Child’s Snow Boots Fitting Correctly?

Once the boots arrive, make sure that you have your child try them on at home. Follow the two steps below to make sure that the boots are not too wide for your child’s feet:

➡️ 1^st Step

With your child’s boots on, slide your finger in the front of the boot to check if there is extra shoe material. Take a look at the picture below for visualization purposes. Do you notice how there is a lot of extra shoe material in the front of the boots?

➡️ 2^nd Step

With your child’s boots on, check the back of the boots to see if there is a gap around your child’s heels. Do you notice how there is a lot of extra space around the heels?

These are the two most common signs that children have narrow feet or are wearing shoes that are too wide for their feet.

In addition to fitting the shape of your child’s narrow feet perfectly, the snow boots I recommended provide the following 5 important features.

Narrow Snow Boots for Kids – The 5 Most Important Features!

1️⃣ Waterproof to keep your child’s feet dry.

2️⃣ Insulated to keep your child’s feet warm.

3️⃣ Lightweight to prevent your child’s feet and legs from easily getting tired.

4️⃣ Good traction to reduce the likelihood of your child slipping and falling.

5️⃣ Adjustable closure to make it easy for your child to get the boot on and off. This feature will also ensure a snug fit and will prevent any snow from getting inside the boots.

What are the Most Popular Snow Boot Brands for Narrow Feet?

I want to clarify that just because a certain shoe brand is more suitable for children with a particular foot shape, that doesn’t mean that all of the shoe styles among that shoe brand will be able to accommodate the particular child’s foot shape.

For example, one of my favorite shoe brands for children with narrow feet is Naturino. If your child has narrow feet, you might already be familiar with this shoe brand. However, there are certain shoe styles among this brand that fit narrower than others.

Naturino is one of the best-fitting brands for children with narrow feet. The boots that Naturino makes are all waterproof and some of the styles come with an adjustable bungee-cord closure which will make it really easy for your child to get the boot on and off.

The great thing about these boots is that they are lightweight and flexible, meaning that your child can not only use them for the snow, but also for hiking or even just on rainy days. This means that even if it doesn’t happen to snow this season, your child will be still able to wear the boots.

Another snow boot brand you might want to start getting familiar with is called Tundra. I have found 2 particular styles in this shoe brand that fit extremely narrow.

These boots are also very versatile since they can also be used as snow boots/rain boots.  They are lightweight, flexible, and provide great traction! They come temperature rated to -30 Fahrenheit and with an anti-microbial insole that provides odor protection to keep your children’s feet feeling fresh.

I always explain to parents how socks play a key role in keeping their kids’ feet healthy, as they act as a barrier between their feet and the shoes. The correct type of socks help prevent the formation of bacteria inside your kids’ boots and your kids’ feet and shoes from getting smelly.

Winter Socks for Kids – Let’s Keep Your Kids’ Feet Warm!

As snow boots don’t breathe as well as sneakers, it’s important to provide your child with a pair of socks that allow your child’s feet to breathe. The socks should be the same length as the snow boot, that way the boot won’t rub against your child’s ankles and create blisters.

Certain socks provide more warmth and cushioning for those really cold days. These are the best socks for the winter season as they are made of merino wool, an ultra-soft, naturally anti-microbial, breathable material.

If your child needs a pair of socks to go with the snow boots, below you can find a selection of the best socks for winter boots that I have fitted before.
