Unisex, for boys or girls. Very nice red, with dark gray-blue? Sole. Out animal motif at the ankle, so that the child always knows what comes boots on which foot. Low entrance height, so that even small children alone can dress and undress - our son could only dress and undress already 1.5 years. Very flexible outsole, the climbing and playing on the playground in these rubber boots are no longer a problem. The footbed / the foot shape is very comfortable designed. Our son loves this model: we have the third quantity of them. The next 2 sizes (27 and 28) I just bought. Very convenient: I selbt also Dunlop rubber boots in size 37. unlined. Ideal for the transitional period, the fall or spring. In cooler weather, our son wearing thick socks second in their boots. For winter (Nov-Feb) is not suitable because we have other, actually snow boots or we like the waterproof, padded shoes Primigi Primigi Moki and Nero. Recommendation: a thin leather sole from other footwear fooled or mitkaufen the Bama Alutherm Airtech Kids insole directly from Amazon. No elastic waistband above: Advantage: easy to enter, jeans, outdoor trousers can be worn also inserted into the boots, no uncomfortable pressure on the leg. Disadvantage: it comes time sand in the boots of the top pure. Simply shake. When Meeresurlaub can also sand succeed in the boots: best wear the boots here without the extra purchased insole, then ausschüttem sand, possibly at the end of the holiday the boot from the inside, rinse with water. Note: until this year the boots were (blue-red, with cat motif) packed in cardboard and in a different style. From this year, the boots come unpackaged. One notices also the boots I had to wash from the outside with warm soapy water. I think the manufacturer has launched an austerity program. The boots in size 27 stank of rubber, it was not that before. But the features that are important to us, are there: flexible outsole, low entry height, very convenient. And completely waterproof. Particularly breathable they are not, but ok for the puddles battle and few hours mud playground. (As a comparison, we had yet taken wellies Tchibo, Demar, Aldi: all too stiff to high shaft etc).
