I’ll be honest—I was skeptical when I ordered the Crocs Kids’ Handle It Rain Boots for my daughter. We’ve been through so many rain boots that either lek after two wears or are impossible to get on tiny, wiggly feet. But these? They surprised me. The first time she wore them, it was during one of those drizzly mornings where the sidewalks are more puddle than pavement. She stomped right in, and I held my breath waiting for the inevitable soaked-sock meltdown. It never came. The boots are genuinely waterproof, and the handles? Genius. My preschooler can actually get them on herself, which is a parenting win I didn’t expect. I didn’t expect to feel so relieved by a pair of kids’ shoes, but here we are. They’re lightweight, so she doesn’t complain about tired legs, and the grip is solid—no slips on wet playground mulch. We got the ‘Pink Crush’ color, and she loves how bright they are. If you’re tired of the rain boot struggle, you can view product here. It turned out better than I thought. Now, instead of dreading wet weather, she asks if she can wear her ‘special puddle shoes.’ That’s a win in my book.
