Booty Love
Babies don’t need shoes, but keeping their tootsies warm in winter months is essential, so why not bundle them in the cutest footcovers around? These precious shearling Love Winter Bootiesfrom Elks & Angels (available in sizes 3-6, 6-9, and 9-15 months; $39) help regulate baby’s body temperature with soft sheepskin.
Walking on Air
Two fabulous features of these Jimmy kids’ boots ($50)—in hipster colors Juice Green and Foxtail Orange: They’re light as a feather, so they won’t weigh your guy down, and the toggle tie’s a great option for kids who’ve graduated beyond Velcro fastenings but who aren’t quite expert lace tiers yet.

Waterproof, stylish, and…machine washable? You bet. The patented Neo-Tech insulation in Bogs Summit Buffalo Plaid winter boots($75) keeps tiny toes warm to 14 degrees F, and the contoured footbed allows kiddos to run around comfortably. Of course, Bogs’ easy pull-on handles are a trademark godsend.
Everywhere that Mary Went…
Your little lamb will swoon over these snuggly merino wool boots from EMU—the natural fibers are breathable so your tot’s feet won’t overheat. The baby booties ($49) are made with new walkers in mind with a flexible, molded-rubber sole, while the big kids’ version ($89) offer a reinforced heel cup for added support.
