Crocs rain boots are a bit of a cult favorite on Amazon with over 5,000 reviews, and it’s clear why both parents and toddlers love them. They’re solidly made of Croslite, a cushioned, waterproof resin that’s lightweight and comes in bright colors, including yellow, green, and blue. Oversized handles make them easy for kids to pull these boots on and take them off, and they feature a reflective logo on the heel for safety. Deep grooves in the synthetic outsole make them sturdy on wet ground, and parents commented they love how well they clean up.
A helpful review: There is no lining — the inside is the same material as the outside. So when they get completely muddy I wash them with soap and water and can dry them with a towel and they are ready to go! No waiting for the inside to dry out.

A helpful review: “Omg these are the cutest thing I have ever seen yall!!! I got the 7 toddler for my almost 2 year old. And they are spacious. But not so big that she can’t wear them right now. I feel like she will be able to wear these for a while because of the extra toe length in them. Slides on & off easily. Bought these to match my hunter boots. Mommy and me boots lol.”
