Crocs clogs are cute, but moms know the $35 kids rain boots are the best

Toddlers get fixated with certain things: stuffed animals, bedtime routines…a specific snack.We all know this.

What I didn’t expect was for my two-year-old to develop a full-blown obsession with her Crocs Rain Boots.To be fair, I was a Crocs clog kid myself — the lightweight feel, the easy slip-on design, and of course, all the Jibbitz.But now, as a mom, I’ve realized it’s the Crocs Handle It Rain Boots that are seriously underrated, especially considering they’re up to 35% off ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.My daughter insists on wearing her pair all the time, even when it’s 70 degrees and sunny outside.

She loves the bounce, the pull-on handles and the bright, playful patterns (the unicorn pair is everything).And honestly, I’m just as sold.

After over a year of serious puddle-jumping and playground laps, her feet have stayed completely dry.They hold up astounding well for $35 boots.The Handle It style also happens to be on sale just in time for Spring showers.

I’m already eyeing some backups before she outgrows her current pair, and we have a new crisis on our hands.The Crocs Kids’ Handle It Rain Boots get a lot right: they’re colorful and sensory-friendly, a little bit over-the-top (the dinosaur and Disney styles are also very fun), and — most importantly — they’re the first boots my daughter can actually put on by herself.Crocs really nailed the design here.

The easy pull-on shape and sturdy side handles give little ones the independence they desperately want while they’re learning to get dressed.And the slick material makes them surprisingly easy to slide off, too.

We don’t have to wrestle with them, as with some other boots.The comfort level is clear, too.

My daughter has spent hours running, jumping and playing in these boots without any complaints.The lightweight EVA sole has that signature Crocs bounce, which keeps little ones light on their feet.

Plus, the round-toe provides a little extra space for kids to grow...
