As you can see in this picture, it's a normal day of playing. I had just taken off my pants and put my boots on... by myself, thank you very much! I love the way these boots sound when I walk. Clunk! Clunk! And they are very practical. They keep my feet warm and they have Velcro straps to make things easy for a kid like me. Playtime isn't playtime without them. I highly recommend a sturdy snow boot for all ages
