With Kavat, they’ll be ready for anything—from rainy playgrounds to snow-covered schoolyards. Our collection prioritizes sustainability, comfort, and safety, so you can rest assured their feet are in good hands. Below, we proudly present a selection of our top picks that, according to us and many others, are some of the best shoes in the world for autumn and winter.
Autumn favorites
With its wide opening and easy Velcro straps, it’s designed to help kids learn how to put their shoes on and take them off independently. Made from durable, water-repellent Cross Country leather and lined with warming wool fleece, it’s easy to keep clean while keeping kid's feet cozy. Reinforced areas provide extra support, and the grippy rubber sole makes it a reliable everyday choice for both kids and parents.
It’s 100% waterproof, thanks to a biodegradable, breathable membrane and taped seams. The double Velcro straps offer a secure, adjustable fit—perfect for busy kids while also making it easy to slip on and off. Reinforced toes add durability, and the sturdy rubber outsole provides extra grip when needed. Plus, they’re machine washable at 30 degrees—how convenient!

This rubber boot is made from recycled materials and free of harmful chemicals, making it a safe choice for both kids and the environment. This is one of two of our rubber boot models that are ECO-label certified. With its durable, non-slip sole, Grytgöl offers stability on slippery surfaces, while the flexible fit makes it easy to slip on and off. It’s also machine washable. Keep in mind, though, that rubber doesn’t breathe, so it’s best to alternate with sneakers for longer wear. This is one of two our rubber boots models
Winter must-haves
As the snow begins to fall and the temperatures drop, kids need sturdy winter boots that can handle both playtime and the cold. Its durable outer material and taped seams protect against snow and slush, while the soft wool blend lining adds warmth and comfort. One of its most popular features is the wide flexible tongue that keeps snow out while making it easy for even the youngest kids to take them on and off. We’ve also added internal reinforcements to maintain the boot’s shape and stability. Fun fact: up to eight kids have worn the same pair of Yxhult, proving it’s a quality boot that truly lasts!
Made from premium, partly renewable materials, it’s designed to keep kids' feet dry and warm with its waterproof exterior and extra insulating lining. The high shaft offers added protection from snow, while the rugged sole provides excellent grip on icy surfaces. Remember, rubber doesn’t breathe or retain warmth, so Gimo is best as a complement to a warmer winter boot. We recommend letting the boots air out between uses. The removable lining can be washed or dried separately as needed, and in most cases, a simple wipe with a damp cloth will keep the boots clean. Extra Gimo Insocks can also be purchased for easy rotation between wears. The boots are also fully machine washable at 30 degrees.
An ultimate indoor slippers for kids, made from natural materials and featuring a soft, padded interior to keep feet warm and comfy. With non-slip soles, they provide a safe option for running around indoors (even though we all know running inside is officially not allowed!).
