First Impressions
Maddie's mom said, "these boots are great." She loved the pink and brown color combination that made an otherwise, rugged-looking boot look fun, funky and girl-approved.
Aidan has a love for all thinks camouflage, so these boots were a perfect fit for him. His mom was impressed with Kamik's recycling program, stating, "I like the fact that you can send them back after they will not fit anyone and they can recycle them."
Sierra's mom said, "Oh, I'm impressed for sure. I didn't know rainboots could be so nice, in all areas, style, durability and comfort! They are perfect for the fall and even winter weather. I know she won't be cold and wet when she gets off of the school bus. They are warm and cozy inside, and cute and sassy on the outside."
