The only real danger in getting your daughter the DC Girls" Allie Snow Boots is that she"ll want to wear them well into the spring and probably the summer. They look good, but not with shorts. The good news is that her feet will be warm and comfortable all winter, and the Allie"s tough synthetic leather and ripstop nylon uppers will stand up to all the abuse she can dish out. DC also padded the Allie"s tongue and added an EVA foam midsole to absorb shock and make walks to school a breeze. That means more exercise for her and more sacktime for you. So, hit the snooze button and thank your stars for the good folks at DC.
