Gear Recommendations 

• Winter boots- these have removable liners for drying, they don’t have straps or buckles that pop open during play, they are warm, and can be passed down when outgrown

• Wool socks- this is an option but I am not sold on this item. Keep me in the loop if you have/find something you like that I should recommend to others.
