Neoprene kids' waders with built-in rubber boots, taped seams and a high back, made for creek walks, mud and cold, shallow water.
Find Your Size
European sizes are based on your child’s height in centimeters. Because kids of the same age can be different sizes, height is the best guide for fit.
Enter your child’s height in inches, and we’ll show the closest CM size range. This correlates to the first number in the size option. ie: 98 or 122. If CM sizing is not provided, simply choose the age provided.
💡 Tip: These are general guidelines. Always check specific brand size charts when possible, as sizing can vary between manufacturers.
Product Description
The Oaki Kids Neoprene Waders in Realtree MAX-5® Camo are made for the kids who head straight for the creek. With built-in rubber boots and a neoprene body, they help keep kids dry and comfortable while they wade, dig and explore in cold, shallow water.
Waders cover what rain pants and tall boots can't: knee-deep creeks, mudflats, tide pools and the deep puddle everyone has to stand in. Neoprene adds warmth, so these are a strong fit for spring, fall and chilly-water days.
Why Parents Love It
- Built-in boots: Full rubber boots with neoprene lining and a rugged tread, so there is no gap between boot and pant for water to find.
- Warmth in cold water: Oaki says the neoprene body provides insulation and durability, a real help when kids stand in a cold creek.
- Taped seams: Fully taped seams help protect against leaks and add comfort inside.
- High back panel: Designed to help keep water out when kids sit down or splash, which they will.
- Easy on, easy off: Oaki designed these for kids to put on and take off by themselves.
- Front chest pocket: A spot for a small treasure, a snack or the rock that has to come home.
Built for Real Outdoor Use
Creek days, mudflats, beachcombing and clamming, and standing beside a grown-up who is fishing. The boot tread helps kids keep their footing on wet, slippery ground, and the wader belt helps keep water out while adding comfort.
Because neoprene holds warmth, these waders also work well on cool mornings, late-fall afternoons and snowy days in the yard. Adjustable shoulder straps help dial in the fit as kids move, climb and crouch.
Things to Know
- Sizing: The boots are built in, so check the shoe size on Oaki's size chart as well as height. Oaki recommends sizing up if your child is between sizes.
- Warm, not breathable: Neoprene holds heat. On hot days kids may get sweaty, and a breathable wader is the better choice.
- Shallow water only: Waders are not a flotation device. Keep kids in shallow water with an adult close by.
- Care: Rinse with clean water after each use, use mild soap for tougher dirt and air dry in a cool, shaded spot. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Keep away from heaters and direct sunlight, which Oaki notes can crack or warp neoprene. Dry fully before storing.

Why ODSS Recommends It
For kids who want to be in the water, not beside it, these are our pick for cooler seasons and cold creeks. The built-in boots and high back solve the two ways kids usually get wet: over the boot top and sitting down.
We especially like that kids can pull them on themselves, which means less time getting ready and more time finding out what lives under the rocks.

For us, the right gear from ODSS supports what we believe most about childhood. When children are able to be outside every day, in all seasons, they become tenacious, confident, and develop an authentic relationship with the land.
