Sizing Update

Why does the size printed on my shoe look different from what I ordered?
We recently updated our sizing system to improve fit accuracy. While most shoes now reflect this change, some pairs may still have the previous size printed on them. The fit still matches the updated size you selected at checkout.

Will the shoes still fit correctly?
Yes! Please try them on. The shoes are made to match the updated sizing—even if the printed label or product shows the old size. Please use the comparison chart provided to see how the old and new sizes align.

BOOTIES:

When buying Liners for the booties, what size of liners and booties should I buy?
A: Bootie Liners take up approximately 1 cm of space inside the Booties. We recommend sizing up if you’re on the very edge of size measurement.  If you’re in the middle of the size or at the middle of the season, as the weather warms, not only will your liner have packed out a little, giving more room, but you will not need the liner as you come out of winter and spring begins, giving you even more room for feet to spread.  Also, the booties are made of flexible materials that allow for growth and can flex as needed.  Our size charts offer full measurements and age indications and assist you. Go to our SIZING GUIDE page for printable guides if you need further assistance.
  
Are Stonz Booties waterproof?
A: We originally developed the Stonz Booties to fill a gap in a child’s life when their feet are so chubby and flexible they don’t fit into traditional hard-soled and inflexible footwear.  We make Booties to keep cold out, wind out, and stay on when kids hang in a pack or sling, sit or run around and be active.  The soles on the booties for one year and older are made of a 400 Denier coated nylon upper, making them rain and wind-resistant but not waterproof. As the Booties are not fully seam-sealed, water can eventually seep through if used in wet weather or puddle jumping. 
A (TODDLER BOOTIES): Stonz Booties are made of a 400 Denier coated nylon upper, making them rain and wind-resistant, but not waterproof. As the Booties are not fully seam-sealed, water can eventually seep through if used in wet weather or puddle jumping. Sizes Medium and up have a waterproof sole.
 
Are the Baby Booties (size Small) suitable for walking?
A: Soft-soled shoes have been recommended by experts for developing feet because the flexibility allows them to grip, balance and stand with additional room inside their footwear. Stonz Booties feature an outer sole made with grippy, SlipNOT material and a fleece-lined inner.  
 
Is there a temperature rating for Stonz Booties?
A: While Stonz Booties have no official temperature rating, they are widely used in Northern Canada, Eastern North America, Scandinavia, and Finland. When paired with Stonz Bootie Liners, children can play in the snow for long periods and stay warm and cozy! In places that experience mild winters, Booties are great with bare feet or socks. However, we recommend the Stonz Baby or Toddler Puffer Booties with an extra insulation layer if you face harsh winters.

Are the Booties safe to use in the snow?
A: Yes! Our Booties are suitable for the snow as the soles are made of rubberized SlipNOT™ material, making them skid-resistant and water-resistant. To ensure that little feet will stay warm in the snow, we recommend purchasing the Liners with them as well.

Is there a left and right Bootie?
A: Yes - there is a left and a right on the Toddler Bootie. Turn the booties upside down and check the soles to see the correct foot. 

What is the best way to make sure my Booties last a long time?
A: One way of extending the life of your Booties is to depress the toggle fully so the elastic casing will not become worn over time. Another way to make sure your Booties last is to rinse them each time your kids walk on ground that may have been in contact with road salts. Keeping concrete wear to a minimum is also key to getting the maximum amount of life out of your Booties.

What is the best way to clean the Booties?
A: After exposure to road salt or dirt, flip the Booties inside out and toss them in the wash - Liners too! - on a gentle cycle. The Booties and Liners can either be air-dried or dried inside out in the dryer on no heat.

What’s the difference between Botties and Puffer Booties?
 A: Our classic Bootie is made of 400D Nylon and lined with the softest fleece. Our Puffer Booties have an extra layer of insulation covered with 100% Ripstop Nylon with a PU coating, making them warmer than the classic Bootie. 
When worn with Liners, the Puffer Booties can protect from freezing temperatures.


MITTS:
 
What makes Stonz Mitts so warm?
A: All Stonz Mitts are lined with 3M™ Thinsulate™ (150 grams per square meter of insulation), making them some of the warmest children’s mittens on the market. This form of insulation offers superior warmth, is soft and breathable so your little one remains comfortable and is highly durable.

Are Stonz Mitts 100% waterproof?
A:  Yes! - Our Mitts are made up of wind-resistant coated 400D nylon shell, which keeps wind and snow out of the Mitts. All of our Mitts are also 100% waterproof!

Are the Baby Mitts as warm as Youth?
- Both Baby and Youth Mitts have Thinsulate™  technology on them. Because of that, our Mitts have gained popularity in Norway and northern Canada, and that's why we can vouch that our Mitts keep hands warm even in extreme winter conditions! Find more information about ThinsulateTM here. 

What is the best way to decide what size I pick for my child?
A: Measuring your child’s hand from wrist to fingertip, then from elbow to fingertip is the best way to decide on the size. You can then take these measurements and use our virtual fitting room to find the best size.

What is the difference between Baby and Kids Mitts?
A: Our Baby Mitts feature a no-thumb design for maximum warmth and easy-on. Our Kid Mitts have a thumb, Slip-Not® grip on palms, fleece nose wipe, and covers the arms - perfect for little noses in the cold weather! 


TREK BOOTS:
 
Why are these Boots so light?
A: One of the most significant features of our Stonz Winter Boots is how incredibly light they are! They weigh 0.28 kg and 0.8 kg (0.62 lbs and 1.76 lbs) per pair. Thanks to the XFS sole, this makes Stonz Winter Boots as flexible as many children’s running shoes.

Are the Trek Boots waterproof?
A: The lower portion and soles of our Trek Boots are made of XFS, which is 100% waterproof. The upper of the Boots is made of 600D Nylon, which is water-resistant.

How durable is this foam sole?
A: Stonz Winter Boots are certified as having 2x the industry standard for skid resistance and 19x the industry standard for sole abrasion. Some of our customers walk up to their steep, icy driveways with no slipping in sight! Others have reported that their Boots are still in excellent condition after a whole winter of serious trekking on sidewalks and snow.
 
Are the removable liners machine washable?
A: Due to the complex construction of the Radiantex liners, it is best to hand-wash them with warm water and mild soap. If washing is necessary, gently hand-wash them inside out and let them dry completely before flipping them right-side-out and putting them back in the boots. *Tip: Stuffing newsprint inside can help draw the moisture out faster!*


RAIN BOOTS:

Why are Stonz Rain Boots made of Natural Rubber?
A: We chose natural rubber because we believe in keeping toxins away from our little customers. They are made of natural rubber and are free of dangerous toxins, PVC, phthalates, lead, flame retardants & formaldehyde. In addition, our Rain Boots don’t off-gas and are safe for the bare skin of hands and feet.
 
What is the difference between Natural Rubber and Regular Rubber?
A: Beyond the safety and environmental reasons for choosing natural rubber, we also find it is more comfortable than plastic boots. It is more flexible and has more energy return for underfoot cushioning. These qualities make natural rubber better for developing feet that want a full range of motion without sacrificing protection from the hard ground.

How should I store the Rain Boots during Summer?
A: Being made with natural rubber, we recommend storing them somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. That way, they’ll be ready for next season as soon as the puddles arrive!

Are these free of toxins like lead?
A: We are proud to say that our Rain Boots are free from PVC, phthalates, lead, flame retardants and formaldehyde. 

Should I size up if I’m ordering the Rain Boot Liners?
A: The Liners themselves are designed to fit the same-sized Rain Boots (ie, size 8T Rain Boot Liners will fit size 8T Rain Boots). Please note the liners add bulk to the Rain Boots, possibly increasing the size you’ll need to purchase. Please check our Virtual Fit charts for the best choice.
