Why Stonz Page

Our story
starts in 2004.

Our story started with our CEO and Founder, Lisa Will. Lisa loved the outdoors and would bring her infant son on adventures with her. She quickly realized that getting outdoors with an infant was not as easy as she thought it would be. To make matters worse, his footwear always fell off leaving him cold and unhappy. Lisa searched the market for footwear that would keep up with their adventurous ways and help him stay comfortable in all-weather situations. Frustrated over not finding a suitable product,

Lisa decided to solve this problem herself and Stonz was born! She wanted all families to be able to play outdoors every day, regardless of the weather, and to have products that worked for children.

From garage
to international
brand.

Initially working out of her basement and garage, Lisa produced the first Stonz Booties and began selling them locally in Vancouver, Canada. Over the years, Stonz has grown and we’ve continued to develop high-quality products that kids love to make it easy to get outside. We are proud to say that today we are an award-winning company selling internationally in over 16 countries.

Certified by the
CPMA and the
APMA

Stonz is the only company that designs specifically for kids, and the only children’s company to have a podiatric certification from the Canadian Podiatric Medical Association (CPMA) and the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) for supporting healthy, developing feet. Every Stonz product has its purpose.

We think of everything from a child’s perspective – instead of shrinking adult-sized products to smaller sizes, our team carefully considers each product’s shape, form, and how they move with each child.

A step in the right direction.
