Stonz Booties Review

I was dreading winter this year…mainly because it is such a hassle to get boots on/off a toddler.  I remember the daily struggles I had with my 3 year old when he was little.  He wouldn’t sit still and it took forever to get the boots on/off.  As soon as I got the boots on, than they would fall off.  This year I received help from a company called Stonz:

Lisa’s favourite quote is “There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing.”

As an active mom based on Canada’s wet and rugged West Coast, Lisa discovered that finding warm footwear for her young kids was near impossible. With her five-month old son in a backpack, Lisa resorted to wrapping scarves around her son’s legs to keep him warm. When she met another mom with a boot that looked a lot like a fleece-lined chalk bag (which was made-by-hand for her child), Lisa instantly knew that these booties could fill a need in the market. Together, they created some booties samples – made with a fleece lined inner and a coated nylon exterior. The booties were designed with stylish appliqués, soft soles for a custom fit, and toggles at both the calf and ankle so that they stayed on.

After five years in business, the Stonz team knows that they are meeting a real need. They are constantly delighted to hear from parents and grandparents from all over who are enjoying the booties – just as Stonz intended.

I was given the opportunity to review a pair of Stonz Booties for my 20 month old:

A versatile all season bootie that can be worn over shoes, Stonz Linerz, slippers or bare feet.

• For children aged newborn to 4 years.
• Durable coated nylon upper provides wind and water-resistance.
• Fleece lining provides warmth and comfort.
• Wide opening designed to slip on easily.
• Two adjustable toggles at calf and ankle provide custom fit and ensure Booties stay on!
• Rubberized, skid-resistant soft soles.
• Machine wash and dry, inside out on delicate cycle.
• Made in Canada.

Retails for $46.95.

My take:  I do believe this will be my on “go to” product for all winter.  I can’t believe how easy it is to take these booties on/off.  I love every aspect of them.  They are perfect for daycare where I can slip them over his shoes and then easily take them off in seconds and not have to put on another pair of shoes.   I love how there is two toggles which ensure for a correct fit and best of all they have so many adorable prints it literally took me 20 minutes to decide on the dinosaur design!
