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 who had 6 years earlier made a boot that looked a lot like a fleece-lined chalk bag for her child, Lisa instantly knew 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, Lisa and the Stonz team introduced Stonz Linerz, Mittz and Hatz. They are constantly delighted to hear from parents and grandparents from all over who are enjoying the booties as well as the new gear – just as Stonz intended.
With the success of their booties, Stonz is now looking beyond and has recently launched additional new products to outfit babies and children:
Larger Size Booties for children 2 to 3 years.
Stonz Linerz provide additional warmth with Sherpa-fleece for inside the booties.
Stonz Mittz feature an “over the arm” design along with 5 layers of warmth for maximum protection and warmth. The toggle system ensures they stay on, just like Stonz booties. Available in sizes newborn to 7 year olds.
Stonz Hatz made with quality fleece in 2 styles - reversible and pointed. Available in sizes up to 5 years.
While the original booties were created out of necessity, the company has grown out of a passion for the products’ ability to help parents connect with their kids in the great outdoors.
With Lisa leading a growing team and closely involved in production at their head office in Vancouver, BC, the company continues to flourish into one of the dominant manufacturers of versatile children’s outdoor gear.
