Tackle Winter with Jan & Jul’s Toasty-Dry Tall Puffy Winter Boots

When the snow piles up in Prince George, you need boots that can handle it all from deep snowbanks, slushy sidewalks, and icy school mornings

Why Families Love the Toasty-Dry Tall Puffy Boot

The Jan & Jul’s Toasty-Dry Tall Puffy Winter Boots shines as one of our best selling winter boots. We've now been carrying this Canadian designed winter boot for a few years now and it continues to shine as a local favourite amongst families. 

All-Terrain Winter Protection

Built for adventure, these boots feature:

• Deep tread lugs and rugged rubber outsoles for grip on ice, packed snow, and slush.
  

• Lightweight insulated construction that keeps kids comfortable without weighing them down.
  

• Extended shaft height for added coverage that keeps snow and slush out. No more cold socks halfway through playtime.
  

Rated to –20 °C / –4 °F, they’re tough enough for Northern BC winters yet flexible enough for everyday wear.

Parent feedback from last winter confirmed these boots perform beautifully in both dry cold and mild, wet snow. This is a win-win for our unpredictable climate. Now, I would not recommend standing in a puddle --- that's what rainboots are for. 

Designed for Independence

Getting ready for outdoor play shouldn’t be a battle. And game we play a lot in store is - can my child put this boot on themselves? Truly this varies depending on the childs foot shape. While the Nefar boot from Reima is a simple slip on boot, it doesn't always fit every foot. 

Jan & Jul’s exclusive Me-Put-On™ Technology features a wide opening and extended Velcro closure, so toddlers and young kids can confidently put their own boots on and actually get them on the right feet!

• Easy Velcro entry means no tugging or struggling.
  

• Adjustable fit hugs the ankle and calf to seal out snow.
  

Encourages independence and self-dressing skills for preschoolers and kindergarteners.

Water-Resistant & Eco-Friendly

Jan & Jul’s signature PVC- and fluorine-free water-resistant fabric is breathable, flexible, and safer for growing feet.

• Water-resistant outer shell protects from slush and light rain.
  

• Mud guards help repel dirt and snow buildup.
  

• Soil-repellent fabric wipes clean easily with a damp cloth.
  

The fabric stays soft in cold weathe making these boots a comfortable choice for daily wear.

If you’re after full waterproof protection, check out the Toasty-Dry Lite Boots which feature a sealed waterproof shell - or consider another winter boot with more waterproof features including membranes. We brought in the Reimatec collection for this gap - but waterproof membranes often come with a heavier price point. 

Warmth Without Bulk

Inside, a cozy Sherpa fleece lining adds instant comfort. Paired with lightweight insulation layers, these boots trap heat efficiently while staying breathable.

• Rated –20 °C / –4 °F with a regular sock.
  

• Roomy enough for wool socks on extra-cold days.
  

• Lightweight enough for all-day wear.
  

Like all winter boots the key to a successful warm foot will be ensuring you have the right fit with room for toe wiggling and roll through.

Easy-Care Durability

Let’s be real, winter boots can get quite messy.
The Toasty-Dry Tall Puffy Boots are made with families in mind:

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth or gentle brush.

• No special sprays or treatments required.
  

Because they’re flexible and quick-drying, these boots are ideal for back-to-back winter days without downtime.

Fit & Sizing

Available in toddler and little-kid sizes 5 to 11.5 (≈ size 11 fit).

• Fits true to size; but we tend to size up to the next half size where possible for that roomy fit for growth. The light weight features of the shoe ensures longevity and fit.
  

• Wider opening accommodates chunkier snow pants.
  

• For narrow feet, adjust the Velcro closure snugly for a secure fit.
