The Best Winter Boots for Kids: Meet Jan & Jul’s Toasty-Dry Collection

The Winter Boot Dilemma: My Journey with Jan & Jul

Two years ago, I set out to bring more winter gear options to Prince George, and honestly, that first winter didn’t go as planned. Despite introducing new styles from Jan & Jul, the feedback I received suggested that my selection missed the mark. It was a learning experience. The following winter, I decided not to restock Jan & Jul winter boots, thinking they weren’t the right fit for my customers.

But then, something interesting happened. As winter rolled around, customers started asking specifically for Jan & Jul boots, and I began seeing their ankle and tall puffy boots on kids around town. It was that moment of realization—you know, when it finally clicks that there’s a local option for something you’ve been searching for.

This year, I decided to take the leap. I’ve brought back a full range of Jan & Jul’s Toasty-Dry Tall Puffy Winter Boots, and I’m excited to share them with you

Introducing Jan & Jul's Toasty-Dry Tall Puffy Winter Boots

Available in four stunning colors—Winter Sun, Neon Peaks, Dusty Pink, and classic Black—these boots are designed to tackle the toughest winter conditions while keeping little feet warm, dry, and happy.

Why Choose Jan & Jul’s Toasty-Dry Boots?

With an extended height for added coverage, Jan & Jul's Toasty-Dry Tall Puffy Winter Boots are perfect for keeping out snow, slush, and all the messy elements winter throws our way. Built for adventurous kids, these boots feature lightweight insulation and rugged outsoles with deep tread lugs for all-terrain traction.

Easy On, Easy Off with Me-Put-On™ Technology:
Jan & Jul’s Me-Put-On™ Technology is a game changer for busy parents and independent toddlers. The easy Velcro closures allow your little ones to put their boots on all by themselves, giving them a sense of independence while ensuring a snug, secure fit. It’s perfect for those mornings when everyone’s in a rush to get out the door.

Eco-Friendly & Water Resistant:
Crafted from breathable, water-resistant fabric that’s free from PVC and harmful chemicals, these boots are not just practical but also eco-friendly. They’re designed to handle wet and muddy conditions while keeping feet dry, and the added mud guards make cleaning up as simple as wiping with a damp cloth.

A Few Things to Consider:

While these boots are fantastic, they do have a size limitation, available only up to size 11.5 (which fits like a 12). For bigger kids, I recommend checking out other options from Stonz or Emu Australia - Find them in the Winter Boot Collection, or visit us in College Heights.

Despite this, Jan & Jul’s Toasty-Dry Tall Puffy Winter Boots are a great value at just $55.99. Plus, you can mix and match them with other Jan & Jul gear like mittens and hats for a fully coordinated winter look!

So, if you're gearing up for winter, consider giving these boots a try. Not only will they keep your little adventurer warm and dry, but they’ll also help foster independence—one Velcro strap at a time.
