Baffin Unveils Wander: A Multi-Season Boot for Kids
Baffin, a trailblazer in advanced outerwear, has announced the launch of the WANDER, their newest children's boot. This versatile footwear is designed to keep up with kids' active lifestyles through all seasons. Built with an emphasis on both comfort and durability, the WANDER boot integrates cutting-edge technology familiar to Baffin's renowned adult lines, ensuring young adventurers can play outside without compromise.
Key Features of the WANDER Boot
One of the standout features of the WANDER is its mid-height construction, featuring a Hex-Flex® reinforced hexagonal nylon upper. This material not only enhances durability but also rip-resistance, ensuring that the boots withstand the rigors of play and exploration. The soft micro-fiber overlay, completed with a locking snow collar, protects little feet from harsh weather, while the drawstring and toggle mechanism at the ankle allow for a customized fit.
Lightweight Design for Easy Use
The innovative LiteGrip™ Blend outsole provides lightweight cushioning and superior grip, ensuring reliable traction on various surfaces, whether they are wet or dry. The non-marking sole is an added advantage, as it allows for seamless transitions from indoor activities to outdoor adventures. This makes the WANDER perfect for school days, backyard playtime, or even snowy weekend outings.
Engineered for Comfort and Warmth
Understanding the dynamic nature of children’s play, Baffin has engineered the WANDER with their Fixed-Fit multi-layer inner boot system. This system provides excellent insulation and wind protection. It features a Thermaplush™ layer for warmth, combined with a B-Tek™ Foam lining for comfort and a B-Tek™ Heat layer that ensures high-loft breathability and insulation across a broad range of temperatures. The PolyWool™ footbed offers additional warmth while remaining breathable—perfect for active kids.
Real-World Tested for Ultimate Performance
The WANDER boot has undergone rigorous testing, being rated Real-World Tested™ (RWT™) and Tundra Rated for use in extreme conditions, including temperatures ranging from -10°C to -30°C (14°F to -22°F). This assures parents that their kids can enjoy winter weather without compromising on comfort. The B-Tek™ Dry Waterproof Breathable technology further enhances the boot's capabilities, offering high wet protection without the weight disadvantage that often comes with winter footwear.
A Boot Designed for Kids, By Experts
Jessica Liut, Brand Director at Baffin, expressed the vision behind the WANDER: "As parents, we know how crucial it is for kids to explore the world regardless of the weather. We wanted to create a flexible boot that provides year-round comfort, allowing families to focus on what matters—playing, discovering, and creating memories together."
Available in vibrant colors such as Black, Blue, and Pink, the WANDER comes in sizes for toddlers (6-10), little kids (11-2), and big kids (3-4), making it accessible for children of all ages. Parents can find the WANDER boot at various North American retailers or online at Baffin.com for a retail price of $85 CAD / $90 USD.
