Baffin launches Wander boots built for kids’ year-round adventure

Kids get a trusted new companion for every season as Baffin drops its most advanced lightweight and waterproof boot.

Engineered for the Real World

Baffin’s latest innovation, WANDER, is a kids’ boot designed to handle everything the outdoors can offer—from playground puddles to snowy trails. What sets WANDER apart is its use of technically advanced materials honed for durability, warmth, and easy slip-on performance.

The Hex-Flex reinforced hexagonal nylon upper delivers rip-resistance and longevity. The boot’s mid-height frame and robust build stand up to the demands of energetic children, while a soft micro-fibre overlay and locking snow collar keep out wind, snow, and rain. The custom fit is secured with a drawstring and toggle at the ankle, letting kids tighten or loosen the boots on their own for fast exits and quick play restarts.

As parents, this means gear that genuinely lasts through one winter—and into the next.

Advanced Comfort Systems Inside and Out

Built around the unpredictability of childhood adventure, the WANDER boot features Baffin’s multi-layer Fixed-Fit inner boot system. This design includes:

• Thermaplush layer: Wicks moisture away from feet for all-day warmth and dryness.

• B-Tek Foam lining: Offers soft, form-fitting comfort.

• B-Tek Heat insulation: Lightweight and breathable for a wide range of conditions.

• Fixed PolyWool polyester wool blend footbed: Delivers cushioned, breathable warmth with no removable parts to lose.

At the base, a LiteGrip Blend outsole brings lightweight, non-marking traction for everything from icy sidewalks to school corridors. The result is a boot that keeps pace with busy feet whether they’re headed to class or trekking up neighborhood snowbanks.

Waterproof and Winter-Tested for Active Play

The WANDER boot boasts B-Tek Dry Waterproof Breathable technology, a powerful system that blocks out wetness while allowing for comfortable airflow—a huge win for families balancing warmth and sweat prevention. Real-World Tested (RWT) “Tundra Rated” certification means this boot is shown to work at -10°C to -30°C (14°F to -22°F) in expedition and field conditions, providing reliable comfort during vigorous activity or winter downtime.

Jessica Liut, Brand Director at Baffin, said, “As parents, we know how important it is for kids to be able to explore without worrying about the weather. That’s why we created WANDER – a flexible boot that offers year-round protection and comfort. From playgrounds to trails, they give kids the same confidence we, as parents rely on, so families can focus on what really matters: playing, discovering, and making memories together.”

Style, Fit, and Buying Options

WANDER boots come in three versatile colors—Black, Blue, and Pink—and a wide array of sizes: Toddler (6–10), Little Kid (11–2), and Big Kid (3–4). The slip-on design is a huge advantage for busy mornings or independent little ones, while the lightweight build supports long days of play without heavy, clunky boots slowing kids down.

Available now for $85 CAD/$90 USD, parents across North America can find WANDER boots through Baffin retailers or order directly at Baffin’s website.
