Shipping and returns
Cinch it. Snow stays out.
The tall one goes on without laces: pull it on and cinch the cuff. The cinch lock holds it, so there's nothing to tie, and the snow stays out. Step on the heel tab to step out. The lugged rubber outsole grips on ice and slush.

Rated to -25°F and comfortable up to about +50°F. The foam, the removable liner and the cinch cuff work as one comfort control system.
Your normal size. Check your calf.
A tall boot gets two questions: what size, and will my calves fit. Both answers, plus the swap.
- Order your normal shoe size.The one you were before a new brand told you otherwise. Between sizes? Size down: going up is where heel slip comes from. US Women 5 to 13. US Men 4 to 14/15.
- Calves? Check the cuff.It gets roomier as the size goes up: about 19 inches around at M4/W5, 20 at M9/W10, 21.4 at M14/15, and the draw-cord cinches it down from there. Bigger calves than that? The Lo Rider stops lower on the leg.
- Called it wrong? Swap it.Exchanges are free for 30 days. Try them on indoors all you like. Once they've been worn outside, they can't come back.
What's new?
Rebuilt from the inside out. On a shaft this tall, the softer cuff is the change your shins notice first.
- Refined design
Sharper look. The toe cap sits flush now, and the cuff is softer on your shins.
- Next-gen EVA
We taught the foam to stay loose when it's freezing. Now they walk like boots, not bricks. Warmer, too.
- Removable liner, improved
The liner leveled up. Pull it out, wash it, let it dry, tuck it back in. It dries quickly.
- Liner retention tab
A little tab that keeps your liner home. You step out, it stays put.
- Support and cushioning
More boot under your feet where it counts. Your arches noticed.
Three people. One tall boot.
My daughter and I run a horse training business in northern Michigan. Lots of snow, frigid temps and long days outside. We both finally found the best boot!
Wore them for 6+ hours standing in the snow and cold at a skijoring event and I was one of the few not complaining about cold feet!
These boots arrived just in time for piles of lake effect snow to start falling in Oswego county NY… my feet were comfy, warm, and dry the whole time!
Common questions
The stuff people actually email us about.
What size should I order?
+
Start with your normal shoe size, the one you think you are before a new brand tells you otherwise. Want a second opinion? Stand on a piece of paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe, measure the distance in inches, and match that to our . Our boots are unisex sized: the chart shows men's and women's columns side by side because the same physical boot fits both. If you fall between sizes, see the half-size question below.
Do they run small or big?
+
True to size. Order your normal shoe size. Between sizes? Size down. If your closet can't agree on what size you are, measure your foot (see above) and let the chart break the tie.
I'm between sizes. Up or down?
+
Size down. Our liner is built thick and breaks in after a few wears, so a snug-not-squished fit out of the box settles to just-right. Going up is where too much heel slip comes from: if you can't walk normally once they've settled in, you went a step too big. Order the smaller of the two, and exchange free within 30 days if it's not quite right.
Do they fit wide feet?
+
The EVA shell doesn't compress around the sides the way leather does. We're still gathering wide-foot feedback on this season's boots, so if yours turn out snug, exchanges are free for 30 days.
Will they fit wide calves?
+
The Hi Flyer's cuff cinches with a draw-cord, and it gets roomier as the size goes up: about 19 inches around at M4/W5, 20 at M9/W10, 21.4 at M14/15. Pick your size and open Specs by size to see yours. If your calf runs bigger than that, the Lo Rider stops lower on the leg. Email hello@loonr.com with a measurement and we'll confirm.
Are they stiff to walk in?
+
No. We redesigned the EVA to flex in the cold, so the boots walk like boots instead of like blocks.
How warm are they?
+
Comfortable across a wide range, roughly -25°F to +50°F. The cold rating gets the headlines, but the EVA insulates without cooking your feet, so these hold up from deep winter through mud season and shoulder weather. (Assumes a sock, the liner in, and you moving around.) Customers wear them for snow shoveling, dog walks, eight-hour outdoor shifts, and the school run when the forecast can't decide which side of the bed to get out of.
psst. b-sideAre they waterproof?
+
Yes. We couldn't bear the name of one of nature's most waterproof birds if we weren't. The EVA shell doesn't absorb water, and the cinch cuff keeps snow out. Wet snow, slush, puddles, spring rain. All fine. Walk across a river and the boots will float; we still recommend not doing that.
psst. b-sideCan I buy replacement liners?
+
Yes. Liners are sold separately and size-matched to your boot (shop liners). A lot of customers buy a second pair so they can rotate liners for drying. If your dog chewed yours (it happens, we get the emails), email hello@loonr.com with a photo, we'll figure something out.
How long does shipping take?
+
Pairs are shipping now, earlier orders first. Standard ground delivery is 3 to 7 business days within the continental US once we ship. We'll send a tracking number when your order ships. All boots ship free, Alaska and Hawaii included. Smaller items (replacement liners, parts) ship for $12.99, or free once your order hits $80.
Returns and exchanges?
+
You have 30 days from the day your boots are delivered, and what counts is when you ask, not when the box gets back to us. Exchanges are free, both ways. Returns are free in the lower 48; from Alaska and Hawaii, we send a prepaid label and take its cost out of your refund. Boots should be unused, or worn only enough to figure out the fit (a couple of indoor laps around the house counts; a snowy outdoor walk doesn't). Once we send your label, get the box to the carrier within 14 days. Start a return at our Returns & Exchanges page and we'll walk you through it. Refunds usually land on your card within five business days, depending on your bank. Exchanges ship as soon as we process the inbound. Holiday orders placed November 25 through December 24 have until January 15.
The details
The Loon'r Hi Flyer is the tallest boot in the lineup. Slip-on shell, removable liner, rated to -25°F. Built for the muddy parking lot, the school drop-off in a slush storm, the walk your dog wants to take you on.
The Yuckproof Guarantee
12-month manufacturer's warranty on any boot that fails before you do. Covers cracking, separating soles, broken cinch hardware, leaks. Removable liners are covered for 90 days from delivery. Does not cover dogs. Does not cover lawnmowers. Submit a photo with your order number, we'll sort it.
Caring for your boots
Spray the EVA with the garden hose. The liner washes on gentle and hangs to dry; a fan speeds it up.
Keep the shell away from heat.
Don't stage your boots on the front step in July sun for the gram (the color holds up but UV is not their friend).

“I used to shovel snow barefoot before I found these.”
“No other boots have lived up to the hype, but these are everything people say they are.”
“These are great for clomping through the deep snow with my dog. My socks and feet stay dry now. Finally!”
“These are the best ‘shoveling the driveway after a huge storm’ boots ever.”
From owners of last season's Hi Flyer.
Born in a muddy parking lot.
March 2024, Silverton, Colorado
Mud season at its finest. Dogs, gear, late nights, and the unfussy winter boots we'd picked up on a trip to Japan, which quietly became the MVPs of the whole week. Light, warm, waterproof, no fuss. The boots that handled deep snow at noon and a muddy parking lot at midnight without missing a beat.
So we made our own. The Hi Flyer is the tall one, built for the conditions that made us obsessed in the first place.
Mike, founder
The whole storyThe rest of the flock
Keep a spare liner.
Wet day, dry liner.
Pull the damp one, drop in the spare and head back out while the first one airs out.
Washes easy.
Gentle cycle, then hang it to dry. A fan speeds it up.
Same boot, fresh inside.
The shell keeps going. The liner gets a refresh.
Give boring the boot.
The dog's third walk. The puddle dare. The porch hang that runs late. Slip them on and the answer is yes.
