Current Stonz Trek Toddler and Trek Kid product pages describe a removable full liner, and their care instructions also say to remove the insole for air drying. Current Stonz Original and Retro rain-boot pages list a textile lining and 3 mm EVA insole but do not call either part removable. The exact model determines what should come out.
A liner is a boot-shaped inner layer, a lining is material attached inside the shell, and an insole is the footbed under the foot. Those words are not interchangeable. Do not pull out an insole unless your model's care instructions say to.

Take Trek's removable parts out to dry
Stonz's current Trek Toddler and Trek Kid pages both say the removable liner lifts out to air, dry and wash. The care sections also instruct owners to remove the insole and air dry it, and not to tumble dry the boot.
For a wet Trek that matches one of those current model instructions, remove the full liner and the insole as directed. Give the outer boot and both removable components open air until they are dry. Reassemble the dry components according to the instructions for your model.
Before pulling parts from a Trek already at home, check the product code or sewn-in care label against the instructions for that exact pair. A similar family name is not enough to establish the inner construction.
Original and Retro use a different care route
The current Stonz Original Rain Boot and Retro Rain Boot pages list a soft textile lining and 3 mm EVA insole. Neither page states that those parts are removable.
For these rain boots, follow the maker's warm-water and mild-detergent cleaning route, rinse away mud or road salt, and let a wet inner lining air dry. Do not pull on the lining or footbed based on instructions written for Trek.
The Stonz Retro Rain Boots are a current store option for this simpler rain-boot route. Their lower-cut shaft is a separate buying consideration from whether the inner system is removable.
Which routine is more useful?
A removable liner is useful when winter boots often come home wet inside and the household has space to dry several components. The trade-off is that those parts must be kept together and returned according to the maker's model-specific instructions before the next wear.
For a rain boot with no parts identified for removal, the whole boot needs enough open time for the interior to air dry. That can be the simpler routine when the primary job is rain and mud rather than an insulated winter boot.
Use the current product name before applying any care instruction, especially because older Stonz pages may describe a different construction under a similar family name. Browse footwear and socks after deciding whether removable inner parts are a requirement or merely a preference.
