FAQs

What age group are these boots suitable for?

These boots are specifically designed for toddlers and pre-walkers, ideal for children who are beginning to crawl or take their first steps.

How do I clean the tan nubuck material?

You should wipe the boots clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking and allow them to air dry naturally. For tougher marks, use a specialized nubuck eraser.

Are these boots waterproof?

The product description indicates they are made of nubuck leather and are best for dry conditions. They are not designed to be waterproof.

What does 'F-standard fit' mean?

F-standard fit generally refers to a medium width, suitable for a majority of children's feet. If your child has very wide or narrow feet, these may not be the ideal fit.

How do the rip-tape straps work?

The two rip-tape straps allow for easy adjustment and a secure fastening. You simply peel them open and press them down to secure the boot on your child's foot.

Can these boots be worn with socks?

Yes, they can be worn with thin socks. Ensure the socks do not bunch up inside the boot, as this could affect the fit and comfort.

What is the main benefit of the flexible sole?

The super flexible, lightweight sole provides maximum sensory feedback, helping toddlers develop better balance, coordination, and natural foot movement as they explore.

Troubleshooting

Boots are difficult to put on.

Loosen the rip-tape straps completely and gently ease the child's foot into the boot. Ensure the tongue is fully extended before insertion.

Child seems uncomfortable.

Check that the straps are not too tight. Ensure the foot is sitting flat inside the boot and that there are no creases or obstructions. The F-standard fit may not be suitable for all foot shapes.

Nubuck leather looks scuffed or marked.

Use a clean, dry nubuck brush or eraser to gently lift the nap and remove light marks. For deeper stains, consult a professional shoe care guide for nubuck.

Sole appears stiff.

The sole is designed to be flexible. It may feel stiffer when brand new and will become more pliable with wear. Gently flex the shoe to help break it in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
