FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
The Tracker Boot AT is designed for all seasons. For very cold weather, pairing them with warm wool socks can provide excellent insulation. The waterproof nature also helps keep feet dry, which is crucial for warmth.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It's recommended to measure your child's foot and consult the Vivobarefoot sizing chart. Barefoot shoes often fit differently than conventional shoes, so precise measurement is key to ensuring a proper, comfortable fit that allows for natural foot splay.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the waterproof membranes and adhesives. Cleaning should be done by hand using cool water and a soft brush or cloth.
What does 'barefoot shoe' mean in relation to these boots?
Barefoot shoes are designed to mimic the experience of being barefoot. They typically feature a thin, flexible sole, a wide toe box for natural foot splay, and zero heel drop. This promotes natural foot movement and strength.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The longevity of the waterproofing depends on usage and care. With proper cleaning and occasional reapplication of water-repellent treatments, the waterproof features can last for a significant period, maintaining effectiveness through regular wear.
What is the warranty period for these boots?
Please refer to the retailer or Vivobarefoot's official website for current warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Boots appear to be leaking water.
Check that all closures are secured properly. Inspect the boot for any visible damage to the seams or the waterproof membrane. Ensure you are drying the boots naturally and not using heat. If damage is present, consider contacting customer support.
Difficulty putting the boots on.
Ensure the tongue is fully accessible and not caught. Loosen any laces or closures if applicable. Make sure the child's foot is positioned correctly within the boot. For initial wears, a bit more effort may be required as the materials break in.
Reduced flexibility or stiffness.
New boots may feel stiffer initially. Regular wear will help break in the flexible materials. Ensure the boots are not overly wet or exposed to extreme drying conditions, which can affect material suppleness.
Mud or debris stuck in treads.
Use a stiff brush or a pointed tool (like a twig or key) to carefully dislodge any compacted mud or debris from the sole's tread pattern to ensure optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Tracker Boot AT is designed for general outdoor use and is compatible with a wide range of activities. It functions well with various types of socks, including wool blends for extra warmth in colder conditions.
Care: To maintain the waterproof capabilities and longevity of the boots:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt. For more stubborn mud or stains, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to apply a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for footwear materials like leather and textiles, following the product's instructions. This helps maintain the boot's resistance to water.
