Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting your child ready for adventure with their Regatta Splash Wellies is straightforward:
- Select the Correct Size: Ensure you have chosen the UK Infant 12 size for the best fit. A proper fit is snug but allows for comfortable movement of toes and accommodates socks.
- Wear Appropriate Socks: Opt for comfortable, moisture-wicking socks to enhance comfort, especially during extended wear.
- Put Them On: Simply slide your child's foot into the welly. Ensure trousers are tucked in to prevent them from getting wet.
Compatibility
- Environments: Ideal for wet, muddy, and damp outdoor conditions. Suitable for grass, mud, puddles, light snow, and general garden use.
- Activities: Perfect for outdoor play, nature walks, gardening, forest school, and rainy-day outings.
- Weather: Best suited for cool to mild, wet weather. Avoid prolonged use in very hot, dry conditions due to limited breathability.
Care
Proper care extends the life of your wellies:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in mud, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth or rinse under cool running water. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow wellies to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the material to crack or deform. Place them upside down or at an angle to allow air circulation inside.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the wellies to maintain their shape.
- Odour Prevention: If an odour develops, clean the inside with a mild soap solution and allow to air dry thoroughly. Baking soda can also be used to absorb smells.
