Setup
- Socks First: Ensure your infant is wearing comfortable socks. Thicker cotton or wool socks can provide extra cushioning and help manage moisture.
- Open Wide: Gently widen the leg opening of the boot.
- Guide Foot: Carefully slide your infant's foot into the boot, ensuring their heel settles firmly at the back.
- Check Fit: Press down on the toe area to ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the boot. This allows for growth and comfortable movement.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for wet and muddy outdoor conditions. They are compatible with various outdoor activities like puddle jumping, garden play, and walking on damp terrain. They are not designed for extreme cold or snow, as they lack insulation. Best worn with socks that provide warmth and absorb moisture.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes that could damage the rubber.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or degrade.
- Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
- Blooming: White marks, known as 'blooming,' may appear on the rubber. This is a natural process of high-quality rubber and can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth or a silicone buffer spray designed for rubber footwear.
