FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The barefoot design inherently offers a wider toe box, promoting natural foot spread. The adjustable toggle and drawstring allow for some customization of fit.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the boot when the child is standing. The heel should not slip excessively when walking.

Can these boots be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Hand wash gently as per the care instructions.

What is the 'barefoot' design?

A barefoot shoe aims to mimic the experience of walking barefoot. This means a zero-drop sole (no heel lift), a wide toe box for natural foot splay, and a thin, flexible sole for maximum ground feel.

How often should I reapply waterproofing?

Reapplication frequency depends on usage. After heavy use, significant cleaning, or if you notice water penetration, it's advisable to reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment.

What materials are used in the Green Mountain print?

The boots are made from recycled textiles and feature a rubber vamp. The specific print is co-created with Vivobarefoot and celebrates the outdoors.

Troubleshooting

Boots seem too stiff initially

This is common with new barefoot shoes. Encourage gradual wear to allow the materials to soften and mold to the child's foot. Flexibility will increase with use.

Water is leaking into the boots

Ensure the toggle and drawstring collar are tightened properly to seal out moisture. Check for any damage to the outer material or seams. Reapply waterproofing spray if necessary.

Difficulty pulling boots on

Utilize the integrated help loops. Ensure the elastic toggle and drawstring collar are loosened before attempting to put the boot on.

Insole feels too warm in mild weather

The shearling insole provides warmth. For milder conditions, consider replacing it with a thinner, breathable insole if preferred, ensuring it does not compromise the barefoot feel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for all weather adventures.
  • Promotes natural foot movement with a flexible, barefoot design.
  • Durable construction suitable for rough outdoor play.
  • Warm and comfortable thanks to the shearling insole.
  • Easy for children to manage independently.

Cons

  • Barefoot design may require a transition period for some children.
  • Specific cleaning instructions are necessary to maintain waterproofness.
  • May not offer the same level of ankle support as traditional boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots require no specific setup. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the toggle and drawstring for a snug fit.

Compatibility: Designed for unisex children's sizes, these boots are compatible with active play across all seasons and terrains. They pair well with outdoor clothing like waterproof jackets and snow pants.

Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and longevity of the boots:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or fires). Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Waterproofing: Periodically reapply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for footwear to ensure continued water resistance, especially after significant wear or cleaning.
