FAQs
Are these boots machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the waterproof integrity.
Can these be used for heavy snow?
These are designed for light outdoor use and walks; they are not rated for deep snow or extreme arctic conditions.
Do the boots fit true to size?
They generally follow standard UK children's sizing, though we recommend wearing them with hiking socks to gauge the best fit.
Is the boot material breathable?
Yes, the mesh panels integrated into the synthetic upper allow for airflow while maintaining the waterproof barrier.
How do I replace the bungee laces?
The bungee system is integrated into the design; if damaged, standard elastic laces from a local store can be used as a replacement.
Can I apply waterproofing sprays?
Yes, you can apply a standard water-repellent spray designed for synthetic footwear to maintain surface water beading.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel loose around the ankle
Adjust the bungee lacing tension further and ensure the touch-fastening strap is pulled snug against the padded collar.
Accumulation of debris inside the boot
Check that the tongue is centered properly before tightening the fasteners, as this creates a better seal against dirt.
Loss of grip on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole with a stiff brush to remove any trapped mud or stones that may be obstructing the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for these boots; simply adjust the bungee cords to the desired tension for the first use and secure the touch-fastening strap. To maintain their waterproof performance, ensure the boots are cleaned regularly. Remove dried mud using a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing as this can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or cause the sole bonding to fail.
