FAQs
Are these wellies suitable for snow?
While the wellies are waterproof and offer good traction, they are not insulated for extreme cold or deep snow. For optimal warmth in snowy conditions, we recommend wearing thick thermal socks.
How do I activate the glow-in-the-dark feature?
The glow-in-the-dark elements need to absorb light to glow. Expose the wellies to bright light (natural sunlight or artificial light) for a period of time before taking them into a dark environment.
What material are these wellies made from?
The main outer boot is made from vulcanised natural rubber for waterproofing and durability. The interior features a soft, natural cotton lining for comfort.
Are these wellies comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their EVA footbed and natural cotton lining, these wellies are designed to provide comfort for extended periods of play and exploration, as long as the temperature is suitable.
How should I store these wellies when not in use?
Store them upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources. Ensure they are clean and completely dry inside and out before storage to prevent degradation or odors.
Do these wellies have good grip on slippery surfaces?
Yes, the Regatta Foxfire Wellies feature a multi-directional cleated sole specifically designed to provide reliable underfoot stability and excellent grip on muddy, wet, and uneven terrain.
Troubleshooting
Glow-in-the-dark feature isn't working or is very dim.
The glow-in-the-dark material needs to be 'charged' by exposure to bright light. Leave the wellies in direct sunlight or under a strong artificial light source for at least 15-30 minutes before expecting them to glow in the dark.
My child's feet feel cold or damp inside the wellies.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks, especially in cooler weather, as these wellies are not insulated. If dampness persists, check the wellies carefully for small punctures or tears that might be allowing water in. Also, make sure they are fully dry inside before each use.
The wellies are difficult to clean or have persistent mud.
For stubborn mud, try using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a gentle soap with water. Rinse thoroughly. For dried mud, allow it to dry completely, then tap the wellies together to dislodge large pieces before cleaning with water.
The wellies have a strong rubber smell.
A slight rubber smell is normal for new wellies made from natural rubber. To reduce the smell, air them out in a well-ventilated area for a few days before first use. Do not store them in an enclosed space without ventilation.

Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Regatta Foxfire Wellies:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, rinse the wellies with clean water to remove dirt and mud. A soft brush or cloth can be used for stubborn grime. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the wellies to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight. Excessive heat can cause the rubber to crack or degrade over time. Ensure the inside is completely dry before storage to prevent odors or mildew.
- Storage: Store wellies in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing them, as this can weaken the rubber.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep the wellies away from oils, solvents, or strong chemicals, which can damage the natural rubber.
