Full details

Featuring durable vulcanized rubber and safety-focused visibility technology, these boots provide excellent support and traction for rainy days, though the rubber construction means they lack the breathability found in standard sneakers.

FAQs
Are these boots insulated?
No, the Regatta Foxfire Wellingtons feature a standard rubber construction and are not lined with fleece or thermal insulation.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure the child's foot from the heel to the longest toe while they are standing, and compare it against our size conversion charts, allowing a little extra room for thick socks.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the rubber and the reflective components. Clean them by hand with water and a mild detergent.
What is the benefit of vulcanized rubber?
Vulcanized rubber is treated to be more durable, heat-resistant, and completely waterproof compared to standard molded plastics.
Are these suitable for hiking?
They are ideal for short walks and muddy trails due to their grip, but for long-distance mountain hiking, dedicated walking boots are recommended for better ankle support.
How long does the NIGHTGLOW feature last?
The reflective elements are built into the design and will maintain their reflective properties for the lifetime of the boot, provided the surface is kept clean.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on the inside
Ensure the child is wearing moisture-wicking or cotton socks, and ensure the interior is completely dry before wearing.
Difficulty putting the boots on
If the boots feel tight at the ankle, ensure the child is pointing their toes downward during insertion, or use a thin pair of socks to reduce friction.
Mud buildup in the outsoles
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the angled lugs once the mud has dried to restore maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These wellingtons are ready for immediate use out of the box. To ensure a comfortable fit, ensure children wear appropriate socks to prevent rubbing.
Care Instructions:
- Rinse off excess mud and debris with clean water after each use.
- Allow the boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the rubber.
- If the interior gets wet, stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain the boot shape.
- Store in a cool, dark place to preserve the integrity of the rubber.
