FAQs
Are these boots lined for warmth?
The Foxfire Wellingtons are designed primarily for waterproofing; we recommend wearing thick wool or thermal socks for added warmth in cold weather.
How do I know the correct size?
We recommend measuring your child's foot with a sock on and choosing a size that allows for a small amount of wiggle room for comfort.
Can these be machine washed?
No, you should never machine wash rubber wellingtons as it can damage the vulcanisation and structural integrity of the boot.
What is the Nightglow technology?
This is a reflective material integrated into the boot that glows or reflects light, helping improve the visibility of the wearer in low-light conditions.
Are the insoles removable?
Most models feature standard insoles; if they become damp, you can remove them to dry separately to ensure the interior of the boot dries out completely.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on the inside
Ensure the child is wearing moisture-wicking socks, as rubber boots do not breathe and can cause sweat accumulation.
Visible white bloom on the rubber surface
This is a natural process called blooming caused by oils in the rubber. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or use a dedicated rubber care spray to restore the shine.
Boots are difficult to pull off
Use a boot jack or simply ensure the heel is firmly held while the child pulls their foot out, as the snug fit is essential for waterproofing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Foxfire Wellingtons last throughout the season, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Sizing: These boots are sized for children and should be worn with medium-thickness socks to ensure a comfortable fit.
- Cleaning: After use in muddy conditions, rinse the exterior with clean water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the vulcanised rubber over time.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not place them on radiators or in direct heat, as extreme temperatures can cause the rubber to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store the boots standing upright in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from creasing or losing its shape.
