FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
The Tracker Boot AT offers good protection against the elements and will keep feet dry. For extreme cold, consider adding a warm, moisture-wicking sock liner.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing guide, which typically involves measuring the child's foot length and comparing it to their size chart. Ensure there is a little room for growth and movement.
Can these boots be worn indoors?
While designed for outdoor exploration, the flexible sole allows for natural movement, making them comfortable for occasional indoor wear. However, they are primarily intended for outdoor use.
What is the best way to clean mud off the boots?
Allow mud to dry slightly, then brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For remaining dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
How often should I re-waterproof the boots?
Re-waterproofing frequency depends on usage. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, it's time to reapply a waterproofing treatment, typically every few months with regular use.
Are the recycled textiles used in the boot machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash the boots, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and leather components. Hand-cleaning is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Boots appear to be leaking.
Ensure the waterproof treatment is up-to-date. Check for any physical damage to the leather or rubber vamp. Clean the boots thoroughly and reapply a waterproofing agent suitable for leather. Allow to dry completely before next use.
Child finds them uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size is being worn and that socks are not bunching. Allow for a short break-in period, as the flexible sole encourages natural movement which may feel different initially.
Leather looks dry or scuffed.
Clean the boots gently with a damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner or beeswax-based product specifically designed for footwear to restore moisture and protect the leather. Buff gently after application.
