Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots truly waterproof?

Yes, they are designed with a waterproof construction to keep feet dry in wet conditions like rain and puddles. However, prolonged submersion may eventually allow water ingress.

How do I clean the shearling insole?

The shearling insole can typically be removed. For cleaning, use a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or odors, mild soap and water can be used, followed by thorough air drying away from heat.

What is the benefit of the barefoot design?

The barefoot design allows the foot to move and function naturally, promoting better balance, strengthening foot muscles, and enhancing proprioception (ground feel), which is beneficial for healthy foot development.

Can my child wear these in very cold weather?

Yes, the boots feature a cozy shearling insole which provides warmth. They are suitable for cold weather, especially when paired with appropriate winter socks.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

Ensure there is a little space (about a thumb's width) at the front of the boot when standing. The heel should not lift excessively when walking, and the child should be able to wiggle their toes freely.

What age group are these boots intended for?

These boots are designed for kids, suitable for various ages of young explorers who are active and enjoy outdoor adventures.

Are the recycled materials used in this boot durable?

Yes, the recycled textiles are chosen for their durability to withstand the rigors of outdoor play while adhering to sustainable principles.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable

This is common for new barefoot shoes. Allow for a break-in period of a few days to a week. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks. Adjust the toggle and drawstring for a secure but non-restrictive fit.

Water seeping into the boots

Check the integrity of the waterproof membrane and seals. Ensure the toggle and drawstring collar are fully tightened to prevent water entry from the top. Clean any mud or debris from the seams. For prolonged submersion, water may still enter.

Traction seems reduced on smooth surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For very smooth or wet surfaces, extra caution may be needed, as with any footwear.

Difficulty pulling boots on

Utilize the integrated help loops. Loosen the elastic toggle and drawstring collar as much as possible before attempting to pull them on. Ensure the child's foot is angled correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the child tries them on with appropriate socks to check for a comfortable fit. Adjust the elastic toggle and drawstring collar to secure the boot snugly but without restriction.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard children's socks. Designed for general outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, and playground play. They are suitable for various weather conditions due to their waterproof nature.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Waterproofing: The waterproof membrane should maintain its effectiveness with proper care. Avoid prolonged submersion in water.
  4. Materials: For leather components, consider using a specific leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple. Ensure the fabric is clean and dry before storage.
