Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable initially

This is common with new leather boots. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods daily around the house to help soften the leather. You can also apply a leather conditioner specifically for patent leather if recommended by the manufacturer.

Scuffs or marks appear on the glossy patent leather

Gently wipe the scuff with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of patent leather cleaner on a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can dull the finish. A silicone-based polish can help reduce the appearance of minor scuffs.

Difficulty putting the boots on or taking them off

Ensure the laces are sufficiently loosened, especially around the ankle area. Always fully unzip the inside zipper before attempting to put on or remove the boots. The inside zip is designed for ease of use.

Squeaking sound from the sole

New AirWair soles can sometimes squeak. This often resolves itself with wear. If it persists, a thin layer of baby powder or petroleum jelly applied to the edges of the sole where it meets the leather can sometimes help.

  • Gender: Features a unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
  • Occasion: Versatile for school, casual outings, and everyday wear, pairing well with various children's clothing styles.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning Patent Leather: To clean the Patent Lamper leather, wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution (like saddle soap) and a soft cloth, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Polishing: Use a patent leather cleaner or a silicone-based product specifically designed for patent leather to maintain the high-shine finish and protect the surface. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
  • Drying: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
