FAQs
Are these boots suitable for snow?
While waterproof, these boots are not insulated for extreme cold or deep snow. They are best suited for wet, muddy, and cool conditions. For very cold temperatures, additional insulated footwear would be more appropriate.
How do I know I've chosen the right size for my child?
Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the boot. The heel should feel secure with minimal slipping. It's best to try them on with the type of socks your child typically wears.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, these boots should not be machine washed. Machine washing can damage the leather, waterproof construction, and overall integrity of the boot. Follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the care section.
What kind of socks should my child wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic materials or wool. Avoid cotton socks, especially for active use, as they retain moisture.
How long do these boots typically last?
The lifespan of the boots depends on the frequency of use, activity level, and care. With proper maintenance, the durable leather and construction are designed to withstand regular active use for several seasons.
Do these boots come with a warranty?
Info needed: Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty policy for specific details.
Are these boots heavy for a child?
While they feature robust construction, the EVA midsole helps keep them relatively lightweight for their durability and protection. However, they will be heavier than typical sneakers due to the leather and lug sole.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
These boots, being leather, may require a short break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for shorter durations indoors before extended outdoor use.
Feet feel damp inside despite waterproof claims.
Ensure laces are tied snugly to prevent water from entering the top of the boot. Check for any damage to the leather or seams. Also, consider the type of socks worn; non-wicking cotton socks can make feet feel damp from sweat. Opt for moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks.
Boots are difficult to clean after heavy mud exposure.
Allow mud to dry completely, then gently brush off large clumps with a stiff brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner for remaining residue. Finish with a leather conditioner.
Outsole traction seems reduced.
Inspect the rubber lug outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly. If wear is significant, the boots may be reaching the end of their lifespan for optimal traction.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure laces are tied with a double knot. If laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new, durable boot laces.

Setup & Wearing: 1. Lacing: Fully unlace the boots to comfortably insert the foot. 2. Fit: Ensure the child's toes have enough room to wiggle, but the heel feels secure. 3. Tightening: Lace up firmly, but not too tightly, to provide support without restricting circulation. The padded collar should sit comfortably around the ankle. Compatibility: These junior boots are designed for unisex wear and are suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. They pair well with various casual and outdoor clothing, from jeans and cargo pants to waterproof trousers. Their durable nature makes them compatible with diverse weather conditions, particularly wet and muddy environments. Care & Maintenance: * Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher mud, use a soft brush. * Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack or damage the leather. * Leather Care: Periodically treat the premium full-grain leather with a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. A waterproofing spray can also be applied to maintain the water-resistant properties, although the boots are seam-sealed waterproof. * Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
