FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the premium nubuck leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these boots are not explicitly described as waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, additional waterproofing treatment is recommended.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to Timberland's official sizing chart. Remember to account for the type of socks they will wear. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the boot.
What is nubuck leather?
Nubuck leather is a top-grain leather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain side (outside) to give it a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface. It is durable but requires specific care to maintain its appearance.
How do I clean the lug outsole?
To clean the lug outsole, use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with warm water and a mild soap. This will help remove dirt and maintain optimal traction.
Can these boots be worn in winter?
The durable construction and lug outsole make them suitable for cooler weather and provide good traction on varied surfaces. However, they do not feature specific insulation for extreme cold. For very cold temperatures, consider pairing with warm socks.
What is the best way to break in these boots?
Wear the boots for short periods, increasing the duration over time. This allows the leather to soften and conform to your child's foot shape. Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent excessive rubbing.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
New leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Proper lacing can also help improve comfort. If discomfort persists, check sizing.
Nubuck leather looks dull or stained
Regularly brush the nubuck with a specialized brush to remove dirt and restore its texture. For stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner, following the product instructions carefully. Applying a protective spray can prevent future stains.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure the laces are threaded securely through all eyelets and tied with a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality boot laces.

- Lace Up: Starting from the bottom eyelets, feed the laces through, pulling them snug but not too tight. Make sure the tongue is centered.
- Secure: Use the brass-look eyelets to secure the laces up to the top, then tie a double knot to prevent loosening during activity.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your nubuck leather boots, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt and dust with a soft brush specifically designed for nubuck. For tougher stains, use a nubuck cleaner and follow the product's instructions.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for nubuck leather to protect against moisture and spills. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or heavy use.
- Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not use saddle soap or oil-based cleaners, as these can damage nubuck.
