Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather construction offers some protection against light rain, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in puddles.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines will damage the leather and the structure of the boots. Clean them only with a damp cloth.
Do these come in other colors?
The Astrol Orin series is primarily available in black for its versatile school-ready design.
What kind of socks should my child wear with these?
Cotton or bamboo-blend socks are recommended to complement the synthetic lining and keep feet comfortable.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are fixed within the boot to maintain stability and structural integrity.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the boot to allow for natural foot growth.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes stuck or difficult to slide
Check for debris or trapped fabric in the zip teeth and clear it; a small amount of wax or graphite can help smooth a stiff zipper.
Boots showing visible scuffs
Apply a matching black leather cream or polish to hide abrasions and restore the finish.
Interior lining feels damp after long wear
Remove the boots when indoors for extended periods or ensure they are stored in a ventilated area to allow the lining to dry out completely overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the leather, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust. If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather. Use a suitable leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. For the best fit, ensure the child is wearing appropriate cotton socks, as the synthetic lining is most effective when paired with breathable hosiery.
