FAQs
Are these shoes completely waterproof?
Yes, they feature a fully waterproof membrane specifically designed to keep feet dry in challenging outdoor conditions.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash hiking shoes as this can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth.
Are the footbeds removable?
Yes, the EVA foam footbeds are removable, which makes it easy to clean or air them out separately.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from durable, water-resistant nylon.
What is a gusseted tongue?
A gusseted tongue is stitched to the sides of the shoe, creating a barrier that prevents water, grit, and pebbles from entering through the lace gap.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too tight or uncomfortable
Check the thickness of the socks being worn and ensure the tongue is centered and not bunched up under the laces.
Accumulation of moisture inside
If moisture occurs after a long day, remove the EVA footbeds and let the shoes air out in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.
Debris getting inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tied snugly to keep the gusseted tongue secure against the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Cotswold Littledean hiking shoes, proper care is essential.
- Cleaning: After muddy adventures, allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane. Brush off dried dirt using a soft-bristled brush.
- Maintenance: You may remove the EVA footbeds to let the inside of the shoe air out after long days of use.
- Fitment: These shoes are sized in UK children's sizing. Ensure your child is wearing the appropriate thickness of hiking socks to get an accurate fit, especially since the waterproof membrane can make the internal space feel more secure than a standard shoe.
