Product Information
Full details
These Regatta Holcombe hiking shoes are designed for active kids who enjoy outdoor adventures like woodland walks and mini hikes. They offer crucial protection with toe and heel bumpers and cushioned support for comfort on uneven terrain, ensuring little feet stay protected and comfortable. A potential consideration is the mid-height design, which offers ankle support but may feel slightly more restrictive than low-cut shoes for some activities.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very young children who are just learning to walk?
While they offer good support, they are designed for more active outdoor use. For toddlers just learning to walk, a more flexible, low-cut shoe might be preferable. However, for active children aged 3+, they are suitable for gentle walks.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your child's foot length from heel to the tip of their longest toe. Compare this measurement to the Regatta sizing chart provided by the retailer to find the corresponding UK size.
Can these shoes be worn in cold weather?
The waterproof and insulating properties offer some protection in cold weather, but they are not specifically winter boots. For very cold or snowy conditions, consider adding thermal socks or a dedicated winter boot.
What is the difference between Isotex and Hydropel technology?
Isotex refers to the waterproof and breathable membrane that keeps feet dry from the inside out. Hydropel is a water-resistant treatment applied to the outer material to repel surface water and prevent the fabric from becoming saturated.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
Reapplication frequency depends on usage. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and the material is absorbing moisture, it's time to reapply a suitable treatment.
Are these machine washable?
No, these shoes are not machine washable. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the recommended method to preserve the materials and waterproof properties.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are not fully waterproof.
Ensure all laces are tied securely. Check for any damage to the Isotex membrane or Hydropel coating. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Child's feet feel wet inside.
Verify the shoes are the correct size and not too tight, which can affect breathability. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to dry completely between uses.
Traction seems poor on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole treads of mud and debris, as this can impede grip. The self-cleaning properties help, but manual cleaning might be needed after heavy use.
Shoes show signs of wear on the toe/heel.
The abrasion bumpers are designed to absorb this wear. For excessive damage, inspect the underlying material. Ensure the child is using them for their intended purpose.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a brush. Wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

- Waterproofing Maintenance: For sustained water repellency, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor footwear.
