FAQs
What does 'Amphibiox' mean in relation to these boots?
Amphibiox is Geox's technology that provides a breathable yet waterproof membrane, offering protection against various weather conditions. It aims to keep feet dry and comfortable.
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
These boots offer good protection for general wear. While they have lining and are designed for comfort, they may not be insulated enough for extreme cold. Check the specific lining materials for insulation properties.
How do I know if I'm choosing the correct size?
Refer to Geox's sizing chart and measure your child's foot length. It's recommended to have a small amount of growing room, typically around 1-1.5 cm, in children's footwear.
Can the insoles be removed or replaced?
The insole is typically made from a blend of EVA and rubber for cushioning and is not designed for easy removal or replacement. However, if a specific medical insole is required, consult with a shoe fitting specialist.
What is the warranty on Geox boots?
Geox generally offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy and Geox's official warranty information for details, typically covering a period like one year from the date of purchase.
Are these boots machine washable?
No, these boots should not be put in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproofing features. Always follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new footwear. Encourage the child to wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The materials will soften with wear.
Scuff marks appearing on the outsole.
While designed to be non-marking, excessive friction or abrasive surfaces might cause minor marks. Try cleaning the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
Difficulty in cleaning specific material areas (e.g., nubuck).
Use a dedicated suede brush for nubuck sections. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by brushing once dry. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Water seeping into the boots.
Amphibiox technology offers a degree of water resistance, but the boots are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider specialized waterproof footwear. Ensure the boots are dried thoroughly after exposure to moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These boots require no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct fit for the child. If they feature laces, ensure they are tied securely but not too tightly. If they have hook-and-loop fasteners, adjust them for a snug fit.
Compatibility: Geox Amphibiox boots are designed for general children's footwear needs and are compatible with most everyday activities. They are suitable for casual wear, school, and moderate outdoor exploration.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the leather and synthetic parts using a soft, damp cloth. For nubuck areas, a specialized suede brush can be used to remove dirt and restore texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and ensure the non-marking properties are maintained.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in their original box or a breathable bag to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
