Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Try On Correctly: Ensure your child wears appropriate socks (e.g., hiking socks) when trying on the boots. Check for a snug fit without being too tight, allowing room for toe wiggling.
- Lace Adjustment: Teach your child how to properly lace and tie the boots for optimal ankle support and to prevent tripping.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for junior feet, with a size of UK Junior 2. They are suitable for various outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, school trips, and general everyday adventures, providing protection in diverse weather conditions. They pair well with waterproof trousers or gaiters for enhanced protection in very wet environments.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents that can damage the waterproof membrane or synthetic leather.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing Recharge: Over time, the outer synthetic leather may lose some water repellency. Consider applying a suitable waterproof treatment spray designed for synthetic footwear to maintain performance.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
