Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the EVA foam footbeds are removable, allowing you to replace them with orthotics or fresh insoles if needed.
Are these suitable for winter weather?
They are water-resistant and suitable for damp autumn or spring conditions, but they are not specifically insulated for deep snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures.
What does a gusseted tongue do?
A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, creating a barrier that prevents water, sand, and pebbles from entering through the laces.
Do I need to spray these with a protector?
While the membrane provides internal waterproofing, an external water-repellent spray can help prevent the nylon upper from 'wetting out' (absorbing surface water), which keeps the shoes lighter.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
Dirt can clog the fabric pores. Gently clean the upper with lukewarm water and a soft brush to restore breathability and performance.
Footbed feels loose or shifts
Ensure the footbed is correctly aligned within the shoe cavity and that no debris is trapped underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Cotswold Littledean shoes, proper maintenance is essential. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before storage; if they become saturated after a hike, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the waterproof membrane. When fitting, ensure there is a small amount of space at the toe to accommodate thicker hiking socks. Periodically check the EVA footbeds and remove them to shake out any fine sand or grit that may have slipped past the socks.
