Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- First Fit: Ensure the boots are tried on with appropriate walking socks to check for a comfortable fit. There should be a thumb's width of space at the toe and no pressure points.
- Lacing: Teach children or assist them in lacing the boots securely but not too tightly. A double knot can prevent laces from coming undone during play.
Compatibility
These boots are designed for kids (specifically UK Infant Size 12). They are compatible with various outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, and general outdoor play in diverse weather conditions. They are suitable for use with standard athletic or hiking socks.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Regatta Holcombe boots:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth or sponge with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry with direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the Hydropel treatment may need replenishing. Consider using a suitable water-repellent spray specifically designed for waterproof footwear to maintain optimal performance.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
