FAQs

Are these boots truly waterproof?

Yes, these boots feature Regatta's Isotex waterproof technology and Hydropel water repellent treatment, designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions, including rain and puddles.

What kind of activities are these boots suitable for?

They are ideal for various outdoor activities such as hiking, walking on trails, camping, exploring parks, and general outdoor play where waterproof and supportive footwear is beneficial.

How do I clean these boots?

Brush off loose dirt after use. For tougher dirt, wipe with a soft cloth or sponge and lukewarm water. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh cleaning agents.

Do I need to re-waterproof them?

Over time and with use, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it using a suitable footwear waterproofing spray designed for waterproof and breathable materials.

What size is 'UK Infant 12' equivalent to?

UK Infant 12 refers to a specific foot size for young children. It's best to consult a Regatta or general shoe size chart to compare it with other sizing systems (e.g., EU, US) or to measure your child's foot directly for the best fit.

Are these boots breathable?

Yes, despite being waterproof, the Isotex technology allows moisture vapor from perspiration to escape, helping to keep your child's feet fresh and comfortable during activity.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp or wet inside the boot.

First, ensure the boots are clean and the waterproofing hasn't been compromised by dirt. Check if socks are cotton (which can retain moisture); opt for moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks. If issues persist, consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment suitable for waterproof footwear.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

These boots may require a short 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for shorter periods around the house or on light walks before embarking on longer adventures. Ensure the lacing isn't too tight and that the child is wearing appropriate, well-fitting socks.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

While the angled lugs provide good traction, extreme conditions (e.g., slick ice, very fine loose gravel) can challenge any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that might reduce grip. Supervise children closely in highly slippery environments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for all-weather comfort.
  • Superior cushioning for extended wear and active play.
  • Enhanced ankle support and protection with the mid-height design.
  • Reliable traction on varied terrains thanks to the specialized outsole.
  • Durable construction designed for active kids.

Cons

  • Mid-height design might be slightly warmer in very hot conditions compared to low-cut shoes.
  • Requires proper cleaning to maintain waterproofing and breathability.
  • Specific sizing (UK Infant 12) may limit immediate versatility for rapidly growing feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
