FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, these boots feature `Isotex` waterproof footwear technology with a seam-sealed internal membrane bootee liner, and `Hydropel` water resistant technology, making them fully waterproof and resistant to splashes.
What age group are these boots designed for?
The Regatta Holcombe Mid Waterproof Junior Walking Boots are specifically designed for juniors and kids, suitable for their active outdoor adventures.
What activities are these boots suitable for?
These boots are ideal for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, trail walking, camping, general outdoor play, and exploring various terrains in different weather conditions.
Do these boots provide good grip?
Yes, the boots are equipped with a durable rubber outsole featuring angled lugs, which are designed to provide excellent grip and traction on varied and uneven surfaces.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
We recommend trying the boots on with typical outdoor socks. There should be a small gap (about a thumb's width) between your child's longest toe and the end of the boot to allow for growth and comfort.
How should I clean and care for these boots?
Clean boots by brushing off loose dirt and wiping with a damp cloth. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Periodically, reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to maintain performance. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated place.
Are these boots comfortable for long periods of wear?
Absolutely. The boots feature an `EVA comfort footbed` which provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, ensuring comfort for extended periods of walking and active play.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or wet inside the boots.
Ensure laces are properly tied to prevent water entry from the top. Check for any visible damage to the boot's exterior or membrane. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment if the `Hydropel` effect has diminished over time.
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
Verify the boot size is correct; too small or too large can cause issues. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate, moisture-wicking socks. Allow a brief 'break-in' period for the boots to conform to the child's feet. Check for any debris inside the boot.
Boots feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Clean the rubber outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt, mud, or small stones that can reduce grip. Check for excessive wear on the angled lugs; if they are significantly worn, the boot's traction will be compromised.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the boots.
Allow the boots to air out thoroughly after each use. Remove the EVA footbeds periodically to air them out separately. Consider using an odor-absorbing product or foot powder inside the boots to combat moisture and bacteria.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Wear & Sizing
When first using the boots, ensure a proper fit. Have your child try them on with the type of socks they typically wear for outdoor activities. There should be about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the boot. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for circulation and comfort. A brief 'break-in' period with short walks is recommended before longer adventures.

These boots are ideal for junior outdoor enthusiasts. They are compatible with a wide range of activities including:
- Hiking and trail walking
- School trips and outdoor education
- Camping and backpacking
- General outdoor play in varying weather conditions
They pair well with waterproof trousers, hiking socks, and other outdoor apparel designed for children.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Regatta Holcombe boots, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth or soft sponge with mild soap (if necessary) to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them using direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membranes.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to reapply a suitable footwear waterproofing treatment, especially after extensive use or washing, to maintain the `Hydropel` and `Isotex` performance. Follow the product instructions of the chosen treatment.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
