FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
The Gillon II boots offer good protection against the elements and are insulated to keep feet warm in moderate cold. For extreme sub-zero conditions, additional thermal socks or more heavily insulated winter boots might be necessary.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the boot when standing. The heel should not lift excessively when walking. It's advisable to try them on with the type of socks the child will typically wear.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Clean them manually with a damp cloth.
What is the warranty period for these boots?
Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's specific warranty information for details on coverage and duration.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. While they offer a standard fit, the padded collar and adjustable lacing allow for some customization. Trying them on is the best way to determine suitability for wide feet.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
Reapply waterproofing treatment as needed, typically after several cleans or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Follow the instructions on the specific treatment product you use.
Troubleshooting
Boots seem tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Wear with appropriate thickness socks and allow a short break-in period by wearing them for brief periods indoors before longer excursions.
Water seeping into the boots
Check that the tongue is properly seated and gusseted. Ensure laces are tied snugly. Inspect boots for any damage to the waterproof membrane or seams. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole treads to remove any mud or debris that may be reducing grip. Ensure the boots are not excessively worn. Consider the conditions; extreme mud or ice may challenge any tread pattern.
