Product Information
Full details
The Cotswold Littledean hiking shoes are purpose-built for active children who enjoy outdoor exploration and trail walking. These shoes provide the critical benefit of a fully waterproof construction to keep feet dry during wet-weather outings, though the nylon upper requires regular cleaning to maintain its water-resistant properties over time. With a focus on comfort and durability, the Littledean series is an ideal choice for young hikers needing reliable footwear for varied terrain.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter snow?
While waterproof, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. They are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn hiking.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the EVA foam footbeds are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics or fresh insoles.
How should I clean the nylon upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth or soft sponge using mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Do these run true to size?
The Littledean range generally follows standard UK children's footwear sizing. If your child wears thick hiking socks, you may consider a slightly roomier fit.
Can these be used for school wear?
While durable enough for school playgrounds, they are specifically engineered for hiking performance and may be more robust than typical school shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel damp inside despite waterproof membrane
Check for moisture entry through the top of the ankle collar and ensure socks are moisture-wicking synthetic blends rather than cotton.
Footbed feels compressed or loses comfort
Remove and wash the EVA footbed with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before re-inserting, or replace with a generic comfort insole if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Cotswold Littledean hiking shoes, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dried mud after each hike. Wipe the nylon upper with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid placing them directly on radiators or heat sources, as high heat can compromise the waterproof membrane and deform the EVA insole.
- Insole Maintenance: Remove the EVA footbed occasionally to air out the interior of the shoe, which helps manage odor and prolongs the life of the padding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
