FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof construction, but regular maintenance with a waterproofing spray is recommended to keep them in top condition.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Sorel Explorer III generally offers a standard fit with moderate room, but they may feel snug on very wide feet.
Can I put these boots in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the boot. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth or soft brush is recommended.
Is the insulation enough for freezing temperatures?
The 100g insulation is suitable for standard winter weather, though layering with wool socks is recommended for extreme cold.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or becoming brittle.
Do the zippers hold up in snow and salt?
The zippers are durable, but it is good practice to rinse the exterior with fresh water after exposure to road salt to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper is stuck or difficult to move
Check for debris or grit in the zipper teeth and gently clean with a soft brush; applying a silicone-based zipper lubricant can help.
Boots feel slippery on wet surfaces
Clean the rubber traction pods on the sole with warm soapy water to remove compacted mud or salt that may be reducing grip.
Water resistance seems to be fading
Clean the boots thoroughly and reapply a suede-appropriate waterproofing treatment to restore the water-repellent barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are ready to wear right out of the box, though it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water-repellent spray before the first outdoor use to enhance longevity. To clean the boots, brush off any loose mud or dirt with a soft-bristled brush once the material is dry. If the boots become saturated, air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. To ensure the correct fit, measure the child's foot with a pair of socks similar to what they will wear with the boots.
