FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
Yes, they are designed to fit children's feet accurately, though it is recommended to leave a little room for thick socks.
Can these be machine washed?
No, you should never put rubber boots in the washing machine. Hand wash with warm soapy water and air dry.
Are they suitable for snow?
While waterproof, they are not insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for rain and mud.
Why is the rubber finish changing colour?
Natural rubber can release protective waxes, causing a white residue known as blooming; this is cosmetic and does not affect performance.
How do I measure my child's foot for these?
Have your child stand on a piece of paper, trace their foot, and measure the longest distance from heel to toe to match against the size chart.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly slippery inside
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate cotton socks and that the interior is completely dry from previous use.
White marks appearing on the surface
This is a natural process called 'blooming.' Wipe the boot with a damp cloth or apply a rubber conditioner to restore the shine.
Difficult to pull on
Use a shoehorn to help ease the heel into the boot without folding the back of the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots require no assembly; they are ready to wear out of the box. To ensure a comfortable fit, pair these wellies with medium-weight cotton or wool socks to prevent friction against the ankle. To maintain the life of the boots, rinse off any mud or dirt with clean water after use and store them in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as UV exposure can degrade natural rubber over time. If the boots develop a white, powdery 'bloom'—a common occurrence with natural rubber—simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth or a silicone-based rubber buffer to restore the matte finish.
