Timberland Courma Boots - Brown, Size: 12.5

The Timberland Courma Boots feature a premium leather upper, which provides some natural resistance to moisture. However, they are not explicitly stated as fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, we recommend treating the leather with a suitable waterproof spray designed for leather footwear.

These boots are size 12.5 UK for children. It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to Timberland's official size chart. Allow for a small amount of growing room, but avoid making them too large as this can cause tripping and discomfort.

The Timberland Courma Boots are well-suited for cooler seasons like autumn and winter due to their durable leather and protective design. They can also be worn in spring, but might be too warm for peak summer temperatures due to their robust construction.

ReBOTL™ fabric is a material created by Timberland that contains at least 50% recycled plastic. This initiative helps reduce environmental impact by repurposing plastic bottles into durable, high-quality fabric used in footwear components, like in the lining or details of these boots.

To clean the rubber sole, use a stiff brush (like a dedicated shoe brush or an old toothbrush) and warm, soapy water. Scrub away any dirt or mud, paying attention to the treads. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

For optimal fit and to avoid wear on the zip, we recommend adjusting the laces to your child's foot size, tying them securely, and then primarily using the side zip for easy on and off. You may need to retie the laces occasionally to maintain the perfect fit as the leather molds to the foot.

Leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. The leather will soften and mold to their feet over time. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly.

Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather balm to restore shine and minimize the appearance of marks. A waterproofing spray can also help maintain appearance.

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. If the zipper still catches, try rubbing a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Remove the boots after wear and allow them to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are worn to help absorb moisture.
