FAQs
How do I know the right size for my child?
The product description indicates the boots are normally sized, advising to take the usual size. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the size chart if available, or consider the fit with the included additional inner soles.
Can these boots be worn in heavy rain?
The boots are made from high-quality waterproof leather, making them suitable for light rain and damp conditions. For prolonged immersion in water or very heavy downpours, dedicated waterproof boots might be more appropriate.
Are the insoles machine washable?
The insoles are washable and removable. It is best to hand wash them with mild soap and water and allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and climate. For children's active use, conditioning every 2-3 months or when the leather appears dry is recommended. Always follow the care product's specific instructions.
What is the benefit of the additional inner soles?
The additional inner soles provide a snugger fit for children with smaller feet and extend the lifespan of the boots as the child's feet grow, allowing for size adjustments without needing to buy a new pair immediately.
Can these boots be used for sports activities?
These boots are designed for everyday wear and active play, offering comfort and durability. For high-impact sports requiring specific ankle support or specialized traction, dedicated sports footwear is recommended.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Boots are difficult to put on
Ensure the child's foot is dry and pushed fully to the back of the boot. Utilize the strong pull tabs on both the front and back of the boot for leverage.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner, polish, or cream specifically designed for footwear. Follow product instructions and test in a small area first.
Water is seeping through
Reapply a waterproofing agent or spray designed for leather boots. Ensure all seams and elastic panels are treated. Minor seepage may occur with prolonged immersion.
Insoles smell after wear
Remove the insoles and wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before placing them back in the boots. Sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the correct size is chosen, using the additional inner soles if a snugger fit is needed for smaller feet.
Compatibility:
Suitable for children and infants. Designed for everyday wear, playtime, and light outdoor activities. Compatible with most children's clothing.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Protection: After cleaning and drying, apply a suitable leather polish, spray, or cream to maintain the leather's suppleness and water resistance. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Insoles: The removable insoles can be taken out and cleaned separately. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
