FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
The boots offer good protection from water and some insulation due to their construction. However, they are primarily designed for hiking and general outdoor activity, not extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider adding warm socks.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
The product is listed with a UK Infant size. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to a standard UK children's sizing chart. These are specific infant sizes, so ensure you are looking at the correct chart.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the waterproof membranes and adhesives. Hand clean with a damp cloth as per the care instructions.
What is the main advantage of the high-top design?
The high-top design provides extra support and protection around the ankle, reducing the risk of twists and sprains on uneven terrain.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The Isotex and Hydropel technologies offer durable waterproofing. However, performance can be maintained by following the care instructions and re-applying waterproofing treatments periodically.
Are these boots suitable for boys and girls?
Yes, the design is unisex and suitable for any child, regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff on arrival
This is normal for new hiking boots. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to 'break in' and conform to the foot's shape.
Feet feel damp after use in wet conditions
Ensure the tongue is properly seated to prevent water ingress. Check that laces are tied securely but not excessively tight, which can impede breathability. For very wet conditions, consider adding a waterproofing treatment.
Traction seems poor on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs of any embedded mud or debris. The angled lugs are designed for forward grip; ensure the boots are not excessively worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots come ready to wear straight out of the box, requiring no special setup. They are designed for general outdoor use and are compatible with various types of weather. To care for your Regatta Holcombe boots:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing: For sustained water repellency, consider using a fabric-specific waterproofing spray periodically, following the product's instructions.
