FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very young children?
The Gillon II boots are designed for kids and feature ankle support and cushioned footbeds, making them suitable for active young explorers. Ensure the correct size is selected for a comfortable and secure fit.
How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?
The boots feature a waterproof membrane. To maintain performance, keep the boots clean and dry them naturally after use. Avoid submerging them in deep water for extended periods.
What is the outsole made of, and how durable is it?
The outsole is made from 50% TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber), which is known for its durability and ability to provide good grip on various surfaces.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials. Clean them gently with a damp cloth.
What does 'mid cut' mean for these boots?
A mid-cut boot typically extends just above the ankle bone, offering a balance between ankle support and freedom of movement. It provides more support than a low-cut shoe but less restriction than a high-cut boot.
How should I care for the PU (Polyurethane) upper?
Wipe the PU upper with a damp cloth to clean it. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Ensure they are dried naturally away from direct heat sources.
What size should I choose?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer, and measure your child's foot to find the best fit. Consider the thickness of socks they will typically wear with the boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. Consider wearing thicker socks if the fit is slightly loose, or thinner socks if too tight. Allow for a brief break-in period.
Feet feel wet inside the boots.
Check if the laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly gusseted to prevent water ingress. Ensure the boots are not submerged in deep water, as no boot is completely waterproof under extreme conditions. Verify that the waterproof membrane is intact and not compromised.
Traction seems poor on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, as this can affect grip. The TPR outsole is designed for general use; for extremely slippery conditions, exercise caution.
Leather/PU upper shows signs of wear.
Clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For PU material, avoid harsh chemicals. Condition if appropriate for the specific material type, following manufacturer guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
