FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof construction designed to keep feet dry in rain and snow, though they should not be fully submerged in water.
Can I put these boots in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the internal insulation. Always hand clean with appropriate care products.
How do I clean the suede exterior?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following the product instructions.
Are these suitable for very cold temperatures?
These boots contain 100g of insulation, which is excellent for general cold-weather activities. For extreme sub-zero conditions, extra thermal socks may be necessary.
How does the side zipper work?
The side zipper provides a wide opening, making it easy for children to slide their feet in and out without needing to fully unlace the boots.
Is the footbed removable?
The contoured EVA footbed is designed to be supportive, but check inside your specific pair; generally, they are built as a permanent part of the interior comfort system.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stuck or difficult to zip
Check the zipper track for trapped debris or grit. Gently clean with a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth.
Boots have lost water repellency
Apply a high-quality, suede-safe waterproof treatment spray once the boots are clean and completely dry.
Interior feels damp or cold
Ensure the child is wearing moisture-wicking socks. If the boots are soaked from the inside, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots utilize a suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain their functionality and appearance. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the structural integrity of the suede and insulation. If the boots get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt, and consider applying a suede-specific water repellent spray seasonally to maintain the waterproof coating. Ensure the side zipper is kept free of debris like sand or small pebbles to maintain smooth operation.
