FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Regatta Kids Holcombe IEP Jnr shoes feature ISOTEX waterproof and breathable technology, including a seam-sealed internal membrane liner, designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to Regatta's sizing chart. Always ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing, and that the heel doesn't slip.

Can these shoes be worn for school or just hiking?

While excellent for hiking and outdoor play, their comfortable and durable design also makes them suitable for everyday wear, including school, especially in cooler or wetter climates.

How often should I clean these shoes?

Clean them as needed, especially after muddy or dirty outings. Regular cleaning helps maintain their appearance and extends their lifespan. Avoid delaying cleaning to prevent stubborn stains.

What kind of socks should my child wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to benefit from the shoe's breathability, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking or synthetic blend socks. Cotton socks can absorb and hold moisture, potentially reducing comfort.

Is the sole non-marking?

Info needed: The product description does not specify if the TPR outsole is non-marking. Generally, TPR outsoles can be non-marking but it's not guaranteed without explicit mention.

Troubleshooting

Child's feet feel damp inside the shoes.

Ensure your child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The ISOTEX membrane is breathable, but cotton socks can retain moisture. Also, check if water is entering from the top (e.g., over the ankle in deep puddles) or if the waterproofing needs re-treatment after extended wear (though less common for new shoes).

Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.

Verify the shoe size and fit again, especially with the socks they usually wear. Ensure laces are tied correctly – not too loose or too tight. Break-in period might be needed; gradually increase wear time for new shoes. Check for any debris inside the shoe.

Slipping on wet surfaces despite the grippy sole.

While the TPR outsole provides good grip, no shoe is completely slip-proof on all wet surfaces. Advise caution on extremely slick surfaces like polished wet rock or ice. Ensure the outsole lugs are not clogged with excessive mud, which can reduce grip – clean them regularly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps feet dry in wet conditions thanks to ISOTEX technology
  • High level of comfort for prolonged wear, ideal for active children
  • Enhanced safety features with enclosed hardware to prevent trips
  • Durable and grippy outsole for stable movement on different surfaces
  • Lightweight design reduces foot fatigue

Cons

  • Requires regular cleaning, especially after muddy outings to maintain performance and appearance
  • Specific sizing (UK 10) may not be suitable for all children; careful measurement is needed
  • May not be ideal for extreme cold weather without additional thermal socks or insulation

Setup:

  1. Ensure your child wears appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking hiking socks) before trying on the shoes.
  2. Loosen the laces fully before inserting the foot.
  3. Have your child stand up with their full weight on both feet. Check for a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  4. Lace the shoes snugly, but not too tight, ensuring the foot feels secure without pressure points.
  5. Walk around to confirm comfort and proper fit.

Compatibility:

These shoes are designed for outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, camping, and general active play. They are suitable for various terrains, including grass, dirt paths, and light rocky surfaces, especially in wet or damp conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, particularly in muddy conditions, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use warm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
