Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots suitable for snow?
While these boots are waterproof and can provide some protection in light snow, they are not insulated for extreme cold. For heavy snow or very cold temperatures, consider boots with added insulation.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
Refer to the UK children's size guide. These boots are designed with a standard fit and a rounded toe to allow for movement, so selecting the correct size is important for comfort and fit.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the natural rubber and the waterproof seal. Hand wash with mild soap and water only.
What does 'vegan construction' mean?
It means the boots are made without using any animal products or by-products in their materials or manufacturing process.
How high is the boot shaft?
The boot shaft height is mid-calf, providing good coverage to protect against splashes and mud.
Is there a gift box included?
No, the product information indicates that these boots do not come gift boxed.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is flat, under 2.5cm, which is ideal for comfort and stability for young children.
Troubleshooting
Boots leak water
Inspect the boots for any visible tears or punctures in the rubber. If damage is found, the boots may need to be replaced. Ensure the shaft height provides adequate coverage for the activity.
Feet feel cold in wet weather
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks, such as wool or thermal socks, designed for cold weather. The boots themselves are waterproof but not insulated for extreme cold.
Boots are difficult to pull on
Ensure the child's foot is clean and dry. Try slightly stretching the boot opening or using a sock to help slide the foot in. For future purchases, ensure the correct size is selected, allowing room for movement.
Gloss finish appears dull or scuffed
Clean the boots thoroughly as per the care instructions. A rubber care product might help restore some shine, but scuffs are a natural result of wear and tear on a gloss finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for children's feet, they are compatible with standard children's socks. They are ideal for use in wet weather conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth or sponge to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn marks, use lukewarm water and a mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the rubber. Ensure the inside is also dry before storage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid creasing or folding the boots for extended periods, as this can affect their shape and waterproofing.
