Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply slip them on and secure them with the laces. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tightly to allow for comfortable movement and prevent chafing. A double knot is recommended for active children to prevent untying during play.
Compatibility: These boots are ideal for junior outdoor activities such as:
- Hiking and trail walking
- School outdoor education trips
- General outdoor play in wet or uneven conditions
- Suitable for various weather conditions, from damp to cool, thanks to their waterproof and breathable features.
Care: To ensure the longevity and performance of your Holcombe IEP Mid Junior boots:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Waterproofing: Over time, the `Hydropel` treatment may wear off. Regularly apply a suitable fabric and footwear re-waterproofing spray (available at outdoor retailers) to maintain water repellency. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
