Full details
The Regatta Holcombe Low hiking shoes are engineered for active kids who enjoy outdoor adventures, offering a perfect blend of waterproof protection and rugged durability. Featuring advanced Isotex technology and a secure, supportive fit, these shoes are ideal for young hikers tackling various trails. A notable caveat is that while they are highly water-resistant, they are low-cut, meaning they may not provide the ankle coverage required for extremely deep mud or tall, wet grass.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean these shoes by hand using a soft brush and lukewarm water to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
Are they suitable for winter use?
They provide excellent water resistance, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. They work best in mild to cool, wet conditions.
How do I know if they are waterproof?
The Regatta Holcombe series uses an internal Isotex seam-sealed membrane bootee, which creates a physical barrier against water ingress.
What should I do if the laces keep catching?
These shoes feature enclosed hardware to reduce this issue. Ensure the laces are tucked securely under the outer layers when tied.
Can these be used for sports other than hiking?
Yes, they are versatile enough for general outdoor play, light trekking, or school trips that involve rough terrain.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is tied correctly and that trousers are worn over the shoe collar, as water can run down the leg and enter the low-cut opening.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris; use a stiff brush to clear the lug channels to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the shoes are sized correctly with enough room for a thick hiking sock. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the Isotex and Hydropel systems, avoid using harsh detergents that can strip the water-resistant coating. If the shoes become muddy, allow the mud to dry completely and brush it off with a soft-bristled brush. If internal washing is necessary, use lukewarm water and a mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can damage the membrane and glues. Always check the outsole before heading out to ensure no large stones are lodged in the tread channels.
