FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very young children?
Yes, the junior sizing is designed for kids. The high-top design offers good ankle support for young explorers.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the boot when the child is standing. The heel should not lift excessively when walking.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and waterproofing. Hand clean with a damp cloth.
What is the difference between IEP and standard Holcombe boots?
The IEP (Isotex & Protection) designation typically indicates enhanced waterproofing and durability features, suitable for more challenging conditions.
How long will the waterproofing last?
The Isotex and Hydropel treatments provide durable waterproofing. Regular care and occasional reapplication of waterproofing treatments will help maintain their effectiveness over time.
Can these boots be used in winter conditions?
While waterproof and warm, they are primarily designed for hiking and general outdoor use. For extreme cold or snow, additional winter-specific footwear may be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.
Water seeping into the boots
Check for any damage to the material or seals. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole tread to remove any accumulated mud or debris that might be affecting grip.

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, and general outdoor play. They are designed for children's feet.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
