FAQs

Are these boots suitable for very young children?

Yes, the combination of laces and a side zipper makes them accessible for children who are learning to dress themselves, while the high-top design provides ankle support.

What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 mean?

It means the textiles used in these boots have been tested and certified to be free from harmful substances, ensuring they are safe for children's skin.

Can these boots be worn in wet conditions?

While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the cotton upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the cotton.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Palladium sizing chart and measure your child's foot from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the provided size guide. It's often recommended to size up slightly for children's footwear to accommodate growth and thicker socks.

Are the materials truly vegan?

Yes, the product details confirm that the boots are made with vegan-friendly materials.

How durable are the printed designs?

The prints are designed to be durable for standard wear and tear. However, excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning methods may cause fading over time.

Can the insole be removed or replaced?

No, the insole is not designed to be removable.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty with side zipper

Ensure there are no obstructions in the zipper track. Gently wiggle the zipper pull. If it feels stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can help lubricate the teeth.

Boots feel too tight

Loosen the laces significantly, especially around the ankle area. Ensure the child's foot is positioned correctly within the boot before re-lacing. Check if the correct size has been selected.

Discoloration of cotton upper

Spot clean gently with a mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the fabric and print. Always air dry.

Soles losing grip

Clean the EVA sole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.
