FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean these shoes by hand with a soft brush and damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
They feature an integrated RAIN.RDY membrane, which is designed to keep feet dry in wet, rainy, and muddy conditions.
Can these be used for school sports?
While durable enough for play, they are specifically engineered as hiking shoes with rugged outsoles, which may feel different than standard running shoes on indoor gym surfaces.
How should I choose the right size?
These shoes have a regular fit. It is best to follow the standard UK children's size guide and consider wearing the socks you intend to use for hiking when trying them on.
Do the laces stay tied?
The traditional lace closure allows for a secure, adjustable fit. Double-knotting the laces can help prevent them from coming undone during active play.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure that water is not entering through the top collar of the shoe. If using the shoes in deep water, consider pairing them with waterproof gaiters.
Stiff feel during first wear
The durable ripstop and overlays require a short 'break-in' period. Wear the shoes for shorter walks to allow the materials to flex to the shape of the foot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated waterproof protection keeps feet dry
- Durable ripstop material resists wear and tear

Cons
- Waterproof membrane may reduce breathability in hot weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from these hiking shoes, ensure the laces are tightened firmly before starting a hike to prevent internal foot movement. For care, avoid machine washing the shoes, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane over time. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after each use and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
