FAQs
Are these walking shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the Regatta IEP Junior Waterproof & Breathable Walkin features Regatta's Integrated Extol Performance (IEP) technology, which includes a waterproof and breathable membrane to keep feet dry.
What material are these shoes made from?
The primary material for the upper construction is durable polyester, designed for resilience in outdoor conditions.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
These shoes are available in UK junior foot sizes. It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to a Regatta sizing chart, ensuring there's about a thumb's width space at the toe when worn with typical socks.
Can these shoes be used in warm weather?
Yes, thanks to their breathable design, these shoes allow moisture vapor to escape, helping to keep feet comfortable in a range of temperatures, including warmer conditions, when paired with appropriate socks.
How should I clean these shoes?
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Regular cleaning helps maintain their performance and appearance.
Are these suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, these shoes feature a unisex design and color, making them suitable for all children.
Troubleshooting
Child's feet feel damp inside the shoes.
First, check that the shoes are properly sized; if too small, they can compress socks and reduce breathability. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, not cotton. If the outer DWR coating is worn, re-treat the shoes with a waterproofing spray.
Shoes seem stiff or uncomfortable.
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Check that the sizing is correct and that the lacing is not too tight. Ensure socks are smooth and bunched up. If discomfort persists, inspect for any internal defects.
Outer material appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the polyester material with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tough stains, a soft brush can be used. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry. Regular cleaning prevents build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Getting the most from your child's Regatta IEP Junior Waterproof & Breathable Walkin involves proper fitting and routine maintenance.
Setup
- Sizing: Ensure you select the correct `size_children_foot_uk` for your child. Have them try on the shoes with the socks they typically wear for outdoor activities.
- Fit Check: There should be a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the sides should not pinch.
Compatibility
- These shoes are compatible with standard outdoor socks (e.g., wool or synthetic blends that wick moisture).
- They pair well with waterproof trousers or gaiters for full lower body protection in very wet conditions.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After use, remove any loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, wipe the polyester surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer water-repellent treatment (DWR) may wear off. You can restore this by applying a suitable waterproofing spray designed for synthetic footwear, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
