FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof construction designed to keep feet dry in snow and light slush.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the boots. Spot clean only.
Do they run true to size?
They generally fit consistent with standard toddler sizing, but it is recommended to account for room for thick winter socks.
What is the age range for these boots?
These are specifically designed for the toddler age group, providing the support and ease-of-use needed for younger children.
How do I maintain the grip on the outsoles?
Keep the outsoles clear of packed-in mud or ice by rinsing them with water after outdoor use.
Are these suitable for deep snow?
They are ideal for standard winter play. For deep, backcountry snow, a taller boot may be more appropriate to prevent snow from entering the top.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the boots
Ensure no fabric or lining is caught in the zipper teeth. Check for packed-in snow or debris inside the zipper track and clean with a soft brush.
Boots feel damp inside
This is often due to internal moisture buildup rather than a leak. Use moisture-wicking socks and ensure the boots are completely air-dried between wears.
Suede looks discoloured or worn
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. If stained, use a gentle suede-specific cleaning foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sorel Little Explorer III boots last the entire season, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: After play, brush off dried mud or debris using a soft brush. For stubborn stains on the suede, use a specialized suede cleaner.
- Drying: If the boots become soaked inside or out, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a water-repellent spray designed for suede to maintain the waterproof barrier.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
