Full details
The Cotswold Littledean hiking shoes are designed for active children who need reliable footwear for outdoor exploration, school trips, or casual weekend walks. These shoes excel by providing a fully waterproof barrier combined with a lightweight, flexible design that prevents foot fatigue during long treks. Please note that while the water-resistant upper and membrane offer excellent protection against wet weather, the nylon material requires regular cleaning to maintain its finish after muddy adventures.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the internal waterproof membrane. We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the EVA footbed is removable, allowing you to clean it or swap it for an alternative insert.
Are these suitable for winter weather?
They are designed for general hiking and outdoor activities. They provide water protection, but are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
Do these come in other sizes?
The Littledean series is available in various sizes; please check the product list for availability in your specific UK size.
What is the material composition?
The exterior is constructed from durable nylon, and the internal components include a moisture-wicking textile and an EVA foam footbed.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite the waterproof claim
Check that the shoe is tied snugly to ensure the gusseted tongue is properly positioned against the lace gap. If the shoes are worn in water deeper than the ankle, water may enter from the top.
Odors developing inside the shoe
Remove the EVA footbed and allow it to air out separately. Sprinkle a small amount of foot powder inside when not in use to neutralize moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Littledean hiking shoes last throughout the season, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe off mud with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the nylon or melt adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. If the shoes are wet, stuff them with newspaper to help absorb interior moisture and maintain their shape.
- Compatibility: The shoes are standard UK sizing for children. Ensure the child wears appropriate hiking socks to maximize the comfort of the EVA foam footbed.
