Full details
The Cotswold Littledean hiking shoes are an ideal choice for active children who need reliable footwear for outdoor exploration and weekend adventures. These shoes provide the critical advantage of a fully waterproof membrane combined with a durable water-resistant soft shell, ensuring feet stay dry and comfortable in unpredictable weather. While they offer excellent protection and support, parents should note that the nylon material requires consistent cleaning to maintain its water-repellent finish over time.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash them with a soft brush and lukewarm water to protect the waterproof membrane and nylon structure.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable and can be replaced with orthotics or a fresh insole if needed.
Are these suitable for winter weather?
They provide excellent moisture protection for damp, chilly conditions, but they are not specifically insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the nylon from fading or becoming brittle.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable nylon, designed to be lightweight and water-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Foot is getting damp inside despite the waterproof membrane
Check that the shoe is not being fully submerged above the ankle line, as the waterproof limit is defined by the height of the tongue gusset.
Interior feels gritty and uncomfortable
Remove the EVA footbed, shake it out, and use a vacuum or damp cloth to clean the inside of the shoe before reinserting the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply ensure the size is appropriate for your child's current foot measurement, leaving a small amount of space for thick hiking socks. Compatibility is best maintained by pairing these shoes with synthetic or merino wool moisture-wicking socks to complement the waterproof membrane.
Care instructions include:
- After muddy walks, allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid placing them directly on radiators or heat sources, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and the nylon material.
- Remove the EVA footbed periodically to brush out accumulated sand or dirt from the inner sole.
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the outer shell to keep the fabric breathable.
