Water-Resistant Sock Shoe

As a dad-owned and operated brand, we know firsthand how important it is for gear to keep up with active kids. Meriweather Boot was designed with both parents and kids in mind—offering protection against the elements without sacrificing comfort or style.

• Waterproof Membrane: Keeps little feet dry, no matter how wet the day gets.
• Comfortable Fit: Soft like a sock but with the durability of a boot, allowing for all-day wear without discomfort.
• Quick-Dry Technology: Washable and dries quickly, ready for the next adventure.
• Slip-Resistant Soles: Safe, secure steps for active toddlers on any surface.
• Easy On, Easy Off: Lightweight and flexible enough for toddlers to put on themselves.

We designed our boots to fit snugly, like a sock, providing maximum comfort and protection for your little adventurers. This snug fit helps ensure that water stays out while keeping their feet secure during all their explorations. Please note that the boots may feel tight at first, but they are made to stretch and mold to your child’s feet over time.

Choosing the Right Size

• True to Size: Meriweather Boots are designed to fit snugly. Choose your child’s normal shoe size for the best fit.
• Size Up Option: If you prefer a looser fit, or if your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for extra comfort and room to grow.

Pro Tip for a Smoother Fit

Because of the snug design, Meriweather Boots can feel tight out of the box. Here’s a simple method to help stretch them for easier wear:

1. Lightly wet the cuff of the boot.
2. Take the cuff and gently stretch it over a rounded surface, such as the arm of a chair.
3. Allow the boots to dry while stretched over the chair arm. This will help loosen the fit without compromising the boot’s structure.

How to Put Them On

Meriweather Boots are designed to go on just like a sock. Here’s a recommended method to help:

1. Have your child sit in your lap facing away from you.
2. Fold the cuff of the boot down to make it easier to slide on.
3. Gently guide the boot onto their foot, pulling it up like you would with a sock.

Due to the snug fit, some toddlers may find it challenging to take them off and put them on by themselves. With time and practice, many toddlers will be able to manage independently, but it’s always easier with a bit of help!

Using Your Meriweather Boots:

• Designed with a waterproof membrane to keep water out, but to prevent water entering from the top, we recommend wearing pants that cover the boot and avoiding folding the cuff on more wet days.
• For puddle-jumping fun, higher-cut styles are more suitable.

Cleaning:

• Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
• Boots are machine washable on cold, but avoid high heat to protect the waterproof membrane.

Drying:

• Squeeze out excess water, and stuff with newspaper or towels to speed up drying. Air dry in a well-ventilated area or tumble dry—avoid direct heat - this can damage the membrane.

Storage:

• Store boots fully dry, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
