FRENCH SODA Kids Gumboot – Yellow

FRENCH SODA Kids Gumboot – Yellow

Gumboots should be a staple in every kid’s wardrobe! Made for wearing every day of the year, whether it’s for jumping in puddles, wearing to the park, to simply enjoying the great outdoors, these boots will be up to your any of your little one’s adventures. 

Made from natural rubber, our gumboots provide a durable, waterproof shoe that’s suitable for wet weather, long grass and uneven surfaces. This natural material is less damaging to produce than PVC alternatives and it is biodegradable.

Designed so they are easy to slide on and pull off after a full day of play and will keep feet warm and comfy and dry the entire time. Let outdoor play be worry free and let the kids skip, jump and twirl throughout their day. Add a splash of colour to your outfit and go outside to explore.

Care:

Gumboots are made from natural rubber which does require care to ensure a long life span.
A number of factors can cause the natural rubber to crack:

• Prolonged exposure to freezing conditions or hot sun may result in splitting and cracking
• It is best to wipe boots off and store inside so the natural rubber does not break down
• Poor fitting boots with excess movement can cause cracking
• Removing boots by pushing off with the alternate foot can cause rubber stress and cracking
• It is best to pull off with hands once the child is sitting down

To ensure that natural rubber doesn’t lose its flexibility, we suggest regular cleaning and conditioning with a rubber conditioner product (we generally recommend Wolly Gumboot Care).

To clean the lining inside your boot:
Give the inside a spray with laundry spray (Sard, Napisan or similar) or soak a cloth in warm soapy solution and rub inside of boot.
Dip a cloth in clean water and wipe inside of boot to rinse. Repeat to ensure cleaning products have been removed. Hang upside down or pop over a pole to drain and dry (drying with a heater will cause the rubber to crack)

About French Soda: 

“I’m a podcast-obsessed, chocolate-loving mum of boys who are ‘born explorers’ and basically live outdoors. Thankfully they grow up in the Central West of NSW, an environment with unlimited nature adventures (and flies) for them to chase.
In 2018, I was working as a teacher and understood how important outdoor play was for kids to learn and grow. But I’ve always loved colourful shoes, so when the opportunity to combine both interests came up, I knew I had to jump at it.

With the seemingly inescapable temptation of screen time, it’s never been more important to make outdoor play as appealing as possible. ;Our mission is to make good-looking, quality rainwear easily accessible. We want to make it easy for parents to encourage their children to explore and play outside – but save them from the meltdowns over wet socks or heavy, itchy jackets.”
