Size guide and inner measurements

The boots are normal to small in fit.

At MilkyWalk we measure all children's shoes each season with an internal measuring device. Our measurements show the actual space inside the boot – not the insole length. The insole can be slightly shorter or longer than the internal space. For this boot, we find that the insole can sometimes be longer than the boot's internal measurement.

Since we measure all shoes ourselves, our measurements may vary from the manufacturer's information.

Care and maintenance of Mikk-Line thermal boots

• Use an oil-based waterproofing spray (preferably without PFAS) regularly to keep the boots supple and prevent cracks. Avoid spraying on the outsole as it may become slippery
• Clean frequently with a soft cloth, water and mild soap
• Let the boots dry at room temperature. If water gets inside, fill them with newspaper
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight as well as very high or very low temperatures
• Store the boots upright in a dry, dark and cool place

MilkyWalk’s recommendation on when Mikk-Line thermal boots make sense to buy

When the winter is wet and cold, thermal boots like these are super practical – especially for kindergarten-aged children, they really come into their own. For children who spend a lot of time outdoors in all kinds of winter weather, regular winter boots – even with a TEX membrane – can struggle on many consecutive rainy days, as they need time to dry. Therefore, it is practical to have a pair of thermal boots to switch with on the wettest days.

However, a boot like this should not be the child’s primary winter boot. It is comparable to having only rubber boots as the only pair of shoes in summer.

Feet do not breathe optimally in rubber boots and thermal boots, and the boots need to dry completely if they become damp or wet. It is perfectly normal for them to feel moist inside without being leaking, as feet release a lot of moisture. We always recommend having at least two pairs of shoes to alternate between during the season.

Think of the thermal boot as a winter version of the rubber boot – a supplement rather than a replacement for regular winter boots.
