Are the TUFS boots fully waterproof?

Yes. They are molded in one piece from BioLite EVA, so there are no seams for water to get through.

How do kids get them on?

Ridges inside the front and back give small hands a grip to pull the boots on, and the textured footbed holds the foot once it is in.

No. Clean them by hand with lukewarm water and let them air dry in moderate temperatures.

Yes, the EVA can shrink and warp if exposed to high heat or very cold temperatures. Wear, store and dry them in moderate conditions.

The outsole is slip resistant and non-marking, the same approach XTRATUF uses on its adult deck boots.

They are lighter and more flexible and easier for kids to pull on, but rubber is tougher on abrasive ground and EVA is not insulated.
