GENERAL INQUIRIES

 

 How did KidORCA get started?

A young family blessed with three kids, leaving in beautiful British Columbia, loves to spend time outside. Our little twins follow dynamic adventures from the very birth. To make our trips more comfortable, we’ve been in search of reliable waterproof footwear that will securely keep children’s feet dry while they’re splashing in the water – in city puddles, wood creeks, or by the ocean beaches.

By this moment, we’ve been already involved in the children rain gear industry for a few years, and we’ve been cheerfully surprised that not all of the good things have yet been invented. ))) Like Plato says: “The true creator is necessity”… Please welcome KidORCA Children Rain Boots with Above Knee Waders!

In our message to a parental community we would like to encourage you to share the unquenchable curiosity about nature, rich in imagination and exploration. Get your kids equipped and let’s embrace the outdoors together.

 

 

Absolutely! Keep tagging us in your photos, we absolutely LOVE to see your little ones rocking in our rubber boots. Don't forget to use our hashtag #kidorca.

BOOTS FEATURES

 

 Why are KidORCA kids'rain boots better than conventional rain footwear?

In KidORCA kids’rain boots you get the best of wader’s functionality and the benefits of conventional rain footwear. This innovative combination is particularly nice for active puddle jumpers. Generally, KidORCA kids’rain boots are taller, the waterproof upper securely covers the leg above the knee, providing the maximum protection from water ingress and elements. The premium quality textile is lightweight and soft, it doesn’t impede your child’s mobility. When unused, the collar may be easily rolled down. In addition, the breathability level of the fabric facilitates the air-circulation inside the boot.

Although some conventional rain boots may have a drawstring fastener on top, the seam between a textile and a boot is not commonly waterproof-sealed making them prone to leaking water. Unlike KidORCA kids’rain boots. The junction area in our boots is tightly sewn, glued and sealed. Our R&D department was fortunate to develop a complex technology that keeps this seam 100% waterproof. We have intentionally refused from using easy-welding but toxic PVC in our production and implemented a new approach to joining rubber and polyester at a desirable waterproof level.

And finally, cushioning fleece lining makes your child’s feet happy and supported in the rainy season. Scored high in the water resistance and comfort categories, KidORCA kids’rain boots are absolute necessity for your little explorers.

 

Presently, KidORCA rain boots are designed for children aged 1-6. Our largest size fits up to US SIZE 12 (EUR 30). Moreover, we are currently working on the larger models for kids up to 10 years old and we would happily welcome your suggestions on cool designs and colors. Please do not hesitate to contact us at info@kidorca.com and share your thoughts. Please kindly study a sizing chart here.

 

KidORCA Children Rubber Boots can be worn from one season to the next. Generally, they are more comfortable from September to May.  Paired with our special KidORCA Fleece Socks, rain boots keep little feet warm and comfy on chilly rainy days through the West Coast winter, but not meant for extreme cold weather.

 

What socks would you recommend? 

Some kids choose to go barefoot because of a soft cotton lining inside the KidORCA Rain Boots. However, for most of the year we recommend special moisture wicking KidORCA Fleece Socks (to prevent from rare but possible blisters). Merino wool is the next best option, as well regular cotton socks. One pair of socks is enough. Soft and cozy polar fleece liners retain your child’s body heat, and the elastics at the knee encased with upper textile insulates it from the outside elements.

 

How does KidORCA ensures the product safety?

Firstly, KidORCA rain boots are produced from vulcanized natural rubber and do not contain PVC (polyvinylchloride, aka vinyl). Then, our factory regularly successfully passes the ecological tests in the world’s leading inspection SGS laboratory. KidORCA rubber boots meet or exceed established product safety standards. The paint is lead-free and the glue is formaldehyde-free. As for toxicity, because boots are made of natural rubber, there are no harmful additives, such as lead, phthalates, cadmium, etc. They may have a slight smell of natural rubber which disappears after the first walk.

 

KidORCA kids’rain boots are PVC free. It is our conscientious decision to produce rain boots from natural rubber.
