The Xpert Heritage Wrangler Junior Dealer Boot is a genuine leather dealer boot designed for children who spend real time outdoors. With a waxy leather upper, double elastic gusset, large back puller, cushioned footbed, and chunky TP rubber sole, it combines practical independence with proper country boot construction — in Dark Brown across UK sizes 7 child to 6 junior.

Why We Recommend It

The line says it all: designed by dads and farmers. This isn't a boot designed to look country — it's designed to work country. The waxy leather will age beautifully and take a polish, the double elastic gusset means kids can be independent getting dressed (no small thing on a shoot morning), and the chunky TP rubber sole gives genuine grip in the sort of conditions country kids actually encounter. At £39.90 with a full size run from toddler to junior, it's exceptional value for a genuine leather boot that will last the season.

Bailey Says 🐾

My friends, I have a theory about children in proper boots. They walk differently. More confidently. More like they belong in the countryside. I have seen Craig's kids stomp through some absolutely heroic mud in boots just like these and come out the other side looking very pleased with themselves. Get the little ones into proper leather boots early and they'll never want to go back. Neither will their feet. 🐾

How To Use

The double elastic gusset and large back puller are designed so children can fit these boots independently. Pull the back loop up firmly while pushing the foot in, and the elastic gusset will flex to accommodate. For the best fit, wear with a medium-weight country sock. For muddy conditions, a thin waterproof sock liner adds an extra layer of protection. After wear, knock off excess mud and allow to dry naturally before polishing or conditioning the leather.

Care Guide

Remove excess mud with a soft brush or damp cloth after every wear and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat
Apply a good quality leather conditioner or dubbin regularly to keep the waxy leather supple and water-resistant
Polish with a matching dark brown boot polish to restore appearance and add weather protection
Do not dry on radiators or in direct sunlight as this can crack the leather
Store in a cool, dry place — boot trees or scrunched newspaper will help maintain the shape

Complete Your Setup

Complete the junior country kit with: a pair of warm wool or merino country socks for comfort on longer days, a kids' waterproof jacket for full wet weather protection, and the Swampmaster Junior Tractor Wellies for muddy days when a leather boot isn't the right choice.

FAQs

What ages are these boots suitable for?

The Junior Wrangler covers UK sizes 7 child to 6 junior (EU 24–39), which typically spans children of approximately 18 months through to around 12–13 years old depending on foot size. Always measure your child's foot before ordering as children's feet vary considerably.

Are these boots waterproof?

The waxy leather upper provides good natural water resistance for normal country use — light rain, damp grass, and muddy ground. They are not fully waterproof like a welly. For prolonged wet conditions or standing water, apply a leather waterproofing wax or dubbin to enhance water resistance, or pair with a waterproof sock liner.

Can my child put these on themselves?

Yes — that's a key design feature. The double elastic gusset allows the boot to flex open for easy entry, and the large back puller gives young hands something to grip. Most children from around age 4–5 upwards can manage these independently.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your child's foot length in centimetres and match to the EU size. Dealer boots generally fit true to size, but if your child is between sizes or has a wider foot, go up. A little growing room is fine and preferable to a tight fit, especially with a sock on.

How do I care for the leather?

Clean off mud and allow to dry naturally, then apply a dark brown boot polish or leather conditioner to keep the leather in good condition. Regular conditioning keeps the waxy leather supple and water-resistant. The leather will develop a natural patina with wear that improves the look of the boot over time.
