Regatta Sherbourne Boots - Black - UK 6.5

The Regatta Sherbourne Boots offer warmth and grip for general winter conditions. While they are weatherproof, they are not specifically designed for extreme heavy snow or ice; specialized winter boots with deeper lugs and specific cold-weather insulation would be more appropriate for those conditions.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the Isotex membrane, synthetic leather, faux fur lining, and overall boot structure. Please refer to the 'Product Care & Maintenance' section for proper cleaning instructions.

The Isotex membrane provides lasting waterproofing. If you notice water penetrating the boot under normal wet conditions, inspect for any visible damage like tears or punctures in the upper. Ensure the boot is clean, as dirt can sometimes hinder performance. If issues persist, refer to the manufacturer's warranty.

Some minimal shedding can be normal with faux fur, especially when new. Gently brushing the lining can help manage this. Excessive shedding may indicate damage or wear.

Clean the boots thoroughly and ensure they are completely dry before storing. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. You can stuff them with acid-free paper or boot shapers to help maintain their form.

Regatta generally aims for true-to-size footwear. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine your preference.

While the Isotex membrane is waterproof and breathable, prolonged exposure to extreme wet conditions, or water entering over the top of the boot, can lead to dampness. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking) and that the boots haven't been submerged beyond their protective capabilities. Check for any physical damage to the membrane.

Gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled brush (like a clothes brush) to fluff it up and restore its texture. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning, which can worsen matting.

The TECFOAM insock provides excellent comfort, but regular wear can compress it. Ensure the boots are clean, especially the interior. You might consider adding a new insole designed for comfort and support if the original cushioning has significantly diminished due to extensive use.

Check the outsole for accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be impacting traction. Clean the treads thoroughly with a brush and water. If the sole is heavily worn, its grip capability will naturally diminish over time.

Clean the synthetic leather regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. For scuffs, a specialized synthetic leather cleaner or protector might help, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
