FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide calves?
The Aiglentine boot features a 'cavalier cut' with a tightening strap that allows for some adjustment. However, it is designed with a feminine, curved shape that may be more suited to average or slim calf widths. It's recommended to check the specific calf circumference measurement if available or try them on if possible.
How do I know if my boots are truly waterproof?
Aigle tests every pair of boots for waterproofness. The process involves filling the boot with air and immersing it in water. If no bubbles escape, the boot has passed the test. You can trust the waterproof guarantee provided the seals remain intact.
Can I wear these boots in cold weather?
The boots are made of natural rubber, which provides insulation. However, they are not insulated boots designed for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider wearing thick woolen socks. For extreme temperatures, insulated winter boots would be more appropriate.
How often should I clean my wellingtons?
It's best to clean your wellingtons with clean water after each use, especially if they have come into contact with mud, salt, or chemicals. Periodically, a deeper clean with mild soap and water is recommended.
What is the lifespan of these rubber boots?
With proper care and regular maintenance, Aigle natural rubber boots are known for their durability and can last for many years. Avoiding prolonged exposure to heat, sunlight, and harsh chemicals will help extend their life.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your Aigle wellingtons. This can damage the natural rubber and compromise their waterproof integrity. Always clean them by hand.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or are difficult to put on.
Ensure the lining is completely dry. If the rubber feels stiff, it might benefit from a light application of Aigle's rubber care product. Check if the tightening strap is fully loosened.
Water seeping into the boots.
Re-check the individual waterproofness test description. If leakage persists and is not due to a faulty seal, contact customer support as this indicates a potential manufacturing defect.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While the notched sole provides good grip, some very smooth, wet surfaces might still pose a challenge. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris. Consider a non-slip sole protector if this becomes a frequent issue.
The tightening strap is uncomfortable or rubs.
Adjust the strap to a looser setting. Ensure socks are pulled up fully to create a barrier between the strap and skin.

- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with a damp sponge and clear water. For tougher dirt, use a mild soapy water solution. Rinse thoroughly.
