FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

Yes, they are crafted from high-quality waterproof rubber to keep your feet dry.

Can I wear these for hiking?

While they are comfortable for city walking, they are not designed for technical hiking or rough terrain.

How do I clean the boots?

Rinse with water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from heat sources.

Is the sole comfortable for all-day wear?

The platform sole is designed to be flatter and more comfortable than traditional wellies, making it suitable for longer periods of walking.

What should I do if the boots get dirty?

A simple rinse with water and a soft cloth will restore their appearance.

Will these fit under jeans?

The streamlined design typically fits well under most standard or straight-cut trousers.

Troubleshooting

White film appearing on the rubber surface

This is called blooming, a natural characteristic of high-quality rubber. Simply wipe with a damp cloth or use a dedicated rubber cleaner.

Boots feel slippery on wet smooth surfaces

Ensure the outsoles are clean and free of debris that may have become lodged in the tread.

Pros and Cons

  • Modern, minimalist look for city use
  • Enhanced comfort due to the flatter sole design
  • Lightweight compared to traditional tall wellies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These boots are ready to wear immediately upon unboxing. To ensure longevity, keep the boots away from direct heat sources, which can crack the natural rubber. If the boots become muddy, rinse them with lukewarm water and a mild soap. It is recommended to let them air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area. For long-term storage, avoid folding or crushing the rubber material, as this can cause permanent creases or tears. Using a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior once a week will maintain the signature matte or glossy finish.
