FAQs
Are these boots suitable for snowy conditions?
The Barbour WILTON Chelsea Wellington Boots are waterproof, making them suitable for wet snow, but they are not insulated. For extreme cold or deep snow, additional thermal socks or dedicated snow boots would be more appropriate.
What is the lining material?
These boots feature a comfortable cotton lining, designed to enhance wearer comfort.
Do these boots run true to size?
Barbour footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider the size up to accommodate thicker socks.
Can I use these boots for intense outdoor activities like hiking?
These boots are ideal for casual outdoor activities, walking, and light gardening in wet conditions. For intense hiking or very rugged terrain, a dedicated hiking boot with ankle support and advanced sole technology would be more suitable.
How do I prevent the rubber from cracking?
To prevent rubber from cracking, regularly clean your boots, air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight, and consider using a rubber boot conditioner to keep the material supple and hydrated.
Are these boots heavy?
Made from high-quality rubber, these boots offer a good balance of durability, protection, and comfort for their design. They are not excessively heavy for their intended use.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel a bit stiff when new.
This is common with new rubber boots. Wear them a few times to break them in; the rubber will gradually soften and become more flexible.
Rubber appears dull or has lost its shine.
Apply a specialized rubber boot conditioner or silicone spray. Wipe with a clean cloth to restore the lustre and keep the rubber supple.
Experiencing some discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, such as thicker cotton or wool socks, to improve comfort and fit. Check if the size is correct for your feet.
Slipping on certain surfaces despite the sturdy sole.
While the sole provides reliable grip, extreme caution should be exercised on very icy, mossy, or exceptionally slick surfaces as no boot can guarantee 100% slip prevention in all conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions To use your Barbour WILTON Chelsea Wellington Boots, simply pull them on. The Chelsea design, typically featuring elasticated side panels, allows for easy entry and a snug fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for comfort and to prevent rubbing. These boots are highly compatible with various casual outfits, including jeans, chinos, and rain-ready outerwear. They are designed for general outdoor use in wet conditions. ### Care Instructions: 1. Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, rinse the boots with clean water to remove dirt and debris. A soft brush or damp cloth can be used to wipe the rubber clean. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers. 2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or degrade. 3. Storage: Store your wellington boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain their shape and prevent creasing, you can store them upright. 4. Conditioning: Periodically, you may wish to use a rubber boot conditioner to help maintain the rubber's flexibility and appearance, preventing drying and cracking.
