FAQs
Are these boots actually waterproof?
Yes, they are constructed from heat-sealed waterproof PVC, making them fully submersible and capable of keeping your feet dry in heavy rain.
Do I need to break these in?
Unlike traditional leather Dr. Martens, these PVC wellingtons are generally comfortable immediately, though the SoftWair insole will continue to adapt to your foot over time.
Are they true to size?
They are designed to mirror the fit of the original 1460 boot, so your standard UK size should be appropriate.
Can I use leather care products on them?
No. Leather conditioners and polishes are not suitable for the PVC exterior and may leave a residue or damage the finish.
Is the sole slip-resistant?
The BEN sole is rugged and designed for various terrains, offering the durability and traction typically associated with the brand's air-cushioned soles.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery inside
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool-blend socks to manage internal perspiration.
Difficulty pulling boots on/off
Use the rubberized heel tab to assist with leverage and ensure your foot is perpendicular to the shaft of the boot when sliding in.
Exterior finish looking dull
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and buff with a dry microfibre cloth to restore the original luster of the PVC material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots require no break-in period like traditional leather, but ensure you pair them with moisture-wicking socks to compensate for the non-breathable nature of PVC. To clean, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. As these are waterproof PVC, do not apply traditional leather polishes or oils. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can warp the PVC over time.
