The downpipe shoe is manufactured from durable PVCu (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride).

Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the joint between the downpipe and the shoe
Ensure the downpipe is fully seated in the shoe and that appropriate sealants or fixings are used as per Polypipe recommendations. Check for any damage to the downpipe or shoe rim.
Blockage at the downpipe shoe
Carefully clear any debris by hand or with a soft tool. Regular cleaning of the entire downpipe system will help prevent future blockages.
Shoe appears discolored or brittle
This may indicate prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays or incompatible cleaning agents. If under warranty and premature degradation is suspected, contact Polypipe customer support. Ensure only recommended cleaning methods are used.
