FAQs
Are these wellingtons suitable for hiking?
The Barbour Nimbus Ankle Wellingtons are designed for general outdoor use in wet and muddy conditions. While they offer good grip for moderate trails, they may not provide the specific support and durability required for extensive, rugged hiking.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
These wellingtons are primarily for protection against water and mud. They do not offer significant insulation. For very cold weather, consider wearing thick, thermal socks.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Barbour sizing guide for Wellingtons. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the provided chart. Many users find they wear their usual shoe size, but considering sock thickness is also important.
What is the main difference between these and full-height wellingtons?
The ankle height of the Nimbus Wellingtons provides more flexibility and ease of movement compared to full-height boots. However, full-height wellingtons offer greater protection from deeper water and mud splash.
How should I store my wellingtons when not in use?
Store them upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid folding or creasing them, as this can damage the rubber and compromise their waterproof integrity.
Do these come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Barbour Nimbus series is available in various colours and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Wellingtons feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for wellingtons. Consider the thickness of your socks. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, double-check the size against the size chart, as UK sizes can vary between brands.
Mud or water residue inside the welly.
Ensure the wellingtons are completely dry inside and out before storing. If they have become wet internally, remove the insole (if possible) and allow to air dry thoroughly. Check the seal around the ankle opening for any gaps.
Visible scuffs or marks on the exterior.
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure they are dried thoroughly afterwards.
