Joules Houghton - Checkered - UK 5

While the Houghton Wellies are robust and waterproof, they are not specifically insulated. For very cold weather, we recommend wearing thick, thermal socks to provide additional warmth and comfort.

To clean your wellies, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth after use. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.

Yes, the Joules Houghton Wellies feature removable insoles, allowing for easy cleaning, airing, or replacement with personal orthotics if desired.

This feature refers to the tread pattern on the sole, which is specifically designed to channel water away, providing enhanced grip and reducing the risk of slipping on wet or slippery surfaces.

The Joules Houghton Wellies are covered by our One Year Welly Guarantee, protecting against manufacturing defects and material faults.

Joules wellies are generally considered true to size. However, if you plan to wear very thick socks, you might consider going up half a size if available, or adjusting the gusset for a comfortable fit.

First, check for any punctures or small leaks in the rubber. If the boot is intact, ensure you are wearing breathable socks, as rubber boots can retain moisture from perspiration. Remove and air out the removable insoles regularly.

Adjust the side gusset using the buckle fastening. Loosen it for more room or tighten it for a more secure fit. Consider the thickness of your socks; thinner or thicker socks can impact the overall fit.

While the outsoles offer superior grip, extreme conditions can still be challenging. Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from caked-on mud or debris that might reduce traction. Check the tread for significant wear, which can reduce effectiveness over time.
