FAQs

Are these boots suitable for hiking?

While they offer good grip and waterproofing, the tall shaft and specific sole design are more suited for general outdoor use, walking, and gardening rather than strenuous hiking on rugged trails where ankle support might be crucial.

How do I clean the inside of the boots?

For the inside, remove any insoles if possible. Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to wipe the interior. Ensure the boots are thoroughly dried afterwards by air drying or stuffing with newspaper.

What does 'vulcanized waterproof upper' mean?

Vulcanization is a process that strengthens rubber, making it more durable and resistant to wear and tear. A vulcanized waterproof upper means the boot's material is sealed and treated to prevent water from penetrating.

Can I wear these boots in cold weather?

The boots themselves offer basic protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear warm socks or consider adding an insulated insole to enhance warmth.

What is the purpose of the side buckle?

The single side buckle is primarily a decorative detail, adding to the aesthetic style of the Wellington boot.

How should I store my wellington boots?

Store them upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid creasing them, as this can compromise the waterproof seal.

What shades are available?

The VIVA Hunter Wellingtons are available in a palette of fashionable shades, with this specific model being in Black.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thicker socks for a snugger fit if slightly loose, or thinner socks if too tight. Refer to the size chart if unsure before purchasing.

Water seeping into the boots

Inspect the boots for any cracks or damage to the vulcanized upper. If minor damage is found, a rubber repair kit might help. Ensure the top opening is not submerged excessively. Check that the lining is fully dry after cleaning.

Discoloration or dullness on the exterior

This can sometimes occur due to natural rubber aging. Apply a rubber boot protector or silicone spray to restore shine and protect the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. Designed for outdoor use in wet and muddy conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, rinse off mud and dirt with lukewarm water. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid abrasive brushes.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally out of direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the boots, as this can damage the waterproof material.
  4. Maintenance: For continued water repellency, consider using a silicone-based protector spray specifically designed for rubber or synthetic boots periodically.
