Regatta Risely Waterproof Fur Lined Boots - Brown - UK 6.5

The Regatta Risely boots are waterproof and feature warm faux fur lining, making them suitable for typical winter conditions with snow and rain. For extreme cold or very deep snow, additional thermal socks or gaiters might be recommended, but the boots themselves provide good protection.

No, these boots should not be machine washed. Gently wipe them clean with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Machine washing can damage the waterproof PVC and faux fur lining.

The upper is made from 100% waterproof moulded PVC. The inner lining is warm faux fur, and the insock is TECFOAM open foam for comfort. The outsole is also PVC with angled lugs for grip.

Refer to standard UK women's shoe sizing. It's often recommended to try on boots with the type of socks you plan to wear. Ensure there's enough room for your toes to wiggle comfortably without your heel slipping excessively.

The TECFOAM open foam insock provides superior underfoot comfort and cushioning. While it offers general support, if you require specific arch support, you may consider adding an orthotic insole, ensuring it doesn't compromise the fit or waterproof integrity.

Due to their fully moulded PVC construction, these boots offer excellent waterproof protection but have limited breathability compared to boots made with natural leathers or specific breathable membranes. This is a common characteristic of fully waterproof PVC footwear.

The PVC outsole with angled lugs is designed for durability and grip. Like all footwear, the lifespan of the sole will depend on the frequency of use, terrain, and individual walking style. Regular inspection for wear is recommended.

While the boots offer good insulation, ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal socks. For extremely cold conditions, consider layering or using specialized winter socks. Check that the boots are not too tight, which can restrict circulation and lead to cold feet.

The angled lugs are designed for grip on many surfaces. However, no sole can guarantee grip on all surfaces (e.g., black ice, polished wet surfaces). Exercise caution on extremely slippery terrain. Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear, as worn lugs can reduce grip effectiveness.

Moisture trapped inside can cause odor. After each use, allow the boots to air dry completely. You can also use boot deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the boots overnight to absorb odors. Ensure your socks are clean and dry before wearing.
