FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, the Houghton Wellingtons are constructed from leather designed to be water-repellent, keeping your feet dry in rain and mud.
How do I determine my size?
The Joules Houghton series generally fits true to size. If you plan to wear very thick wool socks, some users prefer to go up half a size.
Can I wear these for long hikes?
While they are comfortable for long countryside walks, they are not specialized hiking boots and lack the arch support found in dedicated mountaineering footwear.
Does the leather require a special cleaner?
Use mild soap and water for cleaning, followed by a leather-specific conditioner to protect the finish.
Can I replace the straps on the side gusset?
The straps are integrated into the design. If you experience issues with the hardware, please contact a professional cobbler for repair.
Troubleshooting
Buckle sticking or difficult to adjust
Clean the buckle and strap area with a soft brush to remove any dried mud or debris that may be obstructing the movement.
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to rehydrate the material and restore flexibility.
Boots feel slippery on smooth wet surfaces
Check the outsole for compacted mud or stones; use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the tread patterns to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Joules Houghton Wellingtons last for seasons to come, proper care is essential. Since these are leather boots, avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the leather to crack over time. After use in mud, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from radiators. Periodically applying a leather conditioner will keep the material supple and maintain its water-repellent properties. Ensure you wear appropriate moisture-wicking socks to prevent internal dampness, and store the boots upright in a cool, dry place to maintain their structural integrity.
