Full details
The Aigle Cottage Wellingtons are designed for women who require dependable, waterproof footwear that transitions seamlessly between rural outdoor activities and casual country living. These boots provide exceptional protection against wet weather through high-quality natural rubber construction, offering a sleek, equestrian-inspired aesthetic. While they provide excellent durability and comfort, potential users should note that as rubber boots, they lack the breathability of synthetic hiking shoes, making them best suited for damp or cold environments.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for long hikes?
While they are comfortable and durable for country walks and garden use, they are not designed as technical hiking boots and do not provide the arch support required for long-distance trekking.
How should I clean my Aigle Cottage Wellingtons?
Simply rinse the exterior with water and use a soft sponge to remove stubborn mud. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents.
Can I wear these in the snow?
They are waterproof and excellent for wet conditions, but they do not feature thermal insulation. For freezing temperatures, we recommend wearing thicker thermal socks.
Are these boots true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you intend to wear very thick winter socks, you may want to consider if your typical size allows enough internal volume.
Why is the rubber turning grey or powdery?
This is called blooming, a natural characteristic of high-quality rubber. It does not affect the integrity or waterproof performance of the boot and can be polished away.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on the inside
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, preferably wool or a moisture-wicking blend, to prevent foot slide and manage perspiration.
White powdery film on the rubber
This is a natural process called 'blooming' typical of natural rubber. Wipe the boots down with a damp cloth or apply a rubber conditioner to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are a slip-on design and require no complex setup. Ensure you choose the correct UK size for a comfortable fit, typically allowing enough room for a medium-thickness sock. To care for your Aigle Wellingtons, rinse them with clean water after use to remove mud or debris. If the rubber appears dull over time, you can apply a silicone-based rubber spray to maintain the finish. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the natural rubber to crack or warp.
