Barbour Ridge Ankle Wellington Boot - Brown - UK 12

The Barbour Ridge ankle wellington boots are designed for general wet conditions and offer ankle-high protection. For activities requiring deeper water immersion, a taller wellington boot would be more appropriate.

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Barbour. It's often recommended to wear the type of socks you plan to use with the boots when trying them on to ensure an accurate fit. Consider if you prefer a snug or looser fit.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the boots are consistently uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if the ankle height is suitable for your foot shape. Trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear is recommended.

Inspect the boots for any visible tears or damage to the rubber. If no damage is apparent, ensure the ankle cuff is properly sealed against your leg and socks. For minor leaks due to wear, professional repair services might be an option.

Use a rubber care product or a silicone-based spray specifically designed for wellington boots to restore shine and protect the material. Gently wipe away scuffs with a soft cloth. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear for rubber footwear.
