FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they are constructed from high-quality, water-resistant rubber designed specifically for wet environments.
Can I wear these for long hikes?
While they are comfortable for casual walks, they are not designed for long-distance technical hiking and lack the arch support of dedicated hiking boots.
How should I clean the inside?
Wipe the interior with a damp, clean cloth and allow it to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
Do they fit true to size?
Yes, the Barbour Nimbus series is built with a regular fit; we recommend purchasing your standard UK shoe size.
What is the benefit of the Commando tread?
The Commando tread is a deeper, more aggressive pattern that provides extra grip on soft, slippery surfaces like mud or wet grass.
Troubleshooting
Difficult to remove after a long walk
Use the heel pull tabs consistently. If they feel stuck, ensure your socks are not bunched up inside the boot.
Visible white bloom on rubber surface
This is a natural process where protective waxes rise to the surface. Simply wipe the boot with a damp cloth or apply a rubber conditioner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots feature a regular fit that accommodates standard sock thicknesses. No complex break-in period is typically required due to the flexible nature of the rubber and elastic inserts. To ensure longevity, keep the following care tips in mind: always remove debris using a soft brush or a damp sponge after use. If the boots become muddy, wipe them clean before the mud dries. Most importantly, store your Nimbus boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources—such as radiators or direct sunlight—which can cause the rubber to perish or crack over time.
