Product Care

Skellerup wellingtons are designed for a variety of different uses, so it’s important to select your boots according to their end use and intended purpose. This includes the choice of linings, height and the outsole.

Getting the most out of your wellingtons

To keep your gumboots in great condition, it’s important to avoid exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources. UV rays and heat accelerate the aging of rubber, causing it to become less flexible, more brittle, and ultimately reducing the durability and lifespan of your wellingtons.

Best storage tips:

• Store wellingtons in a cool, shaded, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heaters.
• Avoid drying or storing them near radiators, fireplaces, or other heat sources, as excessive heat can cause the rubber to deteriorate or buckle.

Ongoing Care

Regular wear helps keep rubber supple, but occasional care goes a long way. If your wellingtons are stored for extended periods, give them a light clean with soapy warm water and a rubber conditioner before storing and check them periodically to ensure they remain in good condition.

Proper care protects your investment and ensures your Skellerup boots continue to deliver comfort, protection, and reliable performance - season after season.
