FAQs

Are your boots British made? 

Energy costs are huge in mixing the rubber and vulcanizing the boots which makes it prohibitive in the UK high energy cost programme. We design and field test the boots at our family farm in Warwickshire and the boots are produced in a facility in Europe who we work very closely with.

 What is your warranty?

The boots are guaranteed against manufacturing fault for one year but we will always look at an issue to see if it is a failure of the boot.

Are Gumleaf boots good for dog walking? 

Our boots are designed for 24/7 use – something you want to put on every morning. We have some customers hiking over 20 miles a day in our boots.

Do I order a size larger for sock?

We recommend that you order whatever your shoe size is. This works for nearly everyone and there is room for socks.

Can I wear neoprene lined boots all year?

If you wear boots a lot in the summer then cotton lined ones make sense but for the occasional summer outing neoprene is fine and adds to the comfort.

How do I prolong the life of my boots? 

To ensure a long and healthy lifespan for your boots, wipe clean and leave to dry naturally away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources such as radiators and and stoves (heating will cause the rubber to crack). Use cold, soapy water to clean the boots. Keep in a cool, dry location.

We always recommend the use of a welly oil for your boots. This will help to stop premature cracking, and help keep the natural rubber supple. We recommend Grangers rubber boot care which not only resolves the problem of blooming, it also conditions and restores shine to all rubber footwear.
