While tall wellies are built for wading through deep mud or high marshland, this short Chelsea-style variation is designed for lightweight agility and effortless urban wear. It offers the same 100% waterproof protection around your feet and ankles, but gives you the freedom and polished aesthetic of a standard boot—making it perfect for transitioning from a rainy street straight into a coffee shop. What exactly is a 'back kicker' and how do I use it? A back kicker is a small, raised rubber ridge located right above the heel on the back of the boot. It is engineered to let you step on the heel of one boot with the toe of your other foot, allowing you to easily slip your feet out of the boots completely hands-free—saving your hands from getting covered in wet grime or rainwater after an outdoor excursion. How should I clean and store these rubber boots to stop them from cracking? After a muddy trek, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water to remove debris. Never dry them next to a radiator or direct heat source, as this can dry out the rubber and cause it to crack over time. Store them upright in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to keep the rubber supple and flexible. Upper - Other Materials, Lining & Sock - Textile, Sole - Other Materials.
