How to choose your waterproof pair
- Membrane vs. treatment: Membranes offer inside-out protection; water-resistant leathers shed light rain. For daily showers, pick a membrane style.
- Grip: Choose lug/tread soles for slick pavements and leaf-strewn paths.
- Warmth: If you run cold, look for warm-lined styles; otherwise stick to breathable linings for all-day comfort.
- Fit: If you wear thicker socks or orthotics, try wide fit or lace-up designs for adjustability.

Care & longevity
- Wipe off rain and dirt after wear; let boots dry naturally away from radiators.

FAQs
Are TEX boots fully waterproof?
They’re designed to keep out rain and splashes in everyday use while remaining breathable. Avoid prolonged submersion.
Do waterproof boots breathe?
Yes—membranes allow moisture vapour to escape while blocking larger water droplets from entering.
How often should I re-proof?
Every few weeks in very wet weather, or when water stops beading on the surface. Always use the correct product for leather or suede.
Are there wide-fit waterproof options?
Yes—see our Wide Fit Boots and filter for waterproof/TEX styles.
