Care Instructions

Cleaning and care instructions

Pokeboo are made from lightweight natural rubber to make them flexible, foldable and easy to carry. As with all natural rubber products, a little care will help keep your Pokeboo in good condition.

  • After wearing, allow your Pokeboo to dry thoroughly before storing them, particularly after prolonged use or in warm conditions.
  • Remove the footbeds/insoles to allow both the inside of the boots and the footbeds to dry fully. Moisture or perspiration trapped inside the boot can otherwise build up and may feel like water ingress.
  • Wash the exterior with lukewarm water. If the inside needs cleaning, remove the footbed and wash by hand.
  • Allow boots, footbeds and insoles to air dry naturally in the shade. Do not tumble dry or use radiators, heaters or other direct heat sources.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and strong light, which can contribute to natural-rubber degradation.
  • Keep away from oils and petroleum products, which can react with natural rubber.
  • You may notice a white powdery film known as "blooming". This is a natural characteristic of rubber and does not mean the boots are faulty. It can be gently wiped away with a damp cloth.
  • If the rubber feels sticky, wipe the boots clean and allow them to dry before storing.

How to store your Pokeboo

Always store Pokeboo indoors once they are clean and completely dry. Do not leave them stored outdoors for prolonged periods, even under cover.

Outdoor conditions can change considerably through the seasons. Prolonged exposure to sunlight/UV, heat, cold, moisture, humidity and changing temperatures can accelerate the natural ageing and degradation of rubber.

  • Store in a cool, dry, dark place indoors, away from direct sunlight, strong light and sources of heat.
  • Once completely dry, Pokeboo can be kept in their carry bag ready for your next adventure.
  • Avoid leaving anything heavy on top of the boots or storing them under pressure for long periods.
  • If storing them upright rather than packed, loosely filling them with clean paper can help.
  • Do not leave Pokeboo outside, in direct sunlight or in places subject to large changes in temperature or humidity for prolonged periods.

Safety precautions and allergy warning:

  • Some skin types will react to rubber, if an itch or rash occurs, please refrain from using POKEBOO.
  • Please avoid contact with glass, thorns or other sharp objects. The boots have been designed with comfort in mind and for light or occasional use.
  • If used for an extended period of time, there may result some sweat residue in the interior of the boots. In this case, please dry the boots in the shade after using.

If you have any further queries please don't hesitate to get in contact with us at hello@pokeboo.uk

'Wellingtons with a difference'

Superb design, ultralight, exceptionally comfortable.
A key clue is in the origins of the Pokeboo. Its based on what Japanese rice farmers wear when spending long hours planting and tending rice plants. Hence ultra waterproof and not heavy/tiring to wear all day, but meant for soft, muddy surfaces. There is no need for a thick sole or heel support. I wore them several times on a 10k return journey to nearby lakes. Most of it was on a river bank, woodland and the Pokeboo took everything in its stride - muddy stretches, calf deep water, slippery leaves. I felt I was barefoot, and it was an amazing sensation. However on the road section of the trip I could feel every pebble. Definitely not the only footware I would take on a walk with mixed surfaces. But because they are so light and small, I can now leave my Wellingtons behind and wear light ankle boots with all the required foot support for hard surfaces. And have the Pokeboos in the water bottle carrier of my daypack. Come to a stretch of mud with some deep water - slip on the Pokeboos and never worry about cold, wet socks again.

Hi Gerard, thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience! We're really glad to hear how well the Pokeboo Packable Boots performed on your adventure and that they brought you such comfort and practicality. Happy exploring!

Amazing boots

Amazing boots. Love the very snug fit and the way they look, almost like socks for going out in ! Going to get another pair.

Stunning

Beautiful, light, soft boots. Easy to wear and pack.

These are amazing if you’re looking for a barefoot wellie, shame that they don’t have the wide toe box most barefoot shoes have, it’s much more comfortable. Hopefully they add that in the future and I’ll get another pair. If you normally ware barefoot shoes get the next size up as your big toe will be squashed

Great idea.

Lightweight and eminently packable. Glad I ordered 10 and not 9 (I'm 9.5). Not sure how durable they will be and not worn them for any length of time outdoors yet.

Fantastic wellies

I absolutely love these wellies. They're exactly as described, the ground feel is amazing, they pack away beautifully, and their grip is better than I expected.
My only complaint would be that if you're used to barefoot shoes, the toebox does feel a bit narrow. But that's a matter of preference.

Comfy, unique item

Exactly as advertised. Pleasantly surprised at comfort. Quality seems very good. Haven't seen any other boots that can pack away as small as this---pretty unique item but is exactly what I needed, which are high waterproof boots to go in a backpack. I can't speak for durability yet because I haven't had them long enough.

They're here!! Blimey, that was quick.

First off. Forgive my colourful retort. But the Black Pokeboos arrived. I have noticed a few differences from my earlier pairs. Not least on the soles of them.

They've got slightly thicker soles. Don't misunderstand me! That's a good thing. These are a little bit more rigid but still lightweight and protective. Not too bad at all. And still perfectly foldable as well. I have got them on now and will be giving these a test out and about, today.

I have always preferred these - and I still like them. As a little bit of a joke. If you had done these in garish bright colours. I would have gotten a pair, even if bright red in colour. Or bright purple, or any other colour. But the existing colours will do!

They're under way.

Well? Committed a little bit more sooner than was expected. But there it is. Sent for the black Pokeboos on the 19th. In theory, should arrive on the 21st of this month. So I shall wait in home until, at least, 11.30 am on Saturday.

I'm quite familiar with Pokeboos - and very much used to them. These should go with me on a coaching holiday to Scotland in April of this year. I had the Charcoal and the Royal Blue boots in 2020. Both have been very comfortable and may use these for paddle boarding later in the year. I am - understandably looking forward to these coming. Hopefully the Post Strike shouldn't interfere with it - too much!

Black at long last..

I have been hoping that you would have a black variation of these boots for a year. And would be most interested in getting the black Pokeboo boots. Hoping to get these in March.

I've two other pair of Pokeboo boots in the Blue and Charcoal colours and I am hoping to try these out on Paddle boarding in the Spring and Summer months. I have been told that these are popular with the paddle boarding community. And am so curious to try out for myself.

At the start of March I will put in a order for the Black pair and post willing, should get these just before a coaching holiday to Scotland in April.

Please stand by for such an order from me. At that time.

Great rain boot: Barefoot, Waterproof, Packable

Super comfortable rain boot. The rubber is so soft and does not need to be broken in. The size is as expected. I normally wear a size 9 and I ordered a 9. Fit like a glove. We’re in hurricane season now so we get a lot of rain. I’ve walked in numerous puddles while raining and no water comes in. There is a string you can pull to tighten the top of the boot to ensure you keep dry from up top. I’m 5’9 and the boot stops about 2inches below my knee. It comes with a pouch so you can roll them up and easily carry them with you when you travel. Highly recommended!

Perfect rain boots!

Love these boots! I wanted some rubber rain boots to wear for splashing in puddles with my daughter or walking in mud, or other water activities. I don't like the normal ones they all have thick soles and heels that I find uncomfortable and difficult to walk in. I found these from a website for minimalist shoes. Decided to try them and they are amazing. Super light on the feet with flat flexible soles. I was able to walk through deep puddles without getting wet feet and could walk all day in them without getting uncomfortable feet. I also love that they easy to fold up in a bag so I can bring them with me on camping trips without taking up lots of space.
