Having boots that can withstand the harsh conditions of your outdoor activities is a good thing in itself. Whether for leisure or for work, when you are often exposed to wet weather, waterproof half-boots are a must. The waterproof nature of Blackfox half-boots allows you to do your gardening with peace of mind, and this depends greatly on the materials they are made of.

If you are looking for a practical and durable pair of half-boots, Blackfox's half-boots benefit from a design that uses innovative materials such as SEBS (a synthetic rubber).  In this selection of half-boots, PVC and natural rubber are the main materials used.

Which material should I choose for optimal comfort?

The main advantage of our outdoor shoes is that they are waterproof. However, it is also important to consider their comfort and durability. To help you in your choice, Blackfox offers a variety of boots with models in different materials:

Predominantly natural rubber 

Rubber half-boots are noted for their flexibility. They offer maximum comfort when this material is used. It is the ideal material in terms of practicality.

Natural rubber gives the half-boots optimal comfort. Rubber models also offer durability, a quality sought after for gardening, muddy sites and walks in the forest.

PVC

For optimum comfort and protection, opt for half-boots made from a strong and perfectly Impermeable material like PVC. Our outdoor half-boots made in PVC are longer lasting.

They are sturdy and will protect you from the thorns of your beautiful roses and from splashes when watering your plants. Lightweight, they won't tire your feet, and they're also easy to put on.

SEBS

SEBS is a special material that has recently been integrated into our products... It is a chlorine and phthalate-free material that gives our half-boots flexibility and resistance to the elements.

How do you clean your half-boots?

Proper care of your boots will prevent you from buying new pairs frequently. Here are some tips:

Tip n° 1

The most common cleaning method is to clean with soap and water. Avoid using hard brushes or abrasive sponges to remove stubborn stains, as this can damage your boots. You can simply apply washing-up liquid to your sponge to make the dirt easier to remove.

Tip n° 2

You should allow your pair of boots to air-dry, i.e. at room temperature, in an airy, cool and dry room. Store your half-boots upright to keep their shape.
