OUR ETHICAL STANDARDS

At Muddy Puddles we work hard to ensure that all of our clothes are produced to the highest ethical standards. We visit the manufacturers we work with every year, ensuring they all have IS2009 certification which means that the social standards in the factories are high and production is to the highest level of safety.

We support Farms for City Children, providing full sets of waterproofs for children visiting the farms, so they can work hard and reap all the rewards from their week on the farm while staying warm and dry. Discover more about how we walk the walk here.

Alongside this we make sure that as a UK company we walk the walk as well as talk the talk in what we believe in. Everyone who joins Muddy Puddles is passionate about our crusade to get families outdoors and is convinced that fresh air and nature is crucial to healthy, happy development.

HOW SHOULD I LOOK AFTER MY WELLIES?

Welly Care

Cleaning - to keep your children's wellingtons in excellent condition for a long time always wipe clean after use using water and leave to dry away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. After cleaning apply a protective spray. If you follow this simple routine every couple of weeks, depending on the amount of wear, and your boots will last months, even years longer.

Store your boots in a cool, well ventilated place, away from strong light. Do not leave on a radiator or boiler to 'dry' – or outside in the cold. Varying temperatures will dry and crack the rubber, especially if a protective spray is not used on a regular basis.

Removing your boots

Try not to use a step to remove your wellington boot - excessive stress being applied to the boot heel may lead to splitting.
