Water Resistant Dealer Boots

Stay protected from splashes, mud, and light showers with our range of water-resistant dealer boots. Typically rated S2 or S3, these boots feature leather uppers that have been chemically treated or naturally finished to repel water. This gives you enough protection to work in damp conditions, walk through wet grass, or finish a job in the rain without your socks getting soaked immediately.

Water-resistant boots are the standard choice for general construction work in the UK. They strike a balance between weather protection and breathability. While they are not designed for standing in deep water for hours (you need "Waterproof" or "WR" boots for that), they provide sufficient defence for 90% of day-to-day site scenarios.

FAQs

How do I keep my boots water resistant?

Water resistance fades over time as the leather dries out or gets scuffed. You must regularly clean your boots and apply a leather wax, polish, or dubbin. This "feeds" the leather and restores its ability to bead water off the surface.

What is the difference between water resistant and waterproof?

Water resistant means the material repels water for a certain time. Waterproof means the boot is impervious to water (usually via a membrane) and can be submerged without leaking.
