Joules Women's Crockington Bob Rain Boot 100% Rubber Imported Rubber sole Low, croc-embossed rain boot with stretch insert and grippy lug sole The boots may develop a white wax film on the surface of the rubber that can be wiped off with a damp cloth. This "blooming" effect is not a defect. Blooming is caused when the boots are exposed to extreme temperatures or temperature swings and the wax helps prevent the rubber from weathering.
