Walking & Hiking Wellies

The famous wellington boots, affectionately known as “wellies,” are a quintessentially British icon.

In the early 19th Century, wellies were a historic staple of British aristocracy and the middle class. And now, these popular boots have become an outdoor necessity for men, women, and children.

Women's Wellies

Most of us have owned a pair of wellies at some point in our lives. Whether you're walking the dog, going to a festival, or trudging through mud on a fun family day out, a sturdy pair of women's wellies will keep your feet dry.

When buying a pair of wellies, grab a pair in your normal shoe size. Wellies tend to run true to regular UK shoe sizes, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding a well-fitting pair. Although if you're buying them for the cold winter months and plan to wear thick socks with them, then you might want to think about sizing up.

Men's Wellies

Men's wellies come in a range of different colours and styles for every occasion, so before you buy a pair, you need to think about what you're going to use them for.

Firstly, you have the basic everyday wellies, perfect for the occasional country stroll, walking the dog, or tending to the garden. Then you have work wellies, which are tough and durable, offering the most all-round protection for those working in agriculture or with industrial chemicals. And finally, you have statement wellies, which are great for festivals and come in a range of colours and designs to suit your personal style.

Kids' Wellies

Wellies are a great option for kids. These rubber boots are comfortable and hard-wearing, and your little ones will have fun jumping up and down in muddy puddles.

The best kids' wellies are durable, comfortable, and waterproof, and there are lots of fun colours and designs to choose from. Team their wellies with a kids' waterproof jacket and some waterproof trousers to keep your little ones dry in the rain.
