Mine were great at first, after 5 short walks they started leaking. The upper was coming away from the sole. Key features – Material: Leather upper, polyurethane sole, Vibram vulcanised rubber outer sole; Waterproofing: eVent; Sizes available: UK 4-12 Durability: A pair of trainers or cheap wellies will barely get you through a few long walks, even on the least punishing surfaces. Good dog walking boots are made of tougher stuff. They’re arguably the most important part of your dog walking kit, and therefore an important part of your daily life for years to come. So invest in a really well-made pair of rubber or full-grain leather walking boots. The strict criteria we have for countrywear is that they are fit for purpose, durable and look good,” says Hillary Bacon of Cordings, the traditional country outfitters in Piccadilly, London. She likes royal-approved Chameau boots but notes they are a significant outlay and by no means the only option.
Comfort and support are also important unless you want your wellies to end up gathering dust in the loft. Look for a supportive sole that doesn’t over-flex, while also being flexible enough to not feel too “stompy”. Key features – Material: Leather upper, EVA midsole and footbed, rubber sole; Waterproofing: Yes; Sizes available: UK 2.5-11These are bouncy and light and very comfortable even after a day in the garden, and are great for walking the dog too.’
These wellies claim to be ‘the most comfortable in the world’. That may sound like a marketing spiel, but on testing I found them almost as comfortable as trainers, thanks to the springy ‘honeycomb’ mesh in the footbed and heel, plus the lightweight, flexible rubber of the boot. I didn’t take them for a run, but they are so comfortable and supportive that I swear I could have. Although they’re unlikely to be the top choice for fashionistas, they look decent, and come in three colours. They look a quality boot but I need something Thats comfortable to walk in as I want them for carp fishing but also walking the river in long grass need to be totally waterproofI have high arches and struggle with very flat shoes, so I was really pleased these boots support my foot shape and feel comfortable.’
Anything longer than an ankle boot will need to feel comfortable on your calves. Look for a snug fit that doesn’t wobble around while you walk, but which isn’t so tight that you can’t move comfortably. Look out for wellies with an adjustable strap on the calf, so you can change the width of the wellies depending on your own calf size. A couple of our recommended wellies have adjustable straps and flexible gussets to help you get the perfect fit. Also look for zips to help you get long wellies on and off.Waterproofing . That’s what wellies are for, after all. All our recommended wellington boots are waterproof, although a couple do have fabric sections on their uppers and calf sections. So, while they’ll keep water off your feet, they’re not waders! For maximum waterproofness, go for a rubber upper and sole, and Gore-Tex lining. Gore-Tex is a patented lining that’s 100% waterproof and completely breathable. It’s ingenious: the membrane stops water from getting through from the outside, but does allow water vapour (eg sweat) out the other way. As well as keeping your feet dry, this also ensures comfort by cutting down on clamminess and chafing. Fab stuff. All leather and goretex liner, treat leather with ledergris and it's 100% waterproof to ankle depth+ Trying to get your wellies on is infuriating when you’re a child. That’s why Hunter has designed these with a big handle on the top, which also doubles as a carry handle, so your little one can get their wellies on with ease. The selling point to these Aigle Parcours Two wellies is the brand new ‘anti-fatigue’ technology, meaning you can walk further without getting tired. This is thanks to the tri-density sole which has a cushioning rubber inset, a stabilising midsole, and a 360 degree gripping sole inspired by a chamois mountain goat hoof, no less. Essentially, they absorb impact better than other wellies, meaning you feel less strain on long walks.
As so many people have said, walk to your swim in walking boots, then when you get there change into other boots. Key features – Material: Rubber upper and sole; soft rubber midsole; Height: Tall; Other colours available? No; Sizes available: UK 5-11 If you don’t anticipate romping through wet marshlands, and just want to keep your feet dry as you travel from A to B, then ankle wellies are a lot less restrictive than tall wellingtons. They’re easier to pull on and off, too, and these boots also sport elasticated gussets at the ankles that give them a smart, Chelsea boot appeal. They’re perfect for odd jobs in the garden, for walking the dog or for keeping in the boot of the car in case the heavens open. And not only are they perfect for anyone who thinks they hate wellies – they’re very affordable too.Leather makes for durable and hard-wearing boots. Manufacturers often treat leather with a protective coating to ensure it stays soft and waterproof for years. It’s warm, breathable, flexible and luxurious, but you’re looking at a higher price tag. But my god the soles ,have no grip virtually in very wet weather,and where you walk the crease across the boot tends to split long before it's time,I'm on my third pair,when time come,going to get some Rovex or Navitas lites..
Great Deal
