Muddy rainboots on shelf

We love wellies in the UK. No other country has taken the humble rubber boot quite so much to its heart. It must be something to do with how much rain and mud we have to walk through. Nothing else is as convenient and comfortable for the average condition of the British landscape although wellies are now so stylish you see them at sun-baked festivals and in town too. When choosing yours for dog walking, hunting, fishing or shooting, it’s good to look at wellies that are insulated to take the cold and more fitted than a farmer might wear. Neoprene, the material used in wetsuits works well in wellies to add warmth and manufacturers are making boots that are designed to be worn all day.
