About this deal

We have always bought our kids Hunters. They’re great and last until they grow out of them. If they grow out of them before they’re done you can sell them on too. My kids wear wellies to trek round fields so they got proper wear rather than just to splash in the odd puddle on the way to the shop. Mine have been going strong for 10 years too!” (Reviewed by Mumsnet user Norightorwronganswer) The combination of assured quality whilst remaining cheaper than some of the other well-known brands made the Crocs a clear winner in our eyes. Why you should trust us The main problem with wellies when it comes to newly toddling toddlers is the fact that they can be very heavy for little feet. Wellies also tend to be roomier and don’t support the ankle like trainers and shoes do. Material: Most wellies are made from rubber or PVC. Rubber tends to cost more but it will mould to your child’s feet and legs through time and as it’s a more malleable material it may offer more comfort. Neoprene is a synthetic form of rubber, think wetsuit material. It is more lightweight than traditional rubber and can often be warmer. Some of our featured brands such as Aigle and Hunter have introduced wellies made from natural rubber which, whilst more expensive, is a more ethical choice of material.

If we decided to stay indoors every time it rained, it’s likely our children would never see the light of day. We’re far better off getting wrapped up and embracing the British weather, and that means kitting out your youngsters in some appropriate threads. Whilst short-term wear won’t do any long-term damage, there’s nothing worse than a little one who keeps tripping over their own feet. That’s why many of our Mumsnetters preferred using snow boots as opposed to traditional wellies. The Decathlon Snow Boot is an excellent option as not only are they well-lined, they also do half sizes to make sure you have an extra snug fit and therefore better support around the ankle. Although very reasonably priced, the price does seem to jump a little when you’re not buying in the infant sizes so be mindful of this if you’re buying for older children Pros Before you hit 'add to basket', these are a few things you may wish to consider when selecting a quality pair of wellies for your child. Many reviewers also recommended Hunter wellies as the best boot for children with slimmer feet, as they offer a narrow fit option for more comfort.

8. Best wellies for older children: Muddy Puddles Waterproof Wellies

I now have Start-rite Mud Busters and they're fab, especially for this time of year as they're fleece lined." (Brand recommendation from Mumsnet user librarylover53) There’s nothing worse than having to lug around a heavy pair of wellies if you plan on going between them and regular shoes which is why we loved the clever roll-up design of the Joules boot. Not only does this design make them easier to carry but it means they are also lighter to wear.

When it came to compiling our list we were mindful of the fact that wellies are needed for an array of different activities. A two-year-old spending the odd 10 minutes splashing in a puddle will have different requirements to an older child going on longer walks or attending forest school. We therefore made it our aim to find a comprehensive list to cover all eventualities. Wellies tried and tested by our users STEEL TOE CAP: Protects against impact from falling objects and against compression, giving 200 Joules of protection - equivalent to dropping 20kg from a height of 1m or a weight of 1.5 tonnes resting on the toe area As long as your little one doesn’t spend every day in them, wellies are unlikely to do your child’s feet any harm. They can be a little heavier, so it’s worth bearing this in mind if your toddler is only just learning to walk.

How to choose the best kids’ wellies

Whether your child adores a muddy walk, loves a trip to the beach or quite simply enjoys a spot of good, old fashioned puddle jumping, wellies need to be a firm staple in every little explorer’s wardrobe. But not all wellingtons are created equally and, where one pair will work well until your child outgrows them, others may allow water leakage and are best to be avoided. Many reviewers noted that the Hatley wellies were far roomier than other brands so if your little one has wider feet, this brand is a great option. We particularly loved this gorgeous tractor design which gave them an almost vintage look. However if you don’t have a tractor fan, Hatley wellies come covered in everything from dinosaurs to unicorns so all tastes are catered for. Mine wear them a lot and they have never split. In fact, mine have handed them down to a younger sibling.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user SpanielPlusToddler)
