Product Information

These wellies are nice and light, so well suited to long walks with the dog, as well as pottering in the garden.' There are, obviously, bigger problems with which to concern oneself, but few have a more pressing impact on my day-to-day existence (juggling dog walks with work deadlines and the school run) than the search for the perfect, versatile wellington boot. A boot for all occasions. It’s more than practicality now – wellies are something of a status symbol,” says welly expert Fiona Coe of Coes, an independent chain of clothing and country attire shops in Suffolk and Norfolk. That’s why so much has been made of the fact that the Princess of Wales’s favourite brand is Le Chameau (whose sales rose 36 per cent once it was known.) Coe favours Barbour (“If you want a good pair at a reasonable price, that you know is going to last you, they’re the ones to go for”) and the new heritage country-wear brand Holland Cooper, whose sherpa-lined Wellingtons are a popular urban-country hybrid option. My 11-year-old son tested these boots and took the role seriously, clambering up to the top of a wet Welsh hill, wading through shallow streams, traversing bogs, conducting a mud fight, yet these held up to it all. They’re made to be a working boot and it shows.

Booked in for flu jabs for myself n hubby today. Got there to be told they have not available. If they can text day before with reminder surely they can ring or text to let you know non available and cancel appointments without waiting for you to actually go to store I have very slim calves so it's normally an issue to find things that don't look like Santa's boots 🙈Hunter is the welly choice of the Duchess of Cambridge, who was often spotted in the Original Tall Boot at the beginning of her relationship with Prince Harry, along with a Barbour coat and Mulberry bag. All leather and goretex liner, treat leather with ledergris and it's 100% waterproof to ankle depth+ 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.

Having tested these on a 10 mile walk around Cornwall in that soggy time between Christmas and New Year, I can confirm they really are comfortable. I actually look forward to wearing them, and then forget they’re on my feet for most of the walk. The wellington boots are completely waterproof too - the Cornish weather tested that for me, they dry off within minutes and are easy to clean thanks to the natural rubber. They are expensive so I scour sales looking for cheap pairs. The current ones I found in Decathlon. Le Chameau is a true heritage brand; it was founded in 1927, and both Prince Harry and the Princess of Wales have been pictured sporting a pair of their wellies. The Vierzonord Wellingtons come highly recommended by Hillary Bacon of Cordings, too. It’s no wonder they have the royal seal of approval; each pair of Le Chameau boots is handmade by an individual “maître bottier” (master bootmaker), and they’re understatedly stylish, with a flash of a bright blue lining, and of excellent quality. They’re made from natural rubber and come in sizes UK 2.5-14 and three colour options.Comfort. Looked at how easy they were to put on and take off, general size and fit, as well as suitability for a range of gardening jobs and walking. Make sure they’re comfortable to wear and fit well. In our descriptions of each pair of wellingtons, we’ve noted if the sizing is particularly large or snug. We’ve also highlighted features that we found improved or impeded the comfort of each pair. 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. Not reliable !!!
