Why Use Garden Wellies?

Gardening wellington boots are the ideal choice of footwear for working outdoors. They’re designed to be versatile and protect you in all weather conditions. Here are the main features that make them a must-have piece of gardening attire:

Waterproofing: Wellingtons are made from rubber which is designed to be fully waterproof for protection in wet and raining conditions. Paired with waterproof gardening trousers, most gardening wellies come up to your knees and offer a full layer of waterproofing to keep your feet and legs safe and dry.

Durable and versatile: The high-quality craftsmanship of a classic wellington boot allows you to wear a single pair of shoes for work in the garden or on the farm all year round. They're resistant to rips just like reliable gardening jackets & coats and won’t get damaged by dirt as they’re easy to wipe clean.

Comfortable for long use: Whether you’re walking, weeding or working, a pair of gardening wellies will offer you support to prevent foot fatigue, whilst the flexible material allows you to comfortably bend to complete tasks without restricting your movement or digging into your legs.

What to Look for in Gardening Wellies

When picking the right pair of garden wellington boots there are a few factors you need to consider.

A Snug Fit: Garden wellies need to have a comfortable fit to avoid discomfort when walking. If your wellies are too big or loose, your feet will slip around which causes the material to rub against your feet, leading to sores and less stability. Ensure your wellies are the right size and have room for thicker socks and trousers in winter.

Sturdy Soles: Garden wellies are primarily used in rain and with wet weather comes slippery conditions. Your wellies need to have a sturdy sole with a firm grip that will keep you firmly on the ground and prevent any falls. Footwear like gardening boots will also offer this support as well as foot protection for working with sharp plants and debris.

Slip-on and off: Due to the rubber material used in garden wellies, it’s sometimes difficult to put them on and off because they don’t have a lot of give. To save time and effort, a great pair will have a pull hook to get them over your legs and hard heels to help slide them off.
