Our current range are called Riding Rudds specifically to set them apart from other wellies on the market. This is because they allow for safe and easy stirrup removal. Asides from that they are perfect wellies for dog walking, fully supported and cushioned. There’s steel mid-plate under the sole stopping any sharpness and cold underfoot. Extra weight in the form of mud and clay on the tread is not an issue. Grip is good and long walks are a breeze. Rudds are designed to be worn for long periods, something dog walkers and yard workers will appreciate. The sole is perfectly made for rough, wet, icy terrains to make them an even more perfect winter boot. Helping prevent you from slipping and sliding. Although they are perfect for winter, they should only be used for occasional short walking. Not lengthy regular walks. The price is ideal for winter boots and will get you enough enjoyment with your pup.

The best material for the outer layer, lining and sole of your wellies depends on what you’ll be using the boots for, how much use they’re going to get, and how much you want to spend. Here are some of the materials you’ll encounter while shopping. There are plenty of types of wellies to choose from, too. The perfect boot for you will depend on how and why you’ll be wearing it. Do you need a short pair of slip-on wellies for taking out the bins? A warm, comfy pair that’ll protect your legs when walking the dog in the woods? Or a stylish, weatherproof, fully adjustable pair of wellies that are equally at home striding around the city and hiking up and down muddy hills?With a fun print, these ankle-height wellies are ideal for damp days in the garden, walks in wet grass, travel, and other occasions when full-length wellies seem like overkill. Made from natural rubber, they're a relaxed fit. They also have a soft lining, comfortably cushioned footbed, handy loops for pulling them on, and multidirectional lugs in the sole, for traction on slippery ground. 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. Shorter than a standard welly, but still tall enough to cope with puddles and mud, these feel less cumbersome than full-length boots, while being warm - making them great for winter walking. The all-rubber foot panel is supportive and tough, and the waterproof neoprene upper is comfortable and flexible. Good grip, on a par with the other wellies. Just bear in mind that the size and volume are larger than average. Included in the Aigle Parcours is a fantastic polyester, fast-drying lining. The outer material is rugged leather, perfect for a rough terrain dog walk in the hills or the woods. This lining is unique because it keeps the heat in keeping your feet very warm and dry. The best wellington boots are not just for getting you home from mud-soaked festivals. A great pair of wellies will keep your feet warm and dry in the garden, look great for trips to the shops, and even provide support and protection when you’re out for a hike. Forget the foot-shredding wellies you once forked out a fortune for at Glastonbury. The best wellington boots are made to wear for hours and last for years.

A firm favourite in our household, these boots are super-comfortable for walks and everyday adventures. The soles are grippy and protective, while allowing natural foot movement, and the leather uppers are sourced from small-scale farmers with free-roaming cattle. These aren't completely waterproof, so little feet may get wet in deep puddles, but they do protect against wet grass, pavement puddles and rain. These are the perfect solution for regular winter walks. Tried and tested with temperatures at -15, these boots keep your feet and toes nice and warm. Made from fully synthetic, durable materials, these wellies are 100% waterproof and 100% winterproof. Take your doggie out in the snow without fear.

It’s soft, superbly waterproof, and very warm. A bit too warm for summer wellies, in fact. And it can get pricey. Fleece is a budget (and less waterproof) alternative to neoprene.Rudds have designed a hard wearing, lifestyle-led wellington boot. A welly that suits the needs of two key markets – equine and dog walking. It was always our intention to create a welly that was warm, supported and springy. A hard wearing boot that gripped the ground rather than having mud filling the treads and adding weight. A boot designed for all day use focusing on foot posture. Purchasing these dog walking wellies is like buying cushions for your feet. They are so comfortable you will feel like you are walking around in slippers throughout your whole walk, no matter how far you’ve walked. The boots are adjustable to fit nicely; however, make sure you buy the right size, as they don’t come too cheap. Include some drawstrings on the outer side of the wellies, so once your wellies are on, tighten them up and keep the cold out. Perfect! Grip is almost as important as waterproofing if you’re intending to walk through mud. Dog walks in rainy conditions can be hazardous affairs if you don’t have boots with grippy rubber soles. The more nodes and bumps the soles have, the better they’ll be at gripping to a surface. That’ll make them more comfortable to walk in, too, because you don’t have to work so hard to stay upright! However, a narrower tread makes for easier walking on a hard surface. The very best wellies combine both types of tread.

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. Stylish yet practical, these full-length boots combine high-quality leather with a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane for ultimate comfort and protection. The calf width is adjustable, the footbed is secure and cushioned, and the outsole offers decent grip in most conditions. The leather will need regular care, especially if exposed to water - but if well looked after, they'll last. Ideal for pub walks, dog walks, and even horse riding. 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. Combining a rubber lower panel with a smart, full-grain waterproof leather and padded fabric lace-up upper, these boots are a great option for walks with puddles and wet grass, when you don't need the full-length waterproofing of a traditional welly. The contoured, memory-foam footbed offers superb comfort and a secure fit, while the outsole is durable and grippy in all but the muddiest conditions. A great-looking and versatile boot. Men'sComplete with drawstring, these wellies ensure you have the full protection of the boot and comfort and good fitting. Designed to keep you nice and warm on your walks, the leather helps keep you fully protected and looking good. 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”. A great feature that Aigle Parcours wellies provide is a warranty to return them if, for whatever reason, they decide to leak. Polyurethane is used to make cheap synthetic rubber, a mainstay of budget wellies. It does a fine job of keeping the rain out and letting you stride through deep mud and puddles at festivals and while camping, but it’s not suitable for long-term use or hiking. In this rougher terrain, walking in mud, rain, water, or even snow, Rubber wellies will allow a little movement to your lower legs and ankles. PVC wellies are a great price, but you risk them not lasting so long. Leather wellies are now more of a fashion item than a walking boot. Most people choose leather wellies during the winter months and more for days out in the snow. Lighter wellies are great for walking around town and enjoying drinks with friends.

Sheepskin and wool turn up occasionally as welly linings. They’re supremely warm but also hard to clean, and won’t smell particularly nice when your boots get wet. How do I get the right fit? Wellies are just the thing for the mud and endless puddles of a great British winter. But which come out on top when it comes to walking? With their slip-on design and less-than-grippy tread, wellies can rapidly become more of a chore than a pleasure to walk in.
