The boots are built to last, with many customers expressing satisfaction with their long-term durability, making them a good investment for the price. A memorable year and the beginning of a long, hugely successful journey for a humble waterproof lace-up boot. Over the past 70 years the Dryboot has survived varying forms of competition from major manufacturers but continues to be one of the UK’s most popular, best value and most reliable waterproof boots for those seeking an alternative to a cumbersome knee length wellington. The year was 1953. Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in Westminster Abbey, Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing became the first people to scale the summit of Mount Everest, women wore full skirted dresses with stiffened petticoats, men favoured three piece suits with fedora hats. Pubs closed at 10pm, cars, televisions, washing machines were all becoming more popular….and the very first ‘Dryboot’ rolled off the production line. In the meantime, we make no apologies for adding Xula Transparent Face Masks to our range - albeit, hopefully, temporarily. We have recently discovered, via a friend, these amazing masks that allow expressions and emotions to show - so important when social distancing is increasing isolation. How many of us have realised how much we lip read? Impossible with a mask. It must be so difficult for the hard of hearing. How frightening must it be for little children and the mentally disabled to see only half of a face, despite the pretty patterns below! One cannot smile now without the need to over exaggerate the eye squinting, in an effort to prove happiness or approval!! If you’d like to gain skills and tips about how to walk safely and enjoyably with confidence in the hills whatever the weather, how about joining us for our Navigation Training for Beginners (or Refresher) morning on Saturday 14th November?Some customers have reported issues with the durability of the Dry Boot, claiming that it wears out or develops leaks sooner than expected. was a busy year for Dryboots and 2018 is already breaking records. Another 1200 pairs are en route to keep up with demand. The Harris Dryboots features 100 % waterproof rubber construction with a cotton lining and sturdy laces. Self cleaning, anti-clog soles make them ideal walking boots and suitable for almost any terrain. 'D' Ring lacing and full lining with additional padding to the ankle and along the footbed mean they stay confortable and last well. We have had several customers who report wearing the same pair of Viking Dryboots for 25 years (!) and the new Harris Waterproof boots are made by the same manufacturers using the same materials to the same high standards.

For frustratingly too long I have struggled to get the right, supportive footwear for my woodland dog walking; I like to hose my boots off and keep them on all day, in and out of the house. It rained so hard today that I was delighted to put on my Harris Waterproof Dryboots that I bought earlier this year fromThe Dryboot Company

About Millets

As a result of pressure from customers old and new, discussions are under way with regard to producing the Dryboot under our own brand name. The Harris Dryboot. Watch this space! From Bridgedale, to Viking and most recently, Harris – the Dryboot has changed little in it’s 70 year life. It is still manufactured in the same factory in Malaysia, using the same high quality natural rubber and production processes…a true testament to it’s success. Among the many thousands of dedicated ‘Drybooters’ we are proud to supply boots to several professional walking guides who have reported over 1000 miles of use from one pair. No trading before 10am. If you are repeatedly told not to buy or trade before 10am future bookings will be cancelled. In the meantime we wish all our customers, old and new, a peaceful, happy Christmas and a healthy, brighter and more positive New Year. APRIL 2022 The Dryboot is well proven as one of the best waterproof boots, made for for situations that call for a short, lace-up waterproof boot, rather than a cumbersome knee length welly. A deep, wide gusset provides easy access and removal. The integral steel shank built into the sole gives superior strength for heavy digging or when walking over rough terrain.

We have made a small design change to the heel of the Dryboot - this has not only improved the comfort around the ankle area but has reduced the weight of the boot, without compromising on support.Buses 319 (Sloane Sq to Streatham) and 49 (White City to Clapham Junction) stop nearby on Battersea Bridge road which is a 10-15 minute walk away. The Dryboot Company was formed in July 2010 by Malcolm & Barbara Harris, former directors of 'The Welly Shop'. This is a brief history of the Harris Dryboot..... The boot's waterproof features ensure your feet stay dry and comfortable, making it ideal for outdoor activities or unpredictable weather conditions.
