Product Information

And remember that the thick rubber used to waterproof wellingtons means your feet will eventually get hot and sweaty, which can lead to uncomfortable rubbing.

Rule 229 of the Highway Code states that you “MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows”. Look for a supportive sole that doesn’t over-flex, while also being flexible enough to not feel too “stompy”. All our recommended wellington boots are waterproof, although a couple do have fabric sections on their uppers and calf sections.They’re perfect for odd jobs in the garden, for walking the dog or for keeping in the boot of the car in case the heavens open. From illegal footwear to leaving your car running unattended, there’s quite a bit of misinformation out there, as well as ignorance of actual laws.

While having them fitted can be categorised as a modification, which should be declared to an insurer, most UK insurance providers are signed up to the Association of British Insurers Winter Tyres Motor Insurance Commitment.This lining helps to keep the water out, but won’t quite stand up to tough conditions or extended periods of wear. Key features – Material: Natural rubber upper and sole; polyester lining; Height: Tall; Other colours available? These wellies from French company Aigle are made from a tough, abrasion resistant multi-layer rubber, making them a durable boot for when you’re out and about in the muddiest conditions. When your car is stolen in this situation, it’s often referred to as "frost-jacking" and whenever you leave your car engine on, unattended, you are inviting criminals to take your car from you, and your insurer cannot be expected to pay out.

You won’t have to worry about what to do with your trousers or jeans, either, because they’re so well-fitted that all trouser legs fall comfortably over them. However, there are still a small number of insurers that aren’t signed up to the ABI's commitment, so it’s important to check this out as you’ll need to contact them if you’re having winter tyres fitted, otherwise your insurance will be invalid.

If you’re planning on trekking across long distances, waterproof hiking boots might be a better bet. Key features – Material: Rubber upper and sole; textile lining; Height: Ankle; Other colours available? Shorter wellies tend to be easier to walk in, so they may be a better bet for footpaths and campsites.

The sudden change in temperature can cause the glass to expand and contract rapidly, in rare cases causing it to shatter. 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. There are three measurements to consider: your shoe size (taking thick socks into account), your lower leg length, and your calf size.

Yes, they might look a bit “floppy” and are perhaps not as rugged as some of the more expensive options we have listed, nor do they have quite as impressive a grip as, say, a pair of Rockfish Groundhog wellies. Whilst the windscreen and mirrors are the main priority when it comes to removing snow and ice, leaving your number plate concealed could land you in a spot of bother. If your wellies don’t give you full control and you can’t feel the pedals, it’s best to swap them for a safer pair of shoes, as you could risk invalidating your insurance if you’re involved in an accident wearing shoes you know are unsafe.
