Which Hunter Wellington boots should I buy?

Home -> Articles -> The perfect wellington boots

We can't rely on the good old British weather to keep us warm and dry so practical, comfortable outdoor wear is an absolute necessity.

Since they were introduced to the British aristocracy in the early 19th century by the 1st Duke of Wellington, Wellington boots have become a firm national favourite.

Today, the Wellington boot is worn by country folk and town folk both young and old, from farm workers and shooting enthusiasts to festival goers and dog walkers. Green wellies are most popular in this country although vibrant colours and designs are becoming increasingly common, especially among women and children.

Wellington boots have so many uses that they are in an entire league of their own and just like many of the everyday items that we have come to rely upon we often wonder how we ever coped without them.

No matter what you want your wellies for, you can guarantee that Hunter has designed a pair intended precisely for that job. If you want to know which type of Hunter Wellington boot will be ideal for you take a look below:

Working and general use

For day-long wear, lasting comfort and general use try The Original, the Huntsman or Huntress. These weatherproof wonders will keep your feet warm, dry and ready for action. Their traditional calendared outsoles offer flexibility and are even self-cleaning.

The Hunter Galloway and the Hunter Classic are knee length, all-purpose Wellington boots with cushioned footbeds. They offer a choice of a standard or neoprene lining for added cosiness when out working or taking part in leisure pursuits in cold weather conditions.

Stalking and rough terrain

The Hunter Abernethy wellies not only offer full protection from the elements but also have dual density, shock-absorbing, resilient outsoles with a reinforced step for use on the roughest terrains.

Shooting

The Sovereign and the Royal Hunter are the Wellington boots to wear out in the field. These unisex wellies are not only designed for easy donning and doffing but offer the luxury of a full grain leather lining, multilayered insulation and a Goodyear welted commando-style outsole or the choice of a styrene studded outsole with the Royal Hunter.
