subject: Enjoy The Rain With Wellies! [print this page] The Wellie, also known as a wellington boot, a top-boot, a gumboot, or a rubber boot, is a type of boot based upon Hessian boots. It was worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington and fashionable among the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.
The word 'wellie' is a slang for icky weather and they sure do help you breeze through mucky and marshy weather smoothly. Perfect for rainy days, these boots can be worn on other occasions too like during field-sports, farming, water-aid, festivals and adventure sports. Enjoy gardening and experience foot and lower-leg protection with insulated rubber materials while you water plants, mix soil, and prune shrubs. These boots are also often worn while fishing and hunting. And whatever you do, youll do it in style in these boots!
These shoes are not just shoes they are a piece of art! They are so vibrant, colourful and have so many designs and patterns to choose from. You would definitely want to pick more than one pair! There are wide varieties of shoes available in the market and among them making the selection can often become confusing. If you are in search of a good pair of shoes for your feet, you must try out the Wellies.
Only buy boots that are water-repellent and flexible, with an anti-bacterial lining. Choose a style that suits your personality, style and wardrobe (such as zebra stripes, rainbow-colours, or solid black). Make sure the fit is proper. There should be a little roomy in the toe-box. Additionally, they should pull over pants with little struggle. If the boot fits too snugly against the calf, try another brand or size up by a half-size. If you plan on pairing them with shorts or dresses, choose boots that are more fitted.
Walk with confidence through muddy grass and freshly fallen snow. Embrace your inner child by jumping through puddles. These high boots are made of water-repelling materials (such as classic rubber) to protect the foot and calf from unwanted elements. Durable and comfortable they can be worn anywhere for puddle, rain, mud, and snow protection. Clean and store Wellies properly. After each wearing, rinse the outside with fresh water, cleansing them of dirt and debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent odour and mildew growth.
