Harris Waterproof Boots Dryboot

Product Information

On a lighter note we are proud to have been selected as a winner of the 2020 SME UK Enterprise Award -

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. 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. 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 It’s been more of a challenge because I have hypermobile ankles and knees, and hence I have to insert my recently acquired, specially moulded insoles to my walking footwear. All other footwear was making my feet wet and potentially damaging my very expensive insoles. ( I know the boots will keep my feet dry because I borrowed my husbands size 44’s!!!)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. 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 Harris Dry Boot is crafted using high-quality materials, ensuring superior comfort and support for extended periods of wear. The boots are designed to be versatile and can be worn in various settings, making them suitable for both casual and formal occasions. The boots are built to last, with many customers expressing satisfaction with their long-term durability, making them a good investment for the price.

From Bridgedale, to Viking and now our own brand name - 'Harris'. This 100% guaranteed waterproof boot remains one of the most successful and long-lived style in the history of waterproof footwear. First produced in 1953, the material quality, design, styling, construction and production process has remained unchanged throughout its long lifetime - a testament to its success. I can’t tell you how happy I am!!! And, they are the comfiest boots I have ever put on! I will appreciate them every time I put them on (everyday!) thank you again. The Harris Dry Boot from harrisdryboot.com is a premium quality footwear option that offers excellent durability and long-lasting performance.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. Wellies are fine for short walks but don’t support your ankles well on rough terrain. And I’m not a fan of soggy feet in wet hiking boots that need drying out overnight. So, whilst it should have been obvious, it felt like a revelation last Christmas when my uncle mentioned that he’d bought the same kind of rubber boots that his father and my grandfather Eric Hemery, Dartmoor guide, lecturer and author had worn to walk the moor most winters and on rainy days. These brilliant boots are warm, waterproof, and have great ankle support. And they’re great for splashing through puddles!
