Wealsex Women High Heel Ankle Wellies Waterproof Ladies Rubber Wellington Boots Non-Slip Smooth Rain Booties

Product Information

One of the biggest plus points of Hunter wellies is that they are crafted from natural rubber, and are therefore 100% vegan. The use of natural rubber not only makes them the more ethical choice but it means they are less likely to succumb to wear and tear too. They are expensive, but if accidents do happen, the wellies come with a two-year guarantee for extra peace of mind. Before you hit 'add to basket', these are a few things you may wish to consider when selecting a quality pair of wellies for your child. When it came to compiling our list we were mindful of the fact that wellies are needed for an array of different activities. A two-year-old spending the odd 10 minutes splashing in a puddle will have different requirements to an older child going on longer walks or attending forest school. We therefore made it our aim to find a comprehensive list to cover all eventualities. Wellies tried and tested by our users

Many reviewers also recommended Hunter wellies as the best boot for children with slimmer feet, as they offer a narrow fit option for more comfort. The oversized handles are a lovely addition too, not only allowing little ones to pull the wellies on and off themselves, but also making carrying them when muddy far easier. They don’t come particularly high up the leg, however, so if you do opt for these wellies it may be a good idea to team with a pair of waterproof trousers on the rainiest of days. Lining: If you want something a little warmer or with more support it’s worth investing in wellies that are lined. Some have removable lining which can be taken out during warmer weather or to allow you to get a little more wear out of them. WATERPROOF UPPERS: The wellington can be submerged to a point just below the knee, ensuring your feet stay dry when working in wet conditions for extended periods Mine wear them a lot and they have never split. In fact, mine have handed them down to a younger sibling.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user SpanielPlusToddler)The rip-tab adjustments makes these boots easy to get on and off and, as they’re designed for the snow, they have good grip on the treads too. Just be aware that they’re not ideal for spring and summer, so a traditional welly will be better during these months. Pros We have always bought our kids Hunters. They’re great and last until they grow out of them. If they grow out of them before they’re done you can sell them on too. My kids wear wellies to trek round fields so they got proper wear rather than just to splash in the odd puddle on the way to the shop. Mine have been going strong for 10 years too!” (Reviewed by Mumsnet user Norightorwronganswer) STEEL TOE CAP: Protects against impact from falling objects and against compression, giving 200 Joules of protection - equivalent to dropping 20kg from a height of 1m or a weight of 1.5 tonnes resting on the toe area Aigle is a popular brand with many of our Mumsnetters for both kids' and adults' wellies. They come quite high up the calf but remain lightweight, making them an ideal option for particularly messy or wet outings. Not only is the material light, but reviewers also noted that it was more flexible than other brands, particularly around the calf. PROTECTION: Steel toe cap protects against impact from falling objects and against compression, giving 200 Joules of protection - equivalent to a weight of 1.5 tonnes resting on the toe area and protective steel midsole to objects penetrating from below and piercing your foot, such as nails, glass shards and more. A high level of slip resistance means you won't slip over in muddy/adverse conditions, with an anti-static and fuel oil resistant sole

OTHER FEATURES: Energy absorbing heel that reduces foot fatigue; anti-static sole that minimises the build-up of electrostatic charges; slip resistant sole IDEAL FOR: Indoor cleanroom environments where a high standard of hygiene is important such as food preparation, medical, and pharmaceutical As long as your little one doesn’t spend every day in them, wellies are unlikely to do your child’s feet any harm. They can be a little heavier, so it’s worth bearing this in mind if your toddler is only just learning to walk. The combination of assured quality whilst remaining cheaper than some of the other well-known brands made the Crocs a clear winner in our eyes. Why you should trust us The brand probably most synonymous with the wellington boot is Hunter. A trusted brand, Hunter have been keeping feet dry for nearly 100 years.I now have Start-rite Mud Busters and they're fab, especially for this time of year as they're fleece lined." (Brand recommendation from Mumsnet user librarylover53) Snow boots or fleece-lined wellies may also provide a snugger fit and more support. However, if it’s just a romp through a muddy forest or a spot of puddle jumping this probably isn’t something you need to worry about. Should you go up a size in wellies?

Whether your child adores a muddy walk, loves a trip to the beach or quite simply enjoys a spot of good, old fashioned puddle jumping, wellies need to be a firm staple in every little explorer’s wardrobe. But not all wellingtons are created equally and, where one pair will work well until your child outgrows them, others may allow water leakage and are best to be avoided.Many reviewers noted that the Hatley wellies were far roomier than other brands so if your little one has wider feet, this brand is a great option. We particularly loved this gorgeous tractor design which gave them an almost vintage look. However if you don’t have a tractor fan, Hatley wellies come covered in everything from dinosaurs to unicorns so all tastes are catered for. We have had Sainsbury's wellies for four years and never had a problem.” (Brand tried and tested by Mumsnet user SquirtleSquad) Whilst short-term wear won’t do any long-term damage, there’s nothing worse than a little one who keeps tripping over their own feet. That’s why many of our Mumsnetters preferred using snow boots as opposed to traditional wellies. The Decathlon Snow Boot is an excellent option as not only are they well-lined, they also do half sizes to make sure you have an extra snug fit and therefore better support around the ankle.
