Lakeland Active Women's Rydal Neoprene Insulated Rubber Wellington Boots

Product Information

Let’s face it – it rains a lot in Britain. Our temperamental climate means that owning a good pair of wellingtons is essential in any season, and their reliable waterproofing make wellies a useful option for gardening, dog walking and working outdoors. Founded in the unforgiving landscape of North Cumbria, Lakeland Active create wearable outdoor essentials with inbuilt reliability.

Lakeland Active | Wearable Outdoor Essentials

Last but not least, we need to look at how the Active Rydal boots handle cold temperatures. The 5mm layer of neoprene is able to provide warmth and comfort right down to temperatures as low as -20°C The grip is decent enough, but you’ll need to keep the boots clean to avoid slipping in wet conditions, as they’ve got a fairly shallow tread. Overall, a lovely choice for enjoying the outdoors in autumn and spring, and as a plus, this model is available in half sizes so you can find your perfect fit for all-day comfort. Based in North Cumbria, Lakeland Active creates wearable essentials inspired by real outdoor life in the Lakes. Family-run and influenced by our Cumbrian roots, we have spent years testing our products in the local terrain - the valleys, fells and (often overflowing) waters of the Lake District. The poppers on the changing towel keep coming undone, so very revealing and defeats the purpose of a changing towel, I probably should have realised this before buying it.Sustainability creds: One factory holds Social Accountability International – SA8000 certification, vegan, and cruelty-free production The popular brand’s Original Tall Wellington Boot is quite the fashion statement, and an obvious choice for festival-goers. Wellington boots have become very popular in the past few decades, which has meant the market has become flooded with loads of new brands. This has made it harder for the customer to know the good wellies from the bad wellies.

Eco Friendly Wellington Boots - Lakeland Rubber Wellingtons

When it comes to functional wellington boots, comfort is high on the list of requirements, and the Lakeland Active Rydal boots don’t disappoint. The 5mm neoprene insulation makes wearing the boots a pleasant experience, especially during long walks through uneven terrain. While some wellington boots can cause fatigue, the Rydal boots provide the same great comfort level throughout the day. The grip could be better so we wouldn’t recommend taking these boots for a hike in the hills, and there’s little insulation which means they're not the warmest, but there’s still plenty to love. The boots are durable, waterproof and comfortable to wear - plus their stylish appearance can’t be denied. Parcel force left it out in the rain and the shoes were water logged when I got then. I rang Lakeland activ and they replaced them for me. The company was fabulous. Parcel force let us both down. A classic grass-green design paired with cosy insulated lining, there’s a lot to like about this well-made, premium wellington boot.

We hope our guide has helped you find the perfect pair of wellington boots for the muddy months ahead! While the Ariat Kelmarsh Rubber Boot has a similar look to many other tall, non-insulated welly on the market, the soft jersey lining and bouncy insole give this model an edge on the comfort scale.
