3 of the best Wellington boots
Words: Guy Aubrey Devito
Winter is welly season and there’s nothing like a good pair to splosh around the countryside in. Here are a few of our favourites right now.
OLIVER BROWN
Oliver Brown’s Le Chameau Chasseurnord boots are the ultimate in comfortable country apparel. Crafted from natural rubber by a ‘master boot maker’ in Normandy, the Chasseurnord style features a full-length zip and 3mm neoprene lining to ensure comfort, insulation and a snug fit. The soles are multi-terrain and will provide a firm grip – whether you are in the highlands or Richmond Park.

HUNTER
The Original Tour by Hunter is a reimagining of their iconic ‘Original’ boot. Made of a special lightweight rubber, the leg of the boot can be folded down around the shoe, to ensure easy packing. The trademark hunter ‘moustache’ and buckle strap have been included in the design, making this the ultimate combination of traditional elegance and modern style.

AIGLE
Parcours by Aigle have been designed with tiredness in mind and have tri-density rubber soles that quite literally put a spring in your step. The polyester weave that provides insulation also dries extremely quickly so, if you get them wet, your feet should get dry in no time at all. Available in a variety of colours, these Parcours are as unique a Wellington boot you will see.
