Boots that are as stylish as they are soggy-sock-proof...
Walking in the UK always comes with the risk of temperamental showers (read: heavy downpour). While you can always count on an umbrella to keep your hair dry, the same cannot be said for anything below the knee. Wet feet are simply not acceptable. Upgrade those worn leather boots that stain, or worse, leak in the mud and snow, and find the best waterproof boots that lose nothing in the style or comfort stakes this season. Scroll on and shop our edit of the best waterproof boots and walking boots for country and town living.
The Edit: Waterproof Boots
Burberry
Rubber Marsh Stamp High Boots, ÂŁ575
Is there any chicer than a pair of Burberry wellies? The British brand is never one to shy away from wet weather – this is the creator of the iconic trench coat, after all – and its rain boots are the perfect blend of style and substance. Splash around in these waterproof boots, which come decked out in Burberry’s signature check and knight stamp.
Hunter
Unisex Downpour Tall Gloss Wellington Boot, ÂŁ100
For heritage wellies that never go out of style, it has to be Hunter. The brand has been making its premium boots for 170 years, and is beloved by both town and country-goers (including Traitors host Claudia Winkleman) alike. This glossy black pair are understated (and practical) enough to take you from woodsy trail to high street.
Merry People
Tully Ankle Wellies, ÂŁ109.95
With its chunky sole and wraparound cuff, these khaki waterproof ankle boots are a love letter to the 90s. Perfect for more casual fits – think jeans and a T-shirt – it’s easy to imagine strolling along the beach, walking the dog or braving post-rain mud in these.
Sorel
Women’s JOAN FRWD™ Waterproof Chelsea Boots, ÂŁ155
Chelsea boots are arguably the top shoe style for stomping around town – and with these on your feet, you can traverse London’s drizzly street without fear of a soggy sock moment. A sharp black ankle boot with plenty of style (we love a platform sole) and practical durability.
Fairfax & Favor x Le Chameau
L’Alliance Wellington, ÂŁ295
A classic, in wellington form. Fairfax & Favor know how to do country chic, blending traditional styles with modern details and colourways. These green boots feature scalloped edging (a nod to the brand’s signature Regina boot) and customisable tassels (leopard print, anyone?), as well as a neoprene lining to ensure your feet stay warm and dry all day long.
XTRATUF x Finisterre
Ankle Deck Boot, ÂŁ120
A simple boot made for days at sea, Finisterre’s collaboration with XTRATUF is a lightweight ankle boot made from Yulex rubber and Seawool. With its streamlined silhouette and high-traction chevron outsole, these are sturdy boots that will let you brave the beach, coast and town, whatever the weather.
Barbour x Sorel
Caribou Horizon GTX Waterproof Boots, ÂŁ340
Another entry from Sorel – this time in collaboration with British heritage label Barbour. The brand’s first duo creation, these boots are made for outdoor activities, with a leather and Gore-Tex fabrication giving waterproof protection (as well as stylish contrast colour palette). Perfect for days spent hiking in the British countryside.
