For the Love of Wellies


I first discovered Hunter wellies about ten years ago.  They are by far a quality rubber rain boot. Clearly Hunter's craftmanship is top notch since my boots have endured snow and the salt used to melt it, rain, and muddy fields.  They have a natural blooming process in which the high quality rubber will turn white over time, however, my wellies have not cracked under the years of pressure. Hunter wellies are very versatile.  They can be worn out into the woods while camping, into swamps to keep your feet dry and even cleaned up for an out to dinner look.

Hunters are timeless and come in a variety of colors in two finishes.  Wellies are sold in a gloss, which I think is a dressier version, as well as matte colors.  Traditional boots come in tall and short. Better yet, the brand releases special edition boots throughout the year including textured varieties. Hunter has expanded beyond the traditional boot - the company now offers slip on shoes, liners for their boots, and apparel.

I'm a huge fan of items the Duchess of Cambridge wears including her Le Chameau Ladies Vierzonord Wellington Boots but ultimately prefer Hunter Original Tall Rain Boots for their affordability and range of options available to mix and match with outfits.

Don't be afraid to get your wellies dirty.  The boots are very easy to clean when paired with soft cloth and the special cleaner called Hunter Boot Buffer.  I prefer to wear kitchen cleaning gloves while polishing my wellies.
