Wellington boots, also known as rubber boots, are specially designed footwear made from waterproof materials, usually rubber or synthetic polymers. Their main purpose is to protect feet from moisture and mud, making them ideal for outdoor work. How are wellingtons categorized, and how to choose the best ones?

What are wellingtons?

Wellington boots, or rubber boots by full name, are tall boots made from rubber or other rubber-like materials. The main advantage of wellingtons is their waterproof quality.

Wellingtons are widely used in agriculture, forestry, gardening, as well as in various industrial sectors where protection from moisture is essential.

Traditional wellington boots are knee-high, providing sufficient protection not only for the feet but also for the lower legs. Thanks to their waterproof properties and resistance to adverse conditions, wellingtons are popular among fishermen, hunters, and hikers who navigate through tough terrains. Nowadays, they are also available in various designs, making them popular not only for their functionality but also for their fashion appeal.

For those working in specific environments, there are also variants of wellingtons with reinforced soles, thermal insulation, or steel toe caps, offering additional protection and comfort.

Choosing the best wellington boots can be difficult, especially nowadays when the selection is vast. Browse our range and get a quick overview of the types of wellington boots available.

Wellington boots with and without steel toes

We can immediately divide wellingtons into two main categories: wellingtons with steel toes and wellingtons without steel toes. Not everyone needs a safety toe cap or a nail-piercing-resistant plate, so we have this quick breakdown for you.

Most of the best-selling models are even available in both versions - with and without steel toes. This distinction is mentioned in the product name and description, but you can also quickly identify it yourself. Wellington boots with steel toes, or safety wellingtons, are labeled with class S4 or S5 (you’ll find this designation in the name). Leisure wellingtons, without steel toes, are labeled with class O4 and O5.

Wellingtons by profession and environment

A popular filter is also by profession or the environment in which the wellingtons are used. Based on our customers' feedback, we have created categories for the most common inquiries.
