7 best women’s wellies that are waterproof and stylish to boot

This smart pair of wellies is available to shop in black, blue and olive shades. We noted how robust the boots are, while also offering a flexible fit for movement. The chunky soles are sturdy and provide a good grip while walking, so we didn’t slip about on mud or ice. There’s chic Barbour branding throughout, from the tartan pattern inside to the logo running up the back. Our feet stayed dry in the rain and during a beach walk with our dog, while we also appreciated how comfy the boots were to wear out and about.

The first thing we noticed about these classic wellies is how shiny they are, and that’s down to the rubber’s PVC finish. We found the sole’s deep tread offered a good grip on slippy ground, while the full-length shape kept our legs dry in rain and puddles. Practical and streamlined to wear, they aren’t bulky or heavy. The dark denim shade we tried is a fun colour for pairing with jeans now or with shorts in the summer.

A short to mid-height pair of wellies ideal for throwing on quickly, these waterproof boots lend themselves well to gardening, walking and going out in the rain. We liked the bright yellow shade for adding a bit of sunshine to any outfit, with black and navy blue options available to buy, too. The boots came up to our calves, and were roomy on the ankles and legs, which would appeal if you steer away from a tight fit. We paired them with chunky socks for warmth, and found them equally comfortable without that layer during warmer days.

As wellies go, Le Chameau’s Iris boots are a beautiful pair that looks and feels luxurious to wear. They seriously smartened up our dog-walking attire, and we also enjoyed wearing them as normal boots during cold winter days. We’d best describe them as having a riding-boot shape, but being crafted from hard-wearing rubber. The jersey lining is nice and soft, so there was no ankle rubbing or material digging in during trips out. If you’re looking to elevate your outdoor wear, this is the investment pair to buy.

A pretty pair of wellies complete with floral print, these tall boots came up to just below our knees. Made from rubber, they’re totally waterproof and we put this to the test by walking through puddles and wet fields. The cotton lining added extra comfort, and we could fit some fleecy socks underneath when needing additional warmth. The lightweight shape has a lot of give, so they didn’t feel rigid when walking, and we could also fold them, for compact storage. Plus, they’re currently reduced by £30, if you fancy snapping up some bargain wellington boots.

A short, chunky pair of black boots that have a contrasting khaki sole, this is a fashion-forward welly pick. They protected our feet in the rain, and we loved the stylish design. The Chelsea boot panel and ankle loop pull made them easy to put on and take off, for wearable ease. Meanwhile, we don’t think they look like wellies at all, so you could wear this pair for lots of occasions. The thick soles felt springy, and we found them super comfy to wear.

Muck Boot’s Arctic sport II boots have been designed to withstand extreme temperatures, and they certainly pull out all the stops. The standout feature is the 5mm neoprene inner boot, which, along with a soft fleece lining, makes these boots incredibly warm, even in freezing cold temperatures. We found this really made a difference during wintry days. The close fit also helped retain warmth; the boots fit snugly against the leg, although there’s plenty of give. The secure fit also makes these boots ideal for walking long distances.

We wore them during dog walks, as well as short hikes, and found them as comfortable as hiking boots. Plus, the grip is impressive, so we had no problem in muddy or slippery conditions. These boots may be pretty pricey, but they certainly deliver on performance.
