Zamberlan topped our walking boots survey. The brand was founded near the Piccole Dolomiti (Little Dolomites) mountain range in northern Italy and according to its customers, its boots would stand up to alpine terrain. Zamberlan’s boots, including many made from Italian leather, get the full five stars for comfort, durability, fit and water resistance. Before you go, ensure your child is up to date with all childhood vaccines as some childhood illnesses not seen in the UK still occur in many countries. Any additional vaccines necessary for travel-related illness should be considered and discussed with your Boots Pharmacist.

These boots are waterproof and feature rugged Vibram soles for cushioning and traction on slippery surfaces. While they may not offer much support and may not be the most stylish option for urban wear, they are well-suited for hiking on easy-to-moderate trails. Besides the terrible style, they’re an excellent fit for most outdoor enthusiasts. Of course, affordability does require them to sacrifice performance and quality. If you plan to express your milk either during your journey or while abroad, you may wish to consider carrying a hand breast pump with you, as electricity supplies may be intermittent or unavailable when required. When using a breast pump, make sure you wash it well with soap and clean water and dry it in a fly-free environment. Customers must bring their passport to the appointment to verify their identity, without this, the test will not be able to go ahead.verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Domestic cruise operators departing and returning from the UK will have a vaccination policy and require that all passengers present a negative COVID-19 test before boarding.

Most women experience few or no health problems whilst travelling to a different county. However, travel can pose potential health risks to you if you are pregnant. Antenatal and neonatal care might be difficult to access in countries where adequate medical facilities are not readily available. Travel-related illnesses or diseases such as malaria, Zika virus, dengue fever or travellers’ diarrhoea may affect you more severely if you are pregnant. Sheepskin and wool turn up occasionally as welly linings. They’re supremely warm but also hard to clean, and won’t smell particularly nice when your boots get wet.

Comfort and support are also important unless you want your wellies to end up gathering dust in the loft. Look for a supportive sole that doesn’t over-flex, while also being flexible enough to not feel too “stompy”.

For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy. Today, nearly 20years and 90 countries later, it’s still in my wallet. Despite its tattered and dishevelled appearance, it’s every bit as important to me now as it was then. Grip is almost as important as waterproofing if you’re intending to walk through mud. Dog walks in rainy conditions can be hazardous affairs if you don’t have boots with grippy rubber soles. The more nodes and bumps the soles have, the better they’ll be at gripping to a surface. That’ll make them more comfortable to walk in, too, because you don’t have to work so hard to stay upright! However, a narrower tread makes for easier walking on a hard surface. The very best wellies combine both types of tread. It is strongly recommended that, where possible, you should speak to your midwife or GP well in advance of your trip (at least 6-8 weeks). They can help ensure that your health is stable enough for your trip and that you are fit to fly. Ask your midwife or GP for a medical certificate confirming your due date and ‘fitness to fly’. Most airlines will request this after 28 weeks of being pregnant (gestation) before allowing you to board the plane.
