Rockfall Wellington boots pack in heaps more features in their range - wellies with oil resistance, a protective midsole, and even in some cases heat resistance up to 300 degrees and cold insulation in case of the other temperature extreme. The Force10 work footwear components used across the Rockfall Safety wellies range, such as a firm nitrile outsole or the TPU advanced scuff caps, make Rockfall safety wellies capable of keeping a grip on the most slippery of surfaces and protect the front part of the shoe from falling objects or collisions; both necessary features given the purpose of wellington boots, and the types of environments they are deployed into. And not only are they perfect for anyone who thinks they hate wellies – they’re very affordable too.

Alongside the feel of the material on the insole, the size of wellie you choose is the defining factor in being comfortable in your Rockfall Safety wellies. If you’re simply after a pair of wellies to keep your feet dry and mud-free, there’s really no need to spend hundred of pounds on a pair of designer boots.

Look out for wellies with an adjustable strap on the calf, so you can change the width of the wellies depending on your own calf size. These contain an international footwear size conversion chart for both men's and women’s feet sizes respectively. But they’re comfortable, sturdy enough to withstand a ramble in the mud, and they’ll only cost you just over a tenner. Yes, they might look a bit “floppy” and are perhaps not as rugged as some of the more expensive options we have listed, nor do they have quite as impressive a grip as, say, a pair of Rockfish Groundhog wellies. And on warm summer days in the garden or woods, you’ll find cool cotton-lined wellies more comfy than thicker insulated linings.The best material for the outer layer, lining and sole of your wellies depends on what you’ll be using the boots for, how much use they’re going to get, and how much you want to spend. Wellies or wellington boots are the best form of footwear protection against wet weather and damp conditions. Cotton/polyester-lined wellies are much easier to pull off than neoprene or soft rubber, though (they don’t stick to your feet, ew!

And remember that the thick rubber used to waterproof wellingtons means your feet will eventually get hot and sweaty, which can lead to uncomfortable rubbing. Rockfall Force 10 boots are some of the best Rockfall has designed, and adding their signature features to wellies only further highlights their practicality. All our recommended wellington boots are waterproof, although a couple do have fabric sections on their uppers and calf sections. Maintaining a waterproof barrier against the elements, they can provide a comfortable dry environment for wearers who spend long periods of time outdoors in all conditions.

If you want waterproof boots for working outside or for wear on freezing winter days, pick something heavy-duty and insulated. There’s comfort as well as performance here, too – the contoured insoles make the Groundhog a good choice if you find that walking in cheap flat wellingtons tends to hurt your feet. That’ll make them more comfortable to walk in, too, because you don’t have to work so hard to stay upright!

Longer wellies are ideal for protecting your clothes from mud, splashes and thorns when you’re out walking, but make sure the boot isn’t too tall to allow you to crouch or kneel.Unlike traditional wellies they’re really easy to slip on and off, and they don’t feel heavy or inconvenient. It’s ingenious: the membrane stops water from getting through from the outside, but does allow water vapour (eg sweat) out the other way. Outside, there’s a thick yet flexible rubber overlay which is resistant to horse urine (for what that’s worth). It keeps the weight of the boots down considerably, and also prevents electrical conduction, and makes them non-static. At Workwear Gurus, we deliver Rockfall Wellington boots to a wide variety of locations across the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, Singapore, India, and the UAE.
