Lakeland Active | Wearable Outdoor Essentials

The boots aren’t as heavy as their chunky soles suggest, and we found they offered the best arch support of any model on test. A solid choice for hillside walks too, the Vierzonord Neo Wellington Boots are pleasingly grippy. Family-run and influenced by our Cumbrian roots, we have spent years testing our products in the local terrain - the valleys, fells and (often overflowing) waters of the Lake District.

Based in North Cumbria, Lakeland Active creates wearable essentials inspired by real outdoor life in the Lakes. While the Ariat Kelmarsh Rubber Boot has a similar look to many other tall, non-insulated welly on the market, the soft jersey lining and bouncy insole give this model an edge on the comfort scale. Parcel force left it out in the rain and the shoes were water logged when I got then. I rang Lakeland activ and they replaced them for me. The company was fabulous. Parcel force let us both down. When it comes to functional wellington boots, comfort is high on the list of requirements, and the Lakeland Active Rydal boots don’t disappoint. The 5mm neoprene insulation makes wearing the boots a pleasant experience, especially during long walks through uneven terrain. While some wellington boots can cause fatigue, the Rydal boots provide the same great comfort level throughout the day. The grip could be better so we wouldn’t recommend taking these boots for a hike in the hills, and there’s little insulation which means they're not the warmest, but there’s still plenty to love. The boots are durable, waterproof and comfortable to wear - plus their stylish appearance can’t be denied.

Comfort. Looked at how easy they were to put on and take off, general size and fit, as well as suitability for a range of gardening jobs and walking. Yes, the boots are 100% waterproof all the way to the top of the shaft Are Lakeland wellies any good?Sole and materials. Focused on grip and how well they coped with mud. We also assessed the heels and soles for digging, as well as if they featured toe caps, were warm and finally, if they were easy to clean.
