These high-quality Wellington boots are especially suitable for working on the vegetable patch or for walking in long, wet grass or a muddy field.  The fit is very comfortable but not overly snug. The boots are easy slip on and the top of the boot curves in slightly around the leg to prevent extraneous matter falling in. The tread is generously thick and the reinforced toe, heel and ankle offer excellent protection.

This is an excellent heavy-duty boot, with a thick tread for surety of foot and a cushioned interior for comfort. The heel and ankle are reinforced for added protection and the boots slip on easily using the padded tongue. A versatile boot which will stand you in good stead on an allotment or veg patch, but equally so for a long hike in the countryside. Easy to lace up and easy to clean.
