If there is one thing you can rely on, it is the unreliability of the British weather and whilst recent weeks have seen unseasonably hot and sunny weather which has been enough for sandals stocks to be bought in the hundreds, the smart money is still going on wellington boots. Even as we reach mid April, the showers for which the month is renowned are not yet abating and a pair of protective Hunter wellies are still the most practical choice.
Hunter wellies may be best known for the protective comfortable wet weather winter boots, however as the days get longer they still get plenty of use. Hunter has designed their wellington boots for maximum use throughout the year, with an orthopaedic fit for maximum comfort for full day on the feet, and great shock absorption for dealing with either rock hard frozen ground, or hard baked surfaces, but no matter what the time of year, when the heavens open and the ground turns to mud there is no better choice of footwear.
The calf hugging boots with their neoprene insulating linings are of course the bestsellers throughout the colder months; however there is more to Hunter wellies that extreme weather protection, with the company having now expanded their range to better deal with warmer weather, when the chance of a rainy day isn’t that much lower in good old Blighty. For early summer when the music festivals start in earnest, the Hunter wellies range includes limited edition festival boots, which match wet weather protection with exquisite style, ideal for dealing with the Glastonbury mud. The limited edition boots offer the fashion conscious a chance to get protected from the elements, whilst retaining cutting edge style with bright and bold colours, snakeskin textures and strappy numbers with a pearl gloss finish.
When the temperatures really pick up but the threat of rain remains, the short wellington boots come into their own, offering a less restrictive design with moisture wicking linings to help keep the feet cool. Hunter short boots are ideal for dealing with dewy ground for early morning dog walks, and featuring an easy clean design and quick drying design.
However, as the weather gets warmer still, even Hunter wellies can start to get a bit sweaty. When summer starts in earnest, consider making the switch to a pair of Hunter clogs. Featuring a low cut design, a chunky rubber tread and a host of fashionable prints, they are the perfect choice for pottering around the garden. They offer the same vulcanised rubber construction for which the brand is world renowned, without the restriction of their calf hugging boots and thanks to the orthopaedic fit and multi layered insole, ensure comfort over both soft and hard ground. If you want to be better prepared to deal with the British weather, no matter what the season Hunter wellies and clogs are a great choice.
