Review: "After 30 years of buying boots for dog walking and going to the stables these are amazing! You need these boots and everyone in your family should have a pair. Life-changing. Sounds extreme but they have made my days outside in wet and cold a dream. These are the Range Rover Vogue in wellies."

Sometimes calf-length wellie boots don't cut it on the wettest of days. Tall wellingtons can help to keep your legs and feet warm and keep all the rain out. These Polar Boot options are simple and affordable while doing the job of a knee-length wellington boot.

Material: Synthetic
Closure: Pull-on with side buckle
Pros: Tall keeps the water out, simple and affordable
Cons: Lower quality than other brands
Review: "I’ve waited a while to review to see how they handle life on a stable yard! Other boots in this price range have all failed in a matter of weeks. These are doing well-resisting holes from pitch forks and a LOT of mud. The lining in the boot is pretty non-existent but doesn’t seem to affect the wearability of the boots. I’m super happy as I’m not prepared to pay £95 on a pair of rubber boots."

Printed wellington boots make a wet walk just that much better. Add a splash of colour to your wellies with these Western Chief wellie boots, available in two bright patterns. They're lined with soft polyester cushioning so they're extra comfy, unlike some other wellies.
Length: Calf
Material: Rubber, polyester
Closure: Pull-on
Pros: Prints to choose from, bright patterns, lined with soft polyester
Cons: Only calf-length option
Review: "These came within two days. These appear to be more durable than my bog rubber boots which were very expensive and torn in two weeks. The flower design is cute and cheerful. They have a heel so I may wear these horseback riding as well. Time will tell as I live in rubber boots in our country setting but so far I'm happy."

If you don't want to wade around in tall or calf-length wellie boots, there are also ankle-length wellington boots you can buy too. These Regatta ankle wellie boots are sleek and waterproof but won't rub on your legs. Perfect for everyday walks in the country, dog walkers or gardeners.
