Mens Designer Wellies, Yes Wellington Boots!

No, i’m not going crazy and yes I am talking about designer wellies! This winter to complete the designer ‘outdoor’ look the wellington boots are back, and as they’re designer we’re not talking a bit of green rubber and a gum sole. Plenty of thought and time has been put into the design of the boots and now you’ll find constructed sole units, similar to those that you find on a pair of trainers, with the rubber outer built around them. You’ll find fleece lining, pull loops and designer branding throughout, so these aren’t just your normal pair of wellington boots. Designer brands currently on the path to offering more wellies include Lacoste, Havaianas, Hunter, Ralph Lauren and Paul Smith with prices varying between £45 and £200 depending on which design and brand you are looking for.

In terms of commercial designs i have seen some Lacoste wellies that look as though they’ll fit like a glove (as opposed to a pair of wellies!) and be possibly be the most comfortable wellington boots you’ll have ever worn. Fleece lined, constructed on a trainer sole unit these look a little more fashion orientated than Hunters, and cost a fraction of the price at £70. You might not find any zips or heels on the Lacoste or Havaianas wellington boots but you will find comfort and ease of use. Wellies for men will be one of the most sought after pieces of footwear this winter alongside the hiking and military boots that will keep feet dry and warm away from the wind, rain and snow that is bound to appear over the next few months. Green or black wellies, with chinos or jeans tucked into the top and a quilted or padded jacket to keep you warm will leave you looking good, and hopefully as dry and warm as possible. This winter will be a bad one, so make sure that you’re in early and prepare your designer wardrobe to match the weather, wellys or boots will be your best friend this winter 2011!
