This one’s going to be short and sweet, but it’s been a year so I thought I’d share my opinion of my Hunter wellington boots 🙂
Price:
RRP is £80 but I shopped around in the sales and got mine for approximately £60. I think this is definitely at the higher end of the price range for wellies, but the return you get in terms of quality, comfort and looks pays off, honestly.
Durability:
In the year I’ve had my boots, I’ve been to a handful of muddy sports fields on weekends, on a camping trip in Devon for a week (it rained a decent amount, and even when it was dry I wore them basically the whole time!) and on walks around London in the rain. They are just as comfortable as the day I got them, there are no signs of wear apart from some faint mud marks that won’t wash off. I think the boots have dulled a little in colour due to being covered in mud so often, but that’s to be expected- that’s what I got them for! These boots feel like they’ll last and last.
Verdict:
Before I invested in a rain coat and wellies, rain was an inconvenience to say the least. I didn’t enjoy it, and I certainly didn’t go out in it unless I had to. But now I actually love having the chance to put on my gear and head out into a shower! It’s a good investment if you live in a place as rainy as the UK… And spending more time in the outdoors is always something I’ll welcome. I’m satisfied in all areas basically: quality, comfort, looks. Nothing more to say.
