It's a fact that gardeners sometimes work in the rain, but you'll splash around cheerfully in our fun Wellington-style rain boots. A cut above ordinary rain boots, they have a tough natural rubber outer, quick-drying fabric liner, removable insole and deep-lugged soles for traction on slippery surfaces. They're approximately 10-1/2" high, a comfortable 2-3" below the knee on most people.

  • Fun footwear for stormy weather
  • 100% waterproof with great traction
  • Choose from women's whole sizes 6-11 (open the menus to see the sizes currently available)
  • If you wear a half size, we recommend ordering the next whole size up

Pattern has dull markings on the yellow field. G.S. noted this and sent recall/refund letter without prompting. Very good customer service! I will opt to keep the boots as they fit well and I need a nice boot to wear in the rain AND they play to my inner farm girl. Would recommend as long as pattern fixed.

Gave these to my college age daughter for her long wet walks to and from classes in the Pacific Northwest.

There so adorable!! I was worried as I waited FOREVER to get these (12/12-2/17) because some people kept saying there tight in the calves...They fit wonderfully and I have some beefy legs! They measure 15.5 circumference. Thought I would add that so you guys can figure out if they will fit you! JUST LOVE THEM!! It was worth being patient, I need to learn that anyway;0)

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

I'm a new chicken "mama" who just flipped when I saw these chicken boots! Love at first sight! But when they arrived, I couldn't get them on b/c the calf is way too tight. I should have returned them but I loved them so much, I cut the inside calves about 3-4" so I could wear them. Over time I'm sure they'll rip further so I won't get the max wear out of them. I'm wondering if this is a problem inherent in Wellies. ???

I purchased these boots for my mother for Christmas. She thought they were so cute with the chickens and would be great for working in the garden and for general rainy day wear.
I should have consulted the reviews because as many have said the calf was so tight she couldn't get them on. We are returning them.

My son and daughter-in-law are a little off-beat in their life-style. They raise show dogs and have many other animals as well, among them chickens and ducks. D-i-l, especially has a fondness for anything with ducks on it so these were a perfect match. They work with her interest and with their outdoor lifestyle.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

the reviewers who discussed the issue with the calf being somewhat narrow were correct - these are not easy to get on and a zipper or elastic would help.I can use them with pants with full legs by pulling the leg up around my knees, but with tapered or narrow pants, I cannot get the boots on at all - and my calves are not large.I think the circumference of the top would be helpful in your description of the item.That said, however, once on, they have been very comfortable for long walks with the dog in the rain.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

These boots are truly eye catchers that provoke the "AHHHHH...where did you get those" remarks. However, the upper edge in the calf area is way too small for the average leg. I had to cut a slit in the edge behind the buckle to be able to wear these. They are a gift from my best girl friend and there is NO way I would return or reject them. I love them but found the tight fit most unpleasant in such a high quality boot. Hopefully your vendor can make some size changes.

I use these boots to work in the yard/garden. I have chickens and loved the design. I love the boots, and they work well for what I need them for. My only complaint is that the top needs to be wider. Have the buckle, but need the insert so that you could adjust the size. Harder to put on with the thicker pants I wear now that the weather is getting colder.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

We live on a property that gets really swampy in spots after days of rain. I was looking for footwear that would keep my feet/legs dry in the muddiest conditions (so I wouldn't have to borrow my husband's boots!) I saw these online and thought they were adorable - I have chickens and love this print! I have to rate them 4 stars simply because of the fit. They are nice and snug, but as another reviewer stated, it is difficult to tuck pant legs in properly. But I do agree with the reviewer that said it's nice to not have one's legs getting beat about because of floppy, oversized calves. These boots are sturdy and are fun to wear to the chicken coop and around the yard - they make rainy days just a bit brighter!

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

Bought these as a gift for a gardening friend with a new puppy. She loves them on those rainy mornings when walking the puppy and for working in the garden. She collects roosters and chicken items so these boots are perfect! Thank you Gardener's Supply Company for helping me find the perfect birthday gift. These are cute, practical and the gift that keeps on giving.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

I am absolutely delighted with these boots. First of all, the fit is perfect--roomy enough for a thicker bootsock, but also wearable with a light summer sock. I live on a working farm (chickens, dairy goats, horses and gardening) and these boots are so cheerful for me as I muck out stalls and attend to all of the other chores. I particularly like the feature of the boot having an adjustment for tightening around the top of the calf. Very useful when moving bales of hay--nearly eliminates any hay chaff from entering the boot. I wish I could comment on durability, but the chicken boots are still a fairly recent purchase as my previous muck boots cracked and began leaking. The boots do, however, appear to be very well made. I highly recommend these fun but functional boots.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

The reviews were true that the boots are too tight, but I still wanted my husband to get them for me for my birthday. I love them. I plan on using them as a vase for long stemmed sun flowers in the kitchen and the back porch.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

I bought these in the sunflower pattern last year,and really like them. We have a lot of ivy that I need to "wade" through in order to wash windows and now no more spider bites. (If we had snakes they'd work too....) Hubby's spraying isn't often enough to suit me,
thus the boots.
I do wear them with socks,however.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

These wellies fit well and look great! The chickens are a plus. I like the way the boot is constructed near the top - narrow enough to keep water out most times, but wide enough to allow free movement. The boots are very comfy. I have hosed out the insides and insoles routinely after muddy jobs. They dry fine with upside-down hanging plus a day in the sun. So far, so good!

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

I love these boots! Very comfortable. A little difficult to tuck pants into because of the tight fit around the calf.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

The very thing that was off-putting to the other reviewer was a real selling point for me: reasonably narrow calves. Most rubber boots are so big in the calves that my legs rattle around and rub uncomfortably even with pants tucked in. These are high quality boots and cute, too.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

I had my doubts about purchasing these wellies after reading the one review stating they were too tight around the calf. I wanted to purchase them as a gift for my sister who has a new chicken coop with chickens. (the chicken motif on the wellies is adorable) My sister and I wear the same size and I found the boots fit just great! And I don't have chicken legs!! Can't wait to give them to my sister.

These are decorative boots that make it a joy to wear while working in a damp garden. Brings a smile just putting them on. Others can't help smiling as well.

Comments about Gardener's Wellies:

I was so looking forward to trying these out in the garden, so I was very disappointed with how these wellies fit. The tops of them are so tight on my calves that I can't wear them. I wouldn't recommend these chicken wellies to anyone unless they have chicken legs.
