Wellington Boots
What are Wellington Boots?
Wellington boots or merely Wellingtons, or “Wellies,” are virtual boots that have long been had on in many parts of the world. They are in general a little shorter than knee-length and have the advantage of keeping the feet dry in wet or muddy conditions. The first Wellingtons were also made of leather, though leather Wellington boots today would be considered much less common. Hutchinson’s company designed Wellingtons for the average working person, and the boots became popular among the French farming population.
Over the years Wellington boots exchanged, and styles with round and roomy toe boxes and comparatively interior and somewhat flexible soles were preferred. As popularity of the boots grew they also collected a number of different names. Americans may call Wellington boots, and they may also be called rubbers, gumboots, and top boots. They may also vary in length. A few are only slightly above the ankle, while others extend to the mid-calf or higher.
