Wellies

Wellies from Tretorn – waterproof boots for women, men and kids

Rain, wet grass, mud and puddles call for footwear that can handle more than everyday shoes. At Tretorn, you’ll find wellies for women, men and kids — from classic rain boots and easy short styles to tall wellies, lined boots, clogs and Chelsea-inspired boots.

Choose your boots based on how you plan to use them. For everyday wear, commuting and quick errands, a short or mid-height style is often easy to slip on and off. For the garden, woodland walks, wet grass and longer time outdoors, a taller boot gives better coverage around the leg. When the weather is both cold and wet, lined wellies can add warmth while still protecting against wet ground.

Tretorn has been making wellies since 1891 and has long experience in developing boots for rainy and changing weather. The collection includes styles for everything from everyday use to more demanding days outdoors.

How to choose the right wellies

Start by thinking about where you will wear them. If you need something easy for town, work or dog walks, short wellies or Chelsea boots can be a good choice. If you’ll be walking through mud, long grass or woodland paths, tall wellies are usually more practical.

Also consider the sole, shaft height and lining. A more structured outsole gives better grip on soft and wet ground. A taller shaft protects more of the leg from water and mud. Lining is useful when you want to wear your boots on colder days, in slush or for longer time outdoors.

Frequently asked questions about wellies

What is the difference between short and tall wellies?
Short wellies are easier to put on and more flexible for everyday use. Tall wellies protect more of the leg and are better for mud, long grass and longer time outdoors.

When are lined wellies a good choice?
Lined wellies are useful on cold and wet days, such as in autumn rain, slush or early spring, when you want both warmth and waterproof protection.

How should wellies fit?
They should feel stable around the foot without pinching. Leave a little room for thicker socks if you plan to wear them in colder weather, and use the product’s size guide if you are unsure.
