Are Hatley gumboots safe for kids?

Yes, Hatley gumboots are always PVC-free, made from handmade vulcanised natural rubber with 100% cotton lining. They feature slip-resistant soles and removable insoles for hygiene. Hatley has been making trusted kids' rainwear since 1986 and all their products meet strict safety standards.

What size gumboots does my daughter need?

Girls' gumboots at Wellies Online come in sizes ranging from AU 4 (toddler) through to AU 3 (big kids). Each product page includes a size chart. We recommend measuring your child's foot length in centimetres and comparing it to the insole measurements listed. Kids' feet grow quickly, so leaving a little room (about 1cm) for growth is a good idea.

Do girls' gumboots come with warm lining for winter?

Yes, we stock sherpa fleece-lined gumboots from Hatley and plush fleece-lined gumboots from Stormur. These are perfect for cold mornings at school drop-off or playing outside in winter. For warmer weather, cotton-lined options keep feet comfortable without overheating.

How do I clean kids' gumboots?

Simply rinse off mud with a hose or wipe down with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove the insole and wash it separately. Natural rubber gumboots should not be machine washed or placed near direct heat. Store boots upright in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape.

Can I buy matching gumboots and raincoats?

Yes! Hatley designs many of their prints as coordinated sets — you can find matching gumboots and raincoats in prints like Prancing Horses, Dino Fossils, Pegasus Constellations, and many more. Look for the 'matching raincoat available' note on the product page, or browse our Girls Raincoats collection.
