Are your women's gumboots 100% waterproof?

Yes, every pair of women's gumboots at Wellies Online is 100% waterproof. Our boots are constructed from natural rubber, neoprene, or PVC-free materials with sealed seams. Brands like Bogs, Stormur, and Muck Boots each use different waterproofing technologies, but the result is the same — completely dry feet in any weather.

What heights do your women's gumboots come in?

We stock four height options: ankle boots (around 15–18cm), mid-calf boots (23–28cm), tall knee-high boots (33–40cm), and slip-on clogs. Ankle boots are great for quick trips outside or everyday wear, mid-calf suits gardening and dog walking, and tall boots provide maximum protection for farm work, festivals, and heavy rain.

Do you have wide-calf options for women?

Yes, we carry wide-calf gumboots from Bogs with a generous calf circumference and four-way stretch inner bootie that adapts to your leg shape. These provide the same waterproof performance and insulation as standard fit boots, just with more room where you need it.

How do I choose the right size gumboot?

We recommend ordering your regular Australian shoe size. Most of our gumboots have a size chart on the product page showing insole measurements in centimetres so you can compare to a shoe you already own. If you plan to wear thick socks, consider going up half a size. Our returns policy makes it easy to exchange if the fit isn't right.

Are fleece-lined gumboots too warm for Australian summers?

Fleece-lined boots like the Stormur Original Fleeced range are ideal for autumn and winter. For warmer months, choose cotton-lined options from Hatley or unlined rubber boots from Bogs, which include Max-Wick moisture management to keep feet cool and dry.

How should gumboots fit?

Gumboots should feel comfortable with enough room for your toes to move, but not so loose that your heel lifts too much when walking. You may want a little extra room if you plan to wear thick socks.

Should I size up in gumboots?

It depends on the brand and style. Many customers size up if they are between sizes, have wider feet, or want to wear thick socks. If the gumboots already have a warm lining, you may not need to size up.

Are gumboots meant to be loose?

Gumboots often fit a little looser than regular shoes, especially around the ankle and calf. This makes them easier to pull on and off. However, they should not be so loose that they rub badly or feel unstable when walking.

Do you sell wide calf gumboots?

Some gumboot styles are more generous around the calf than others. Shorter ankle gumboots, mid-height styles and adjustable designs may be better for wider calves. Check the product description and measurements where available.
