Call it lack of foresight but I inevitably end up buying wellies at the last moment when there is little choice of anything in my size. With children we take out last year's pair and discover, unsurprisingly, they are now too small.
This is where the Welly Shop comes to the rescue. They specialise in fine quality Wellingtons, ankle boots, shoes and clogs from Hunter, Aigle, Le Chameau, The Muck Boot Co., Girlie Gardening, Wedge Welly and Alternature and hold a vast number of all sizes in stock.
The Welly Shop give tips and advice on how to choose your boot giving pertinent information on the difference between various brands. Plus there's a section on how to look after your boots.
We were sent a pair for Harriet whose eyes lit up on seeing pink Hunters – her favourite colour. She couldn't wait to wear them and fortunately the weather obliged.
There are helpful size comparison charts as well as calf sizes. If you order before 2.30pm, your choice of boot is sent by first class post or Parcelforce and should arrive the next day.
