Leather Wellington Boots

Waterproof leather wellington boots offer you the consumer a high quality product that will last for many years and as with all leather footwear wear to fit your foot.  We feel it is now impossible to beat a high quality leather wellington because of modern materials used in the lining that will allow moisture to pass out of the boot but not in. 

Leather boots have been around since time began and offered great protection for feet providing the leather was treated properly using waxes and creams that kept the leather waterproof and flexible. 

Todays leather welly boots are pre treated with modern chemicals that make sure the leather is as waterproof and breathable as possible.  On top of this modern breathable linings make sure that feet stay dry even in the most extreme environments. 

Most of our leather wellies are made in Portugal because of the quality of manufacture.  The boots are handmade using the finest nu-buck leather which ensures that the boots are durable and free from faults. 

As with all leather boots they will need some care after heavy use and in extreme conditions.  We would suggest that the boots should be cleaned thoroughly after use using cold water and then left to dry naturally in a warm but not hot location.  Occasionally the leather should be treated with a good quality leather water proofer for example Dubin or one of the new technical creams or sprays that are available.

The traditional leather wellingtons came in to being during the 18^th century.  The boots were used primarily in European cavalry and typically had quite a pointed toe for riding a horse.  This trait can still be seen in many styles available as the leather welly is often used in the equestrienne circle. 

The Duke of wellington took this further and produced a standard leather boot that was nicknamed the wellington.  Napolian did the same thing for the French troops and this resulted in the short leather boot which we now call the half wellington.  Later on that day during tea the Duke of Wellington went one better and  introduced the beef wellington.  Napoleon was livid at this and so he introduced a simple French number called Chicken corden bleur.  That did it for The Duke of welly so he attacked the French.
