Wellies. The boots for dry feet
Wellies and wellington boots offer up to 100% protection from water for your feet. Most wellingtons
provide a quick, easy and convenient way to work in wet and muddy conditions, giving a level of comfort
and safety not normally found in a work boot
Wellingtons, whilst the ideal option for working in wet weather and muddy conditions, are ideal footwear
for many domestic and leisure uses. Just some of the uses for the wellington boot are horse riding,
gardening, dog walking and outdoor pursuits
Wellington boots at work
The welly gives workers the safety and security of prolonged protection against water and damp
conditions. Additional protection and safety within hazardous environments can also be added to the
wellington's main function of providing long lasting and continued protection in wet weather, wet
working environments and in hazardous or sensitive working conditions
Wellington boots and safety standards in the workplace
Wellington boots can be purchased in many styles, colours and types, both safety wellingtons
and non-safety wellingtons. Non safety wellington boots are wellingtons that have no additional
protection, other than that offered by their water resistant purpose. Safety wellingtons, on the other
hand, have certain options, properties and characteristics that give the user specific protection,
based on their needs, specified by satandards for the requirements of the user for wellingtons in
environments where the safety of the user is paramount.

Wellingtons, wellies, gumboots and galoshes
There are many different names for wellingtons, such as wellies, gumboots, galoshes, top boots and wellybobs.
All these names are used exrtensively to identify the wellington boot, but there are other types of boots,
similar to wellingtons, that do the same job but with a more specific or individual style or application.
Waders are one such derivation of the wellington. Designed specifically for accessing deep water
environments, such as rivers and streams, waders give the same protection against water that the wellington
boot offers but with protection further up the leg.
Wellingtons also come in styles related to construction and industry, such as the rigger boot, which gives
complete water protection of the wellington but combined with the safety elements of the rigger boot.
