Hunter Wellingtons: What Makes Them so Popular

Hunter Wellingtons have been the leading manufacturer of wellies since the 1800′s. The company really took off during the 1st world war where they made well over 1 million boots suitable for the trenches and wet conditions. The same demand occurred during the 2nd world war but with a greater increase in other essential war materials.

The first orthopedic wellington that was ever made was the original green wellington in 1955. This is Hunters iconic boot. The materials used to make the boots are always being developed to ensure the wellies are the most comfortable and hard wearing boots on the market.

The Original Hunter collection is a comfortable, hard wearing boot for all occasions at a reasonable price. It is now the favorite amongst all ages, coming in a wide range of colours and styles.

In 1977 Hunter was awarded a Royal Warrant from the HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Shortly followed in 1987 by a Royal Warrant from the HM The Queen for the quality of boots supplied to the Royal family. The wellies kept very important feet dry.

This secured Hunters place on number 1 spot for Wellington boots in the UK and started to get recognised all over the world.

Due to the rise in festivals throughout the summer in the UK, is wouldn’t be long before Hunter festival wellies were released. Celebrities up and down the country were constantly snapped in Hunter Wellingtons, and so popularity grew. Not just because the celebrity was wearing them, but because of the all day comfort Hunters provide, even when you are jumping up and down to your favourite band up to your knees in mud.
