Originally named “Wellies” from Arthur Wellesley of the 19th century British aristocracy, the first man to ever wear this style of boots, Wellies became a statement for the rich in terms of fashion.

Midway through the 19th century, a man name Hiram Hutchinson bought the patent for natural rubber footwear to help create what would become the rubber rain boots we all know and love today!

Check out this little list that we’ve thrown together of some our personal favorites in rain boots for men, women, and kids.

FAQ

Can rubber be repaired if it is punctured?

Absolutely! Most rubbers can be repaired fairly easily with a sealant found in any local hardware store! The best thing to do is clean the punctured hole with mineral spirits before applying the sealant on like a thin film. Most major sealant companies suggest a 24-hour period to air dry before using the boots again.


Will wearing rubber rain boots protect me from a lightning strike?

There seems to be a common misconception about this old wives’ tale. The rubber in your soles are no match for a high-voltage lightning strike. Luckily, they will keep those socks looking swell.


What kind of rubber are rain boots made from?

Most all rain boots are manufactured from a vulcanized rubber that was invented back in the early 19th century by Charles Goodyear, you know, the tire guy. Luckily, he allowed Leverett Candee, now one of history’s biggest rubber manufacturers, the rights to use his patent to develop the first rubber piece of footwear in 1842.
