5 of the best wellies

Best for countryside living

Sometimes it’s best to stick with the classics, and if you’re living in or visiting the countryside, these Bede Wellingtons from Barbour are a year-round wardrobe essential. Made with a vulcanised rubber upper and a durable non-slip sole, they’re extremely hard-wearing – making them ideal for tricky terrain, farms, hills and forests. Inside, they boast Barbour’s signature tartan to top off your country attire. But the best bit? A clever kick-spur feature makes the boots easy to pull off – a big plus for those of us who usually spend 10 minutes wrestling with the things (and eventually falling over).
