When the rain comes and the mud starts churning up, you’ll need the best shooting wellies you can find. Sturdy, waterproof footwear will stop you slipping on wet ground and keep you dry as you cross streams, ploughed fields and marshland.
Shooting boots are great for dry days on the peg, but when the heavens open or you’re shooting over wet ground, wellies are a must. Here are five of the best shooting wellies to suit all budgets.
The Field Sport Wellington from Hoggs of Fife is a hardwearing, insulated boot with a 4mm neoprene lining and a Vibram outsole.
The design has evolved over the years with the latest technology for comfort and performance. The boot features a high-density, durable neoprene lining for warmth and a removable cushioned EVA insole with memory foam for excellent shock absorption.
Comfortable and durable, the Field Sport’s high-performance outsole also provides outstanding abrasion resistance.

The Pheasant Game wellies feature a full-length sealed zip and spacious wide-opening bellows for waterproof protection. The design prevents socks and trousers from snagging on the zip for easy, one-handed entry.
A 5mm neoprene Coil Lining and vulcanised rubber combine for comfort. The rubber Mud-Field outsole and shock-absorbent reinforced footbed provide solid support and grip. The Lynx Ice-Grip ensures traction even in temperatures down to -45°C.

Combining robust construction with modern design, the Hillside Enforced Boot offers insulation and comfort with a personalised neoprene lining.
