Blue Waterproof Boots

All three boots in this collection use a Wil-Tex® waterproof membrane built into the boot, not just a surface treatment on the leather or suede. On the Dakota and Polar Storm, this runs the full height of the leg for 360° protection, so they're suited to genuinely wet, muddy conditions. The Chicago uses the same membrane technology in an ankle boot, making it a practical choice for rainy commutes and dog walks where you don't need full-leg coverage.

The Dakota Waterproof Country Boots come in both Standard and Extra Wide calf fittings, so if you've struggled with tight-fitting country boots before, this is the pair to try. The Polar Storm is a good alternative if you need extra room, as its full leg lace system lets you adjust the fit around the calf rather than being locked to a fixed width.

• Polar Storm – genuine sheepskin lining and a removable sheepskin insole, our warmest option for cold winter mornings.
• Dakota – breathable Wil-tex® membrane lining with a cushioned, shock-absorbing insole and gel heel insert.
• Chicago – cushioned removable insole with a padded collar for comfort around the ankle.

For the Dakota and Polar Storm, measure your calf at its widest point over the socks or breeches you'll normally wear, then choose Standard or Wide (Dakota) or adjust the lacing (Polar Storm) accordingly. Both are pull-on country boot styles, so allow a little extra room at the ankle for your instep. The Chicago is a standard ankle boot fit with speed-hook lacing, so simply order your usual shoe size.

The Dakota and Polar Storm are built as tall country boots, ideal for the yard, muddy fields and dog walks in poor weather. The Chicago is a lower-cut, more casual boot in soft Italian suede, better suited to town, the school run or wet commutes where you want waterproofing without a full country boot.

Yes. The Dakota, Polar Storm and Chicago all use a Wil-Tex® waterproof membrane rather than just a water-resistant coating, so they're built to keep your feet dry in sustained wet conditions, not just light showers.

The Dakota Waterproof Country Boots, available in Standard and Extra Wide calf fittings. The Polar Storm's adjustable full leg lacing is also a good option if you need flexibility rather than a fixed wide fit.

Both are tall, fully waterproof country boots, but the Dakota is built around a Standard or Wide calf fitting with a classic lace-front look, while the Polar Storm has an adjustable full-leg lace system and genuine sheepskin lining, making it the warmer of the two for cold weather.

Yes, the Chicago is designed as an everyday ankle boot in soft Italian suede, so it suits town wear, commuting and casual outfits just as well as wet-weather days, while still keeping your feet dry thanks to its Wil-Tex® membrane.

Wipe off any mud or dirt once it has dried, and use a proofing spray suited to the upper material (suede or leather) every few weeks during regular wet-weather wear to help maintain water resistance and keep the finish looking its best.

The Dakota Waterproof Country Boots are available in both ladies' and men's fittings. The Polar Storm and Chicago are ladies' fit boots.
