Pull-on, Zip-up and Jodhpur — Which Type of Ankle Boot?

Waterproof ankle boots come in three main entry styles in this range. The Quebec Ankle is a classic pull-on with no fastenings — quick to put on and take off, in Black and Brown. The Quebec Zip Ankle adds a side zip for easier entry and a higher instep opening, in both Black and Brown. For riding use, the jodhpur-style boots — Idaho Storm, Kentucky Storm, Blair Storm and Chatsworth Storm — have an elasticated ankle panel and adjustable back toggle rather than a zip or pull-on opening. They provide a closer, more riding-appropriate fit.

Idaho Storm vs Kentucky Storm — Which Waterproof Jodhpur Boot?

Both the Idaho Storm and Kentucky Storm are waterproof jodhpur boots with adjustable fit, but they differ in colour range and styling. The Idaho Storm comes in Black, Brown and Navy — a straightforward palette suited to everyday riding and yard use. The Kentucky Storm comes in six colours: Mocha, Forest, Polished Black, Polished Brown, Polished Navy and Grey, with polished finishes offering a smarter look. For a no-fuss waterproof jodhpur boot in classic colours, the Idaho Storm; for more choice or a dressier finish, the Kentucky Storm.

Ladies Waterproof Ankle Boots

The Ottawa Storm is a ladies-specific waterproof ankle boot in Black and Brown with a neat profile and waterproof membrane, though it is not recommended for high instep feet. The Chicago is a more casual ladies ankle boot in Blue and Brown. Both are ladies sizing only. The Quebec Ankle, Quebec Zip Ankle and all jodhpur-style boots are available in both ladies and mens sizing.

Mens Waterproof Ankle Boots

The Denver is a mens waterproof ankle boot in Chestnut with a W-Tex® waterproof membrane, Therma-tex breathable lining, gel-cushioned heel inserts and a Duratread non-slip sole. It has brogue-style detailing and a smart finish. The Malvern is a mens short boot in waxed nubuck with a full waterproof membrane construction and DualGrip outsole, currently available in UK 11 only while stock lasts. The Idaho Storm, Kentucky Storm, Blair Storm, Chatsworth Storm and Quebec Ankle are also available in mens sizing.

Easy-Entry & Adjustable Ankle Boots

The Quebec Zip Ankle (Black and Brown) has a side zip that eases entry and helps with a high instep. The jodhpur-style boots — Idaho Storm, Kentucky Storm, Blair Storm and Chatsworth Storm — have adjustable back toggles that let you fine-tune the fit around the ankle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all these ankle boots waterproof?

Yes — every boot listed in the table above carries a built-in waterproof membrane confirmed in the product description. The range has been drawn from the full waterproof boots collection at Bareback Footwear.

What is the difference between Idaho Storm and Kentucky Storm?

Both are waterproof jodhpur boots with adjustable fit. The Idaho Storm comes in Black, Brown and Navy. The Kentucky Storm comes in six colours including Mocha, Forest, Polished Black, Polished Brown, Polished Navy and Grey. The Kentucky Storm polished colourways offer a smarter finish; the Idaho Storm has a more understated everyday look.

Do you have waterproof ankle boots for men?

Yes — the Denver (Chestnut) is a dedicated mens waterproof ankle boot. The Malvern is also mens-only, currently available in UK 11. The Idaho Storm, Kentucky Storm, Blair Storm, Chatsworth Storm and Quebec Ankle are all available in both ladies and mens sizes.

Which offer a roomier or easier fit?

The Quebec Zip Ankle has a side zip that eases entry and suits a higher instep, in both Black and Brown. The jodhpur-style boots have an adjustable back toggle that provides some flexibility in fit around the ankle.

I have a high instep — which ankle boots should I avoid?

The Ottawa Storm and Chatsworth Storm are both noted in their product descriptions as not suitable for high instep feet. Most other boots in this range, including the Quebec Ankle, Idaho Storm and Kentucky Storm, do not carry this restriction.

Is the Alaska Storm available?

The Alaska Storm Waterproof Boots (Brown, Wide Fit) are currently out of stock, though the product page is still live. For an in-stock ankle boot with easy entry, the Quebec Zip Ankle — whose side zip helps with a high instep — is a good alternative.
