Waterproof Boots for Women

• Ankle boots (Quebec Ankle, Chicago, Ottawa Storm) — excellent for everyday wear, dog walking, light country walks and days that mix town and country. The Chicago has a smart Chelsea-boot silhouette; the Quebec Ankle a more classic country look. Note: the Ottawa Storm is not recommended for high instep.
• Mid-calf (Quebec pull-on, Vancouver Storm, Hudson Storm, Dakota, Rocky) — the workhorse of the range. Mid-calf boots offer more protection for fields and rough paths while remaining versatile enough for yard work and general wear.
• Long & knee-high (Vermont Storm, Polar Storm) — for riding, coastal walks and conditions where mid-calf just isn't enough. The Vermont Storm is a ladies' waterproof long riding boot in Black and Brown; the Polar Storm laces from ankle to knee for a fully adjustable fit.

Finding a waterproof boot that fits a wider calf can be tricky. Here's where to start:

• Dakota — available in standard and wide calf in Brown and Blue.
• Quebec (pull-on) — wide calf in Black, Brown and Chestnut.
• Quebec Ankle zip & Wool-Lined — wide fit options available.
• Alaska Storm — designed for wider calves specifically. Brown only; check current stock.
• Hudson Storm — the adjustable calf strap makes this a practical solution if standard is too snug but wide is too loose.
• Polar Storm — the full-length lace system adjusts all the way up, accommodating a very wide range of calf widths.

The Vermont Storm is Bareback's ladies' waterproof long riding boot, available in Black and Brown. It's a full-length boot with a waterproof membrane throughout — a genuine option for riding in wet conditions, country walks, or any activity where you want full-leg coverage. Unlike rubber wellingtons, the Vermont Storm is a leather boot with a structured shape, making it more suitable for riding and smarter countryside occasions.

If you want a shorter waterproof option for riding, the jodhpur-style Kentucky Storm, Idaho Storm and Blair Storm are also included in this collection.

Not all waterproof boots look the same. Here's how the range divides between utility and style:

• More rugged: Dakota, Quebec pull-on, Rocky, Alaska Storm — built for fields, yard work and serious walking. Practical rather than decorative.
• Mid-ground: Vancouver Storm, Hudson Storm, Ottawa Storm — a cleaner look that works across both country and casual settings.
• Smarter: Chicago (Chelsea-style waterproof), Kentucky Storm (polished leather jodhpur in six colourways) — waterproof boots that hold their own in smarter country settings, country pubs and casual smart occasions.

Jodhpur boots are a short waterproof option popular for riding, yard work and country wear. All four below are confirmed waterproof and have adjustable calf straps.

Yes. Most boots in the range are unisex and run in sizing that covers UK women's sizes. The Vermont Storm is specifically a ladies' boot. All others — including the Quebec, Dakota, Hudson Storm and Vancouver Storm — are available in sizing appropriate for women. If you're unsure about sizing for a particular model, contact us and we'll help.

The Dakota (Brown and Blue) and Alaska Storm (Brown) are the dedicated wide-calf specialists. The Quebec pull-on range also comes in wide fit across Black, Brown and Chestnut. The Hudson Storm's adjustable strap is useful if you sit between standard and wide; the Polar Storm's full lace-up accommodates virtually any calf width.

The Chicago has the slimmest, most streamlined silhouette — a Chelsea-style waterproof boot available in Blue and Brown. The Vancouver Storm also has a clean, unfussy profile in standard calf. If you want a short jodhpur-style boot, the Kentucky Storm in a polished leather colourway is the smartest option in the range.

Yes. Several boots in the collection are suitable for riding. The Vermont Storm is Bareback's full-length waterproof riding boot. The Kentucky Storm, Idaho Storm, Chatsworth Storm and Blair Storm are all waterproof jodhpur boots designed for riding use. For regular riding in wet conditions, the jodhpur boots and Vermont Storm are the purpose-built options; the country boot styles (Quebec, Dakota, Hudson Storm) can be worn around the yard but aren't designed specifically for the saddle.

The range covers Black, Brown, Chocolate, Chestnut, Mocha, Copper, Blue, Navy, Forest and Grey. If you're looking for a blue waterproof boot, the Dakota Blue, Chicago Blue, Chatsworth Storm Blue, Blair Storm Blue and Polar Storm Navy are all options. For black, the Quebec range, Vancouver Storm, Idaho Storm and Kentucky Storm Polished Black are available.

For country and ankle boots, the toe box should be comfortable with a little room to move — snug but not tight. Heel movement should be minimal. For mid-calf and long boots, the shaft should hold the calf without pinching; if it feels tight around the calf in standard fit, try a wide-fit version or the Hudson Storm with its adjustable strap. Waterproof boots don't stretch as much as standard leather boots, so if you're between sizes, size up.
