Pull-on or Zip? Choosing Your Quebec Style

The Quebec range gives you the choice of how you get the boot on and off — and both entry styles are waterproof.

The pull-on versions (ankle and mid-calf) are the quickest — no zip to fasten, just pull them on and go. Ideal if you're stepping out to the yard multiple times a day and don't want to fuss. The wider opening also makes them easier to get on with thick socks.

The zip versions (ankle and mid-calf) close more snugly at the calf, which suits narrower calves better and gives a slightly more secure fit for more active yard tasks. Both zip styles come in Standard and Wide Fit. The zip mid-calf in particular is a good option if you want the coverage of the full-length pull-on but prefer a tighter close.

The pull-on mid-calf is also the only Quebec available with a wool lining (the Quebec Wool-Lined), so if warmth is a priority, the pull-on is your starting point.

Choosing Your Height: Ankle, Mid-Calf or Knee?

Short (Ottawa Storm): the quickest and most compact option in the range. Good for a fast trip out to the yard in damp conditions, but not suitable if you have a high instep.

Ankle (Quebec Ankle pull-on or zip): more coverage than the Ottawa Storm, still fast to get on. Good if you're working in wet ground but don't need mid-calf height.

Mid-calf (Quebec pull-on or zip mid-calf, Vancouver Storm, Rocky, Dakota): the most versatile height for a typical yard — covers the lower leg in mud and standing water without being cumbersome. Most come in Standard and Wide Fit.

Knee height (Vermont Storm, Black): for particularly wet or muddy conditions, or if you're working in areas where water could come over a shorter boot. The Vermont Storm is the tallest boot in this collection.

Wide Calf Waterproof Yard Boots

Two ranges offer wide calf fit in this collection:

The Quebec range covers the most options for wide calves — all pull-on and zip versions (ankle and mid-calf) are available in Standard and Wide Fit. The Quebec Wool-Lined is also offered in Wide. This makes the Quebec the most flexible range if you have a wider calf and want to choose your preferred height and entry style.

The Dakota (Brown and Blue) is the widest-calf option in the collection — a mid-calf boot available in both Standard and Wide Fit. If the Quebec Wide isn't accommodating enough, the Dakota is the natural next step.

Cold Weather Yard Boots: Staying Warm and Dry

Two boots in the range add warmth to their waterproofing:

The Quebec Wool-Lined is the mid-calf pull-on Quebec with a wool lining for extra insulation — a practical choice for cold yard mornings when you need something on quickly and want your feet to stay warm through standing water. Available in Wide Fit.

The Rocky Winter (Mocha) is the Rocky with a warm lining — a lighter build than the Quebec but with added insulation for colder days. Slightly more streamlined than the Quebec, which some people prefer for active yard work.

For the coldest conditions, a thermal wool sock under either boot adds extra warmth without affecting waterproofing.

Waterproof Jodhpur Boots for Yard and Paddock

If your yard work takes you from the ground to the saddle, the waterproof jodhpur boots in this collection are designed to do both. All three have an adjustable strap and a slimmer profile that fits cleanly into stirrups:

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all the boots on this page waterproof?

Yes — every boot here has a built-in waterproof membrane, not a surface treatment. This performs consistently from the first wear without needing retreatment. The Ottawa Storm and Chatsworth Storm are both waterproof, though neither is recommended for a high instep.

Which are best for very wide calves?

The Dakota (Brown and Blue) is the most accommodating — it comes in Standard and Wide Fit and is generally the best option for people who've found other country boots too narrow. The Quebec range is also available in Wide Fit across all heights and entry styles. If you're unsure which is wider, the Dakota tends to be the more generous of the two.

What's the difference between the Quebec and the Rocky?

Both are waterproof mid-calf country boots, but they have a different build. The Quebec is a broader, chunkier boot with a wider fit — available in Standard and Wide, and across multiple entry styles (pull-on and zip, ankle and mid-calf). The Rocky is a slightly slimmer, lighter build in Standard Fit, available in Brown and Copper. If you need wide fit or want more entry-style options, the Quebec is the range to explore. If you want something a bit lighter and more streamlined for everyday use, the Rocky is a good choice.

What's the difference between the Vancouver Storm and the Quebec pull-on?

Both are waterproof mid-calf pull-on boots, but they differ in build and fit. The Quebec comes in Standard and Wide Fit, making it the more accommodating option for wider calves. The Vancouver Storm is a Standard Fit boot with a more traditional country boot silhouette. If fit is your main concern and you have a wider calf, start with the Quebec. If you're a Standard Fit and want a classic-looking yard boot, the Vancouver Storm is a solid choice.

Which boots are not suitable for a high instep?

The Ottawa Storm and Chatsworth Storm are both noted in their product descriptions as not recommended for a high instep. All other boots on this page should be fine for higher insteps. The Quebec pull-on mid-calf tends to be one of the more forgiving fits if you're unsure.

Which is best for a quick trip out to the yard in wet weather?

For a fast slip-on that you can pull on in seconds, the Quebec pull-on (mid-calf or ankle) is the easiest option — no zip, no fastening, just on and go. The Ottawa Storm is shorter if you prefer ankle height for a quick run-out and don't have a high instep. Both are fully waterproof and handle wet ground well.
