Fur & Wool Lined Boots

Five of the six styles here are fully waterproof, using Bareback's STORMPROOF Wil-Tex™ membrane alongside the wool or shearling lining, so you get warmth and dry feet at the same time: Alaska Storm, Polar Storm, Quebec Wool Lined, Ottawa Storm and Rocky Winter are all confirmed waterproof.

The Nebraska Wool-Lined Long Riding Boot is the exception - it's built for warmth in the saddle with full leg and footbed sheep wool insulation, but it isn't a waterproof boot, so it's best kept for dry, cold days rather than wet ones.

If you've struggled to get boots over your calf before, start with the Quebec Wool Lined, cut with a roomy Wide Fit and a full-length zip for higher insteps and wider feet. The Alaska Storm also comes in a Wide Fit option alongside its Standard fit, so you can choose whichever suits your leg shape.

For a fit you can adjust yourself rather than pick a size for, the Polar Storm uses a full-leg lace system, so you can loosen or tighten the calf as needed.

For proper wet-weather use, stick to the waterproof styles: Alaska Storm and Polar Storm are both mid-calf and fully waterproof with sheep-wool lining, while Ottawa Storm and Rocky Winter are shorter, waterproof options for quick trips outside.

The Quebec Wool Lined is worth a look too if you want a full-length zip rather than a pull-on or lace-up shape.

• Alaska Storm - top-to-toe sheep-wool lining from top to footbed.
• Polar Storm - sheep wool lining in the leg and footbed, plus a removable natural sheepskin insole.
• Quebec Wool Lined - shearling lining up the leg with a plush wool thermal insole.
• Ottawa Storm - sheep wool lining through the footbed and ankle, with a removable sheep wool insole.
• Rocky Winter - fleece-lined collar with a fully wool-lined foot and removable sheep wool footbed.
• Nebraska Wool-Lined - full leg and footbed sheep wool insulation, built for long days riding.

A wool or shearling lining takes up a little more room than a plain leather boot, so it's worth checking the fit notes on each product page rather than assuming your usual size. The Nebraska Wool-Lined runs slightly large, while Alaska Storm and Polar Storm are true to size.

If you're between calf widths, the Polar Storm's full-leg lace system or the Wide Fit option on the Quebec and Alaska give you the most room to adjust. A thin pair of socks is usually enough with these linings - going too thick can make a snug boot feel tight.

No. The Alaska Storm, Polar Storm, Quebec Wool Lined, Ottawa Storm and Rocky Winter are all confirmed waterproof with Bareback's STORMPROOF Wil-Tex™ membrane. The Nebraska Wool-Lined Long Riding Boot is warm but not waterproof, so it's better suited to dry, cold days.

The Quebec Wool Lined and Alaska Storm both come in a Wide Fit, and the Polar Storm's full-leg lace system adjusts to fit a wider calf too.

Both are mid-calf, waterproof and lined with genuine sheep wool. The Alaska Storm is a pull-on country boot with a rear pull loop, while the Polar Storm uses a full-leg lace system for an adjustable fit and adds a removable natural sheepskin insole.

They should feel snug but not tight, with enough room for a normal sock. Check each product's fit note before ordering - some styles run slightly large, others true to size - and consider a Wide Fit or lace-adjustable style if you're unsure of your calf width.

Yes - the Ottawa Storm and Rocky Winter are short, wool-lined and waterproof, which makes them a comfortable, warm choice for dog walks and everyday country walks. For longer days outdoors, the mid-calf Alaska Storm or Polar Storm give more coverage.

Both are short, waterproof and wool-lined. The Ottawa Storm has a padded full ankle and waxed calf skin leather with a higher price point, while the Rocky Winter is a lighter, more budget-friendly option with a fleece-lined collar and removable sheep wool footbed.

Let boots dry naturally away from direct heat after wet use, and avoid tumble drying. Removable insoles (Ottawa Storm, Rocky Winter, Polar Storm) can be taken out to air between wears, which helps the wool stay fresh for longer.
