Women's Gumboots

Stay Comfy & Dry With Women's Gumboots at Anaconda

The weather in Australia is variable to say the least, so make sure you're ready for whatever the seasons throw at you by wearing the best waterproof women's gumboots. Designed to keep your feet dry and protected, gumboots also offer the right kind of slip-resistant grip when it comes to trekking in muddy conditions. At Anaconda, our women's gumboots include features such as cushioned footbeds, fleece linings and moisture-wicking materials for the ultimate wet-weather comfort!

What should I look for when buying women's gumboots?

To ensure that your women's gumboots offer a comfortable fit, check the following points:

• Shoe Size: As a general rule, use your standard shoe size. Gumboots and rain boots should not be too tight, but neither should they feel loose or they can easily slip off when walking through mud.
• Boot length: Measure from the sole up to the highest point of the boot. Shorter boot lengths may be more comfortable in warm conditions.
• Calf Size: Calf size reflects the measurement at the widest point of the calf. Remember to allow for your normal trousers and socks (usually a 2 cm allowance will suffice).
• Sole: Gumboot soles generally offer traction and grip, but If you are working with chemicals, oils or manure, it is important to select a sole that is resistant to these compounds.
• Warmth: Gumboots are designed to keep out the wet, but they often don't keep the cold out very well. If you are planning to wear your boots in cold weather conditions, adding a pair of women's socks (particularly in wool) or special gumboot liners is advised.

Women's Gumboots FAQs

How to wear gumboots?

After ensuring the correct fit, it's important to ensure you're also wearing practical socks with shorter gumboot styles to prevent blisters. For longer gumboot styles it's typical to tuck your trousers into the boot to keep out the wet. Make sure the width of the boot can accommodate your preferred trouser type.

How to clean gumboots?

The best way to keep your gumboots clean and in good repair is to rinse away mud and debris before it has a chance to dry. If mud dries onto your gumboots, remove it using a bristle brush or old toothbrush (especially inside the treads). If the dirt is particularly stubborn, a teaspoon of dish detergent in half a litre of water can get things going. Finally, make sure your gumboots are allowed to air dry naturally, away from heaters or direct sunlight to prevent any damage.

Why are gumboots called gumboots?

Also known as Wellington boots, wellies or rain boots, gumboots are so named after the "gum rubber" they were originally made from.
