Wandering in Warm Wellies – introducing our first guest blogger
Great to hear our Warm Wellies work in in the North of Scotland
Fee is our guest blogger this month - from ‘One of Each’. Her tots have road tested our boots and gave them a big thumbs up. Read her story here …..
Fee begins with a famous quote from Wainwright ‘No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes’
“We have arrived at the final post of my “Head to Toes guide to keeping the family warm outdoors” series which means we are focusing on the all-important feet. They take us everywhere we need to go so we really need to make sure they are well looked after, supported and warm.
Today I’m going to share some of our favourite brands that we wear when out exploring bonnie but often brisk Scotland.
Living in Scotland, scrap that, living anywhere in the UK, everyone I firmly believe needs a good pair of wellies. Up until a few months ago the kids just wore your standard supermarket character wellies however Aiden started forest school so wears wellies every single day now and I couldn’t bare the thought of him having cold feet all the time he was outside.
Initially I just put extra socks on him, but this isn’t great for the feet as they get really sweaty. Then another forest school Mum suggested Warm Wellies from The Warm Welly Company, so we got Aiden and Faye a pair.
I am a complete convert and will not put the kids in cheap wellies for any length of time ever again.
Warm Wellies use a neoprene technology that means unlike most wellies available on the high street, these are actually designed to keep your feet warm too as they retain heat.
You can tell straight away that the materials used are much tougher and thicker (4mm to be precise) than normal and I asked Aiden if he noticed any difference to which he replied “yes, my toes weren’t cold today!”
Well that is good enough for me and I can’t wait to get myself an adult sized pair to match Faye’s beautiful purple pair.

Would you like to write us a story about how you wear your wellies? We’re always keen to share wanderings in warm wellies.
