Wellington boots have long been a countryside staple — but Grub’s has taken this traditional form and pushed it into the modern era. With technical fabrics, advanced insulation, and serious grip underfoot, Grub’s footwear offers year-round performance in the wettest, muddiest, and coldest of British conditions.
This is footwear built for the field, but engineered like a piece of outdoor gear.
A British Brand Born for the Outdoors
Founded by the Foster family who also created the legendary Reebok brand, Grub’s was built on generations of expertise in performance footwear. With their roots in British agriculture, hunting, and equestrian life, the Fosters knew the needs of rural living firsthand: comfort, warmth, durability, and grip.
Grub’s combined this country know-how with technical innovation, introducing boots that feel more like performance sports gear than old-fashioned wellies.
What Makes Grub’s Different?
Grub’s boots aren’t just designed to be waterproof - they’re designed to keep you comfortable in all seasons, all day long. Their hallmark features include:
- Insu-Foam Ultra™ neoprene: Flexible, insulating and waterproof, moulds to your leg for a snug fit
- 8.5 to 10.5 Tog rating: Keeping your feet warm even in sub-zero temperatures
- Hexzorb™ technology: Shock-absorbing cushioning in the sole for long walks or standing on hard ground
- Trax™ sole system: Designed for traction on mud, grass, and slick terrain
- Comfort rated to -40°C: Ideal for winter stalks, yard work, or long cold days outdoors
Their boots are also exceptionally easy to slip on and off, thanks to the stretch-fit neoprene shafts, a small detail, but one that makes a big difference on wet days when you're in and out of the house or vehicle.
A Favourite Among Farmers, Dog Walkers & Country Sportsmen
Whether you're mucking out stables, walking the dog across frosty fields, or waiting on a peg in sleet and snow, Grub’s boots are designed to keep you going. They’re widely trusted by farmers, beaters, gamekeepers, and outdoor workers across the UK for one simple reason: they’re made to perform.
Models like the Tayline, Snowline, and Frostline deliver the warmth and grip that standard wellingtons simply can't.
Why We Love Grub’s at New Forest Clothing
They're the top welly, but better. Grub’s boots strike the perfect balance between modern outdoor tech and countryside toughness. Once you’ve worn a pair through a full season of mud and rain, you’ll understand why they’ve earned such a loyal following.
