Really wide wellies (to accommodate bunions)

11 replies

My wellies have split, and I need to buy another pair. I have enough difficulties buying shoes due to my bunions (winter footwear is limited to M&S wide fit in their footglove range or ugg sheepskin Bailey buttons) so I am looking for recommendations for super wide wellies. I also wear Joules welly socks to keep my feet warm in wellies, but they aren't very thick.

what were the brand of your old ones?

Try mens wellies.

I bought some Sorel snow boots a few seasons ago that I'm currently using as wellies as I'm pregnant and they are the easiest waterproof boots to slip on and off without bending over. They weren't expensive as I bought them in a size 6 from the children's range. So wide. So comfortable. Highly recommended.

Sleep, I have no idea. I have thrown them out, and they were a present so I don’t have a record of buying them.

Can’t buy men’s as I am a size 4!

Apples, this is a link to the sores children’s footwear www.sorelfootwear.co.uk/kids?pgsize=52. Do you think yours are the pull on youth Whitney mid boot for £70? They look softer than the others as the bit that would do around my bunions isn’t moulded rubber.

I have pair of Joules wellies which don't give my bunions grief Smile

Great Dido! Thanks. How bad are yours? Mine are moderate according to the consultant. I am toying whether to get them operated on.

Jilleon wellies do a variety of width fittings.

I think I bought the Yoot Pac Sorel boots (they seemed more waterproof and I was doing ski in ski out that year) and they're amazing. I'm pretty sure I got a pair in the sale but can't remember where from... sorry!

THank you!
