Find me some short wellies, please!

[Ladypuggerz]

I'm looking for some short wellie boots but think I'm a lost cause.
I'm looking for:
-a short, ankle boot because I have huge calves
-at least a size 9 and accommodating of a wide foot (though I seem to manage the notoriously narrow Converse trainers!)
-a jazzy colour or print

I've just tried some beautiful size 9, shiny red, short Hunters and whilst I think the shoe itself would have fit, I could not get my foot all the way in through the opening to find out.

That or any recommendations for a decent, weatherproof but fashionable shoe to wear on walks this autumn / winter?

Thanks!

Jules?

Do you realise that you're describing Joules wellies?! 😁

I was combing on to say Joules too but to warn that they are all in jaunty prints - but then reread that you want that lots in size 9 as I was just looking at them for my sister

[VanGoghsDog]

Yep, Joules. Or just search the term "welliebob".

[Ladypuggerz]

Amazing! I honestly thought Joules only went up to a size 8! The size 9 life gets a bit much sometimes!

I will give them a go! Thanks so much for your replies.

Any more recommendations welcome!

Loads on amazon, although a few normal ones snuck in www.amazon.co.uk/s?ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-ap-p_1_6&crid=X7QKQDLX6TXV&sprefix=Short%20%2Caps%2C205&k=short%20wellies&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

@Ladypuggerz - JOULESGIN will get you 20% off if that helps at all

Ilse Jacobsen make Chelsea boot wellies that are nice, but I've not hoisted in their availability in size 9, although as many Scandianian folk are tall, it may be within the range.

Short Hunters would be perfect.

[AriettyHomily]

I've got lace up hunters, think they're men's officially

[ThomasHardyPerennial]

I'm really pleased with my Rockfish wellies, they don't do prints but they have lasted well.

[SisyphusAndTheRockOfUntidiness]

Mountain Warehouse? Although I'm not sure what size they go up to... I'm only a 3!

I may investigate Joules next time though.

I was tempted by the joules ones... but would you be happy to go around with the word "WELLIBOB" jauntily emblazoned on your heels? sorry not helpful

[Livingthecovidaloca]

I’m covering some of the Iles Jacobsen wellies.

[Livingthecovidaloca]

Coveting!

I have these Aigle ones:

I've got Joules ones and I'd never even noticed that, so it hasn't affected me at all. I need to check tomorrow if they do have that!

To be fair, I don't wear them much, I keep them in the car 'just in case'.

[Defiantly41]

Didriksen or FitFlop, both do nice looking short wellies in a range of colours

[Ifonlyiweretaller]

Fat calves and wide feet here too. I can recommend Jileon wellies - they do all sorts. I have the ankle ones and love them!

[mylittlesandwich]

I have a pair I love. Got them reduced in a garden centre and I can't remember the brand. I'll check in the morning.

Perfectly happy

Most of my footwear is emblazoned with something or other...hence the desire for a colourful wellie!

Thanks all! Some brands I hadn't considered or heard of, so I'm sure I'll find something now! Joules and Jileon in particular look promising!

Arctic weekend Muck Boots are fantastic, and they come in size 9. They are expensive but last for years and years, and as thry are neoprene they are so much more comfortable than normal wellies, I can walk miles in mine.

[Ladypuggerz]

Thanks again for the recommendations and thanks @Chocolateteabag for the 20% off code!

I am now the proud owner of two pairs of jaunty Joules Wellibobs; a surprisingly perfect fit!
