Andie Ankle Rain Boot

I have loved Merry People for years and will continue to do so with Bobbi and Tully boots, however, Andie missed the mark in a very painful way. I have had them for over a year now, and no matter how much I wear them, they rub the skin off the back of my leg every time I wear them. If I wear really thick, long socks, which makes the boots feel tight on the arch of my foot, then the skin remains intact, but I have large, tender indentations and bruising in the same spot. I can never wear these boots for more than one day, as I need healing time in between, and I can't wear them on a day when I am active, as walking becomes too painful by late afternoon. The saddest part for me is that I ADORE the colour, and it is not available in the other boot styles. My Tully boots don't hurt at all as they have the flexible neoprene at the back of the boot, but they have a very chunky sole, making them heavy to wear. If Merry People made a pair of boots in this ginger colour, with the Andie sole and the Tully shape and style, I would be forever grateful. I adore my Bobbi's (4 colours now) and wear them every day in Autumn and Winter, but when you want to dress it up a bit, I thought the Andie was my answer, but it really let me down, quite painfully.

Please, Merry People, make the Tully boot in this Ginger colour, even if you leave the huge sole. It is understated and classic as a colour, but not boring. The colour and sole get 5 stars, the pain gets 0. From a hopeful and faithful…

I ordered a pair of these for my daughter as a Christmas gift.

My daughter tried them on and found them unwearable.

The top cuff around the right boot is 2cm smaller than the left boot making them uncomfortable to wear.

I requested a replacement pair and was sent another pair with the same defect. I have now requested my money back. Disappointed

Well, I’m not surprised that Merry People have so many 5 star reviews. I’m a farmers daughter and have spent most of my life in wellies. These boots are the most comfortable and stylish boots I’ve had. The anti slip on the bottom is fab and the cushioning inside is blissful. I’ve always had Le Chameau wellies but will only be buying Merry People from now on. Can’t wait to buy a full sized pair.

Fab colours - I am thrilled beyond words! Thank you! 🙏

These boots are very comfortable BUT.. it took time for my legs to get used to having the rubber edge rub against it. (That’s why I give them 4 stars rather than 5 stars).

I wore long socks that went beyond the boots to give my legs a bit of coverage, but it was quite sore for the first few weeks of wearing them (and I had a big red line on each leg that took weeks to go away). I’m not sure if the edge of the boots have stretched or if my legs just got used to it, but it feels fine now.

In terms of the footbed, I find that very comfortable. I ordered my usual size and it was a perfect fit.

I mostly wear mine for gardening or running errands with the kids on rainy days. I love the colour combo, too!
