Bobbi Ankle Rain Boot (Gumboot)

I needed a stylish wet weather friendly boot that is also comfy (arch support) and these boots have met my needs 100%. Easy to slip on and comfortable all day. They look good enough for work, I can see I’ll be wearing them most days this winter in Hobart. I think they might have given slightly since I started wearing them, which is grand as they were a neat fit out of the box. I love them and have had comments about how lovely they look.

I recently purchased these just to have but last minute threw them into my suitcase for an extended holiday through Egypt, Jordan and Türkiye. Thank goodness I did. The best shoes for hiking, climbing and walking in rain, hail and shine. They were a life saver. I was pleased I had worn them already a couple of times at home as they can seem a little stiff (around the ankles only) and heavy the first couple of wears but they are so comfortable, supportive and hardwearing. Not to mention the colour is gorgeous yet very neutral in a weird kind of way and went with everything. Whether it was 37 degrees in Egypt or zero and wet in Türkiye, they were a dream to wear each day. Would definitely recommend.

I have had a pair of Bobbie boots for three years. I live on a farm in Wisconsin so I slip them on when I head outdoors. I primarily wear them for gardening in our yard because the arch support is superior for not rolling my ankles on our hillside gardens. I did not keep them clean because life on a farm is not clean. I typically wear a size 10 in boots but that was way too sloppy for me. So was a nine. I ended up with a size 8 without the insoles.
