Wellington Boots

A British icon inspired by the Duke of Wellington

Wellington Boots, often called "Wellies" in the UK, are waterproof rubber boots that reach up to the knee. They are named after Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, who popularized them in the 19th century. Originally made of leather, they are now primarily made from rubber or PVC, offering excellent protection from water and mud.
