Country Boots Waterproof Black

When you need the protection a pair of wellies provides from water, mud, slush, snow and everything else nature can throw at you, but want the comfort and versatility of a walking boot, our WVSport Country Boots are the answer.

Tested and certified waterproof all the way to the top, you can wade through streams, trudge through snow, squish through muddy fields and generally have lots of fun wearing these with dry feet all day.

The fit like all our WVSport models is slightly wider with a rounded toe box with little more height, giving you room to move your toes and to allow if your feet swell when you get hot or a thick sock on the colder days.

The rubber injection outsoles have been designed with areas for grip, traction, braking and stability. They have an open tread, when it is super muddy they will not clog up and will be easy to hose or scrape down at the end of a long walk.

You can put these boots through their paces and depend on them for reliability with outsoles that have been ballistic welded onto the uppers, so they will not part easily. The uppers that have been created with abrasion and scuff resistant Lyliane 3DMX and Cordura materials.

Where these boots really come into their own is their all day comfort. The boots sit snugly but comfortably on your lower calf, thanks to the soft stretchy knitted back panel that does not dig in or rub. The outsoles are not heavy and have a nice flex, so are quite different to a traditional pair of wellie boots, they are more like wearing a pair of sturdy trainers so can be worn for long distances. Your feet walk on removable cushioned anatomic insoles and your ankles are supported by the patented Support System.

WVSport models are designed and produced in the foothills of the Dolomite Hills, Italy.

Each model is created using CAD design technology that simulates the different phases of the walking experience.

Advanced components and construction methods are used to create the models like the use of Vibram soles and a patented Support System which means the fit is always comfortable and secure.

Development samples are lab tested for days for their abrasion resistance, durability and water resistance. New models can take months sometimes years to develop.

The factory features one of the largest photovoltaic plants in Italy which means that 70% of the power used to produce WVSport footwear is from solar.

As well as working under EU employment, discrimination and health & safety law the factory has their own Charter of Human Responsibilities (or Code of Ethics) which helps ensure the company is committed to respecting the rights, work and dignity of its employees.

For sourcing the materials to create each model we work with the factory using a traceability system that enables us to trace back every step in the production process so we always know what has been used and where it has come from.

Will's Vegan Store launched in 2012 as a vegan shoe company. Since then, they've moved into fashion and other products as well.

The brand continuously reflects on it's operations to see where they can do better. 

Eco-friendly: The majority of items are made from vegan leather alternatives. Some are still plastic-based (PU/PE), but since 2017 they've introduced more biobased and recycled materials into their vegan leather. They have created a sneaker that's fully biodegradable and are certified carbon neutral.

Extra cool is that they have a take back scheme, where you can send back your old shoes to be recycled into outsoles for new Will Vegan's Shoes.

Vegan: As the name suggest, Will's is a completely vegan brand. It's PETA-approved.

Fair & local production: Will's Vegan produces in factories in Portugal and Italy, of which some are part of the Fair Wear Foundation.
