The 10 Best Womens Wellies for Dog Walking
If there's one thing you know about the Holland family, it's that we're absolutely dog mad! Living in the countryside, we're so lucky to have beautiful, wide-open spaces to explore with our dogs every day. Of course, rural life means plenty of muddy fields and unpredictable weather, so a good quality pair of wellies is always ready by the front door.
We know this set-up will sound familiar to plenty of you out there. But maybe your current boots have seen better days, or perhaps you're just after an upgrade. Or, maybe you’re simply curious: is there a perfect pair of wellies that could make your dog walks even better?
And if you know anything else about the Holland family, it’s that we’re here to help you find exactly what you need for your country lifestyle! That’s why we’ve put together this list of top women’s wellies for dog walking – with a men’s guide coming soon.
1. Cotswold Sandringham Buckle Strap Wellingtons
When you’re heading out to explore with your dog in tow, it’s hard to beat the reliability of the Cotswold Sandringham wellies.
One thing I love about these wellington boots is their super grippy sole. There’s no need to worry about slipping when you're crossing wet grass or chasing after enthusiastic pups, as these boots keep you firmly the right way up. They’re also a real treat for anyone who likes a pop of colour in their country walks, with a range of shades from classic green and navy to bold mustard and berry (which means they look great in those rainy day Instagram shots too!).
Plus, with a budget-friendly price, they’re an excellent option if you already have a sturdy pair of farm wellies and want a dedicated pair just for your dog walks.
Key Features:
- Waterproof PVC upper, reinforced for protection
- Cleated sole for traction on wet and muddy surfaces
- Synthetic textile lining for comfort
- Decorative side buckle detail
2. Muck Boots Womens Arctic Sport II Tall Wellingtons
Muck Boots has a fantastic reputation for a reason. We love their wide range of neoprene wellies, and they make dog walking a walk in the park (sorry, we couldn't resist!)
The Arctic Sport II is a real favourite for winter walks in particular, as when the countryside turns crisp and frosty, you'll love having that flexible neoprene upper to help keep your feet toasty.
What makes these boots even more practical is the stretch-fit top-line binding, which helps keep the warmth in and the cold out. And they are easy to slip on and off too, so if you’re trying to dash out for a quick walk with the dogs, you won't be faffing around at the door.
Key Features:
- 5mm neoprene lining
- Stretch-fit top-line
- Micro fleece lining for extra warmth
- EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning
3. Aigle Parcours 2 Wellington Boots
The Aigle Parcours 2 wellies are a bit of a legend when it comes to comfort and durability. Handmade in France, these waterproof boots are all about the details.
They’ve got a specific anti-fatigue design, with cushioned insoles and shock-absorbing heels, that makes it feel like you’re walking on a cloud (even if it's a very muddy cloud). And the brilliant tri-density sole helps keeps your feet comfortable, even if you end up wandering a bit further than planned - I swear the dogs think we’re training for a marathon some days!
These comfy rubber wellies have that classically country style look to them, so they'll pair easily with everything from your favourite dog walking coat to your comfy fleece gilet.
Key Features:
- Natural rubber construction
- Tri-density sole for superior cushioning

- Quick-drying polyester lining
- Handmade in France
4. Gateway1 Woodwalker Lady 17” 4mm Wellingtons
In the countryside, we often go through more snow, ice, and mud than we care to remember. So, a solid pair of wellies is a lifesaver, especially with an excited dog in tow.
These Gateway1 neoprene wellies come with carefully designed all-terrain soles for extra grip on all those tricky terrains you might encounter when you're out and about. If you come across particularly muddy conditions, you won't even need to give your feet a second thought - this pair of boots will keep you steady.
They are a bit more of an investment, but when you're out with the dogs every day, you'll certainly get your money's worth.

5. Muck Boots Womens Arctic Adventure Tall Boots
If your dog could talk, they’d probably tell you that no weather should ever stop a walk. And if you're in the same boat (or should I say field), you’ll love the Muck Boots Arctic Adventure wellies.
There’s nothing quite like stepping into a pair of snug, warm wellies when it’s freezing outside, and that's what you get here thanks to the gorgeous fleece lining, plus that thick neoprene Muck Boots is popular for. We also have to mention the lightweight EVA sole, which is an absolute dream for those longer walks when your dog decides they’d like to sniff everything in sight for a solid mile.
These boots are all about maximum comfort, warmth, and practicality - just what you need when the wind’s howling, the sky’s pouring, and the dog is doing their happy dance by the door.

You'll be getting plenty of compliments on your fantastic style if you go for these Ariat wellies! The leather-trimmed top really sets them apart and makes you feel just a little bit fancy, even if you’re ankle-deep in mud.
Beyond their good looks, these rubber boots also have some brilliant features that make them a favourite among our customers. The unique ATS® Pro technology offers a fantastic level of stability and comfort, so you won’t feel wobbly even on uneven paths or muddy puddles. Plus, the moisture-wicking layer helps keep your feet dry and comfy.
And when it's time to head back inside, the easy-off “heel kick” feature means no awkward balancing acts at the door.
Key Features:

You can also choose the insulated version of the Burford wellies, if you're looking specifically for something for the cold weather.
7. Hunter Womens Balmoral Neoprene Adjustable Wellingtons
Of course, it wouldn't be list of the best womens wellies without a mention of Hunter Wellies.
What’s really impressive about these boots is their grip, as the cleats are specially designed to give you better traction and help release the mud as you walk. So you won’t be slipping and sliding while your dog’s darting after squirrels - music to every dog owner's ears!
Inside, the cushioned footbed is brilliant for all-day comfort, helping to reduce fatigue on longer walks while also providing support that your feet will appreciate. And if you’re someone who likes a perfect fit, the adjustable buckle lets you tweak them to suit.
Key Features:

8. Dunlop Blizzard Wellingtons
With these Dunlop wellies, winter dog walks might just become something to look forward to, even when it’s chilly enough to see your breath.
The padded collar with a drawstring tie is a simple but brilliant feature that keeps the cold air out and the warmth in. Then there's the thick fleece lining that is basically like wearing a blanket within your boots, perfect for the cold countryside air we do battle with.
Of course, it's Dunlop, so they've gone beyond the basics too. These wellies offer serious traction with the deep tread on the sole that bites into icy conditions and boggy fields, giving you the grip to walk confidently through even the slipperiest patches.
Key Features:
- 100% waterproof
- Padded collar with drawstring tie

9. Muck Boots Derwent II Wellingtons
Not ankle wellies, but not tall wellies, these Muck Boots are the Goldilocks of boots for those who need just a slightly shorter mid-calf length.
Keeping your feet warm is made easy with the neoprene lining, but you've also got the breathable mesh lining to help prevent overheating. The best of both worlds, again! Alongside this, you've got tough soles that grip well on muddy walks, with the reinforced toes and ankles giving you the kind of support that’ll have you wondering why you ever wore anything else.
This pair comes in nice neutral colours, but we love the Camo Print for something a bit different.
Key Features:
- Fully lined with 4mm neoprene for flexibility
- Breathable PK mesh lining
- Durable soles with aggressive tread

10. Gateway1 Moor Country Lady 17" 3mm Side-Zip Wellingtons
Zip wellies are becoming more and more popular for country folk because they are just so easy to wear. These ones from Gateway1 also have an adjustable gusset, which helps accommodate wide calves or those who like a bit more of a roomy fit.
Something that's definitely worth mentioning is the running shoe-sole, as this is brilliant for us dog walkers who often take the scenic route. You get that comfortable, athletic feel to the boot, while ensuring you've got plenty of grip for all the mud and wet weather. In fact, these wellies have the extraordinary Lynx Ice-Grip+ soles that keep your feet firmly steady in temperatures ranging from -45C to +30C.
