Hunter Wellies are established as a style classic, worn by celebrities and fashionistas the world over. Hunter Wellies were originally designed for walking in Scotland's rugged terrain and combating its unpredictable weather. Since then, the reputation of Hunter's wellies for performance, durability and outstanding comfort has become legendary.

The story of Hunter Wellington Boots starts in 1856 when Henry Lee Norris, an American entrepreneur landed in Scotland in search of a base to make boots from. Hunter Wellies were used extensively during World War I, with huge demand for a boot that was suitable for the flooded conditions of the trenches. In total, 1,185,036 pairs of Hunter Wellies were produced to satisfy the Army's demands. The Hunter Welly Boot was now a functional necessity.

The most famous Hunter Welly, the Original Green Wellington was first produced in 1955 and was the first orthopedic boot that Hunter made, launched alongside the Royal Hunter (now replaced by the Balmoral Royal, the ultimate in luxury wellies!).

Today, Hunter Wellies remain the preferred brand for those wanting a a hard-wearing, great looking and long lasting wellington boot. The Royal Family, festival-goers and working farmers all rely on the legendary comfort and durability of Hunter Welly Boots.
