Merry People Gumboots Review: Stylish, Durable & Fun for All Ages
Have you heard about the Merry People Gumboots for women and kids that everyone is raving about? Well, we finally got some for ourselves and want to tell you all about them!
Merry People Gumboots
Finding the perfect pair of gumboots can be tricky. We have tried the cheaper gumboots and the more expensive ones, but the Merry People Gumboots are by far the favourite!
This Australian brand has redefined gumboots, offering a stylish, comfortable, and durable range that suits everyone from urban explorers to outdoor adventurers. Whether you need something practical for rainy commutes, weekend adventures with the family, or sports days like me where the weather in winter is totally unpredictable, Merry People has a boot for you.
We’ve been testing out their popular Bobbi Boots for adults and the brand-new Andie Kids Boots, here’s why we love them.
Merry People Bobbi Boots for Adults
The Merry People gumboots have quickly become my go to! The Bobby Boots have a sleek design, they are so comfy, and most of all practical. Made from natural rubber with a flexible neoprene lining, these boots are waterproof and perfect for wet and muddy conditions.
They are easy to throw on if you need to head out to the shops or take the kids to the park. But for me as a sports mum, I spend countless cold and wet mornings standing on the sidelines watching my kids play, and these boots have been a game-changer.
You really can brighten any dull day with a colourful gumboot and Merry People have so many colours available and it really took me so long to choose.
What we love about the Merry People Women’s Bobbi Gumboots:
- 100% waterproof natural rubber exterior
- Neoprene lining for warmth and comfort
- Durable, slip-resistant sole
- Available in a variety of stylish and colourful options to suit any personality
- Designed for all-day wear, whether in the garden, on a hike, or running errands in the rain
When it comes to gumboots for women, Merry People boots are not the cheapest, however they are in line with other high quality brands starting from $159.95. They are worth it though as they are long lasting. You won’t need another pair for a long time (although you probably will want another pair so you can have another colour).
What I love most about the Bobbi Boots, is how these boots don’t feel bulky like traditional gumboots, making them just as easy to wear for a coffee run as they are for a muddy walk. They have quickly become my favourite go-to boots when I need something practical but look good too.
Merry People Andie Kids Boots
If you have kids who love to splash in puddles, play in the mud, and explore the outdoors no matter the weather, the Andy Boots are a must-have. Just like the adult range, they come in bright, playful colours that kids will love, making rainy day adventures even more exciting.
The launch of these Andy boots in addition to the Kids Bobbi Boots originals, is exciting news for parents who already love Merry People’s adult range and want the same quality for their little adventurers.
What we love about the Merry People Andi Kids Gumboots:
- Lightweight and comfortable design for little feet
- Made from natural rubber with a soft neoprene lining
- Slip-resistant sole for stability on wet or muddy surfaces
- Easy pull-on design with a flexible fit
- Available in fun, kid-friendly colours
Most kids love running straight for the biggest puddles they can find, so these kids gumboots mean you don’t have to stress about soggy socks or wet feet. The Andy Boots keep them dry and warm, and the bright colours make them even more fun to wear. Plus, they’re so easy to get on and off—no struggling with zippers or laces!
What to consider before your purchase
There are so many fun colours available that you will probably spend a long time trying to decide a colour! But you don’t need to be too picky, you really can match the colours with so many different types of clothing.
The only thing I would mention is that if you’ll be wearing your boots in a muddy environment often and don’t like to clean them, consider selecting a darker colour. While they do clean up easily and look new again, a darker colour might be a better choice if you’d rather not worry about stains or frequent cleaning.
Fit wise, they are seem on point. The women’s gumboots fit perfectly which is great because our feet don’t grow. The kids boots I feel you need to size up to give that extra bit of growing room.
Price-wise, Merry People boots are on the more expensive side, however they are still in line with other premium gumboot brands we’ve purchased before. Sizes and colours can sell out quickly though. Also, Merry People Gumboots don’t go on sale, so don’t wait around!
Where to Purchase Merry People Gumboots?
Merry People has done an incredible job at creating gumboots that are both stylish and functional for all ages. Whether you’re after boots for yourself or your kids, Merry People’s range is a worthwhile investment in comfort, durability, and everyday adventure.
