Wellies for festivals - help!

[The Devils Arse]

This is probably the most boring question in the world but I've always found tattlers to be helpful and knowledgeable!

I'm looking for a pair of wellies that are stylish, warm but also supportive. Have issues with sciatica and plantar fasciitis hence the need for support. They would be for festivals and when it's cold and muddy outside. So not for every day use.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Personally I wouldn’t bother with traditional welly boots if you are needing something supportive and warm - welly boots aren’t generally either of those and even if you pay through the nose for a pair of the high end type (like Hunters) they are still just a basic welly boot - you are just paying for the name with them. No idea what your budget is but I’d suggest looking for something more like a proper outdoor waterproof boot - which will keep you warm and dry and support your feet.

something like this:

yes they are expensive but Hunter wellies are about £80 upwards. And these boots will still look cool over skinny jeans or leggings or with shorts/dress at a festival.

I used to work in a shoe shop- fun fact- hunters wellies are NOT waterproof. I couldn’t believe it when I found out

For festivals I’ve always bought a pair of dr martens and worn them - so comfy when they’re worn in, waterproof, last for years and look great at a festival

Eh, what good are they as wellies then?! The Glastonbury goers must always have soggy feet as that's all they seem to wear!

So I've purchased these and been marching around the house in them, much more supportive than normal wellies. Thanks @BettyCrockerr !
