Underlying the beautiful design, the Merry People Bobbi Boot is underpinned with functional credibility. For the exterior, our wildly popular Bobbi gumboot is built with a quality natural rubber outer and sole. The weatherproofing capabilities of natural rubber will keep you dry year-round for all your outdoor adventures - be it a wet, wintery commute, morning walks on damp spring days, planting your autumn harvest in the garden, or when you get those unexpected summer rains while camping.
Inside, our Bobbi ankle gumboots are fully lined with 4mm of neoprene, the same material used in wetsuits. This unique feature makes the Merry People Bobbi Boot comfortable and cushioned from ankle to toe. The neoprene also serves to keep you warm and cozy in winter and allows our rain boots to be rated for below-freezing temperatures. Since all waterproof boots can be a bit toasty in summer, we recommend pairing your rubber Bobbi gumboots with natural fibre socks to make them a bit lighter.
With front and back pull tabs, the Bobbi boot is easy to slide on and off. It also includes a removable insole to allow for more cushion, or to create a bit more space for orthotics, bunions, or a wider foot.

Merry People Bobbi boots are designed to be a standard width B and fit true to size using European sizing.
If you are a half size, we recommend sizing down, e.g. if you wear a 38.5, buy a 38. The initial fit should be snug as the natural rubber will soften with wear. If you are uncertain about your boot size, we recommend measuring your foot or an inner sole of a favourite shoe and comparing those measurements to those on our handy size chart, available here .
Being fabricated with natural materials means our boots will soften and stretch with wear. If they feel a bit too snug at first, we recommend removing the inner sole for the first few days to help with the fit, and you may find that after a few days of wear the boots will have relaxed and you can pop the inner sole back into place. And don’t worry if you need to keep the inner sole out; our Bobbi ankle gumboots are built with arch support and cushion in the main sole ensuring your comfort! We often get asked if our ankle rain boots fit wide feet or if you can you stretch rain boots. The short answer is yes! The natural outer rubber of our Bobbi ankle boots will soften to allow for wider feet or bunions. Similarly, the inner neoprene lining has similar properties to memory foam and it will soften, stretch and mould to your feet over time.
If, however, the fit doesn’t feel right, you can always return to us for an exchange size or a full refund.

- Do I need to wear socks with my gumboots?
- With a cushy neoprene lining, socks are not necessary but we do recommend wearing them. It will make it easier to get the boots on and off, plus it is also super cute! For some inspiration on the many ways to wear socks with your gumboots, check out our Blog.
- Can I wear ankle boots in the snow?
- Yes you sure can! Our Bobbi boot has been tested for sub-zero temperatures keeping your toes dry and toasty-warm.
- Are your rain boots comfortable?
- Our Bobbi boot is built with arch support in the sole and a cushy neoprene lining.
- Can I put orthotics inside the rain boots?
- Yes, the inner sole inside the boots can be removed and replaced with your orthotics. If it still doesn't feel right, you can always return to us for a full refund.
- Are Merry People Bobbi boots non-slip? Can I wear them to work?
- Merry People boots are not non-slip and do not have any work safe accreditations. We have not designed the boots to be work boots, they have been designed to be a fashionable waterproof and lifestyle boot.
- Should rain boots be one size bigger?
- No, we recommend the inner sole of the Bobbi boot to be around the same length as your foot (no less). The neoprene lining around your foot will soften over time. We suggest you go with your standard shoe size (don't order bigger for socks.) If you wear thick socks, then measure your foot wearing the thicker socks.
