Tall Gumboots

Our tall gumboots run true to size, so we recommend ordering your normal shoe size. The size guide on the product page shows the innersole measurements making it easy to compare our boots to an existing pair of shoes you already own. For half sizes, we recommend sizing down.

It can be tricky purchasing footwear online so we have stockist partners around Australia & NZ where you can try on and purchase Merry People gumboots, find your closest retailer here.

Not all colours and styles of gumboots are available at stockists, we recommend calling ahead to check first. We also offer free shipping and returns so you can try the full range risk free direct through Merry People.

Merry People have regular stock arrivals across our core colour range of Black, Beetroot, Oxford Blue, Mustard Yellow and Alpine Green. We also have seasonal colour deliveries with new and returning shades arriving across the year. However, we love to offer different shades of gumboots, so not every style is restocked in each shipment.

We also offer presale from time to time to ensure the best chance of securing your pair. Sign up to our email list to always find out first. 

At Merry People we never put our gumboots on sale. We’ve created quality gumboots with a functional and classic design that can be worn season on season, year after year.

We strive to offer the lowest possible price all year round, to all of our customers. However, we do understand that many of us are on tight budgets, and are becoming more conscious of our purchases.

We sometimes have samples, lightly worn boots used for photoshoots or events, and some factory seconds at our office. If purchasing a pair of these gumboots appeals to you, please email us with the size & colour you are looking for, and we will do our best to help you.

Styling tall gumboots gives you room to explore what ‘rainwear’ really means. With taller boots, you can showcase your playful side with knee-high socks fitted over tights, leggings, or other form-fitted clothing to allow your gumboots to shine as a fashion statement.

We recommend pairing your Wellington boots with tight leggings or trousers to protect the leg cuffs from puddles and snow, and to provide additional warmth on chilly, drizzly days. Bundle up with your favourite trench or longline coat and you’re ready to go!

For transitional seasons, such as autumn and spring, rainwear is still necessary and those cloudy days can catch you off guard! Our wellies are the perfect playmate for a flowy skirt or shorts, so you’re always prepared–no matter the weather.

Whether it’s equipping your wardrobe for the rainy season or replacing your well-loved gumboots, both tall and ankle wellies are more than a fair-weather friend and make the perfect rainwear. There are a few key differences between the two, so which boot is best for your rainwear ventures?

Ankle boots are perfect for walks where an open-toed shoe might be too chilly, or the risk of a sudden downpour isn’t worth mucking up your favourite white sneakers. These rainwear boots provide protection to your entire foot up to a few centimetres above the ankle. They are weather-resilient and are discreet, complementing your skinny jeans or allowing you to show off your favourite socks. 

Tall Wellington boots, like our Darcy and Fergie boots, will reach mid-calf or knee height. We love our taller wellies because they provide additional protection to your feet and ankles from puddle splashes while keeping you snug and warm on even the chilliest days out. These Gumboots add a utilitarian flair to any outfit and are perfect for tucking your cosy leggings and stylish jeans into.

Wellies that are both fashionable and functional are the optimal rainwear. While our Darcy mid-calf gumboots are a timeless favourite that comes in a range of colours that allow you to showcase your unique style, they’re now sharing the spotlight with our Fergie Tall Gumboots.

With Fergie wellies, we’re reaching new heights. Named after the Ferguson tree–the tallest tree recorded in Victoria, Australia - the Fergie is a sleek black Wellington boot that reaches just below the knee for additional coverage for your outdoor excursions.

The best part? Fergie boasts the same features as Darcy in terms of flexible neoprene lining, arch support, and is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Both gumboots are made with high-quality, natural rubber and are 100% waterproof, making them ideal for rainwear.

The Fergie is just the taller best friend of the Darcy, and both are closet staples crafted to give you a Wellington boot that you’ll love.
