When you think of gumboots, you might picture a well-worn, reliable pair—great for yard work or casual strolls, but maybe not your go-to for a night out.
In 2014, our Founder and CEO, Dani Pearce, set out to make the classic gumboot an everyday wardrobe staple; blending its practicality with a modern, stylish twist.
The result? Our Bobbi Boot: gumboots that give you both function and fashion, ready for adventure rain or shine!

Key Features of Merry People Boots
Our boots are designed to give you the best of both worlds; function and style.
Here’s what you can always expect from a pair of Merry People boots:
Designed for Comfort
Each of our boots are created with built-in arch support for all-day comfort, with the option to remove the insoles to accommodate any orthotics, bunions, or special inserts.
The neoprene lining also provides additional warmth and insulation, as well as cushioning to give you the optimal cosy vibes every step of your day.
Durable for Everyday
All of our boots are designed to last, made with high-quality materials, enhanced traction grip, and quality natural rubber.
This allows our boots to stand out against the elements. Our boots are also easy to clean and maintain; all you need to do is rinse your boots off with water, and they’re good as new!
Sustainability Shapes Our Boots
In 2023, we partnered with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure our packaging pulp and rubber for boots come from responsibly sourced, well-managed plantations, where workers are treated fairly. This year, we plan to move all of our styles to natural Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) rubber.
What about the packages you receive your boots in? All of our boots, socks, and even our care kids are packaged in FSC-Mix, which is a mixture of 80% recycled fibre and 20% FSC-certified new materials. This protects products while reducing our carbon footprint.
Our boots are also 100% vegan, and never tested on animals.
Why Choose Merry People Boots?
Designed for comfort and durability, our boots keep you dry, cosy, and stylish no matter where life takes you.
