Whether you’re heading inside after an afternoon of gardening or dashing between appointments on a rainy day, slip-on waterproof ankle gumboots are the ultimate go-to shoe. Designed for ease and accessibility, they’re perfect for busy days or whenever the weather takes a turn.
Here at Merry People, we’ve built out a range of colourful, comfortable, yet fashionable slip-on boots over the past 10 years. From the versatile Bobbi Boot to the high-coverage Darcy and the chunky Tully Boot, there’s a pair for every personality!
Let’s explore how these boots have your back all year round, and how to style them for any occasion.
Waterproof Gumboots for All Seasons
Merry People’s slip-on ankle gumboots are perfect year-round because the 100% rubber exterior and sole naturally repels moisture. All of our boots are lined with neoprene–the same material used to make wetsuits–to create additional insulation, cushioning, and optimal comfort.
So, what are the differences between our stylish and functional boots?
Let’s take a walk through each of our ankle-height gumboots:
Andie Boot
Our Andie Boot is a sleek, modern take on the classic slip-on gumboot. Perfect for the messiest of tasks and adventures, Andie features a 360° rubber outer, offering more coverage with 30mm extra height compared to our Bobbi Boot.
Bobbi Boot
Looking for a boot that offers the same aesthetic as your favourite Chelsea boots, but is robust enough to last through any type of weather? Then our Bobbi Boot may be your new best friend. This boot has the largest range of colours, with fifteen unique options for whatever your inner fashionista needs.
Your footwear should be comfortable, accessible, and stylish. Our Bobbi Boot brings these three factors together perfectly, with built-in arch support, front and back pull tabs for easier wear and a classic Chelsea-style silhouette.
Tully Boot
If you're looking for a durable boot that is as vibrant and unique as you, then our Tully Boots are the closet-refresh you’ve been searching for. This playful silhouette is a fashion-forward take on our classic gumboot, with a nod to 90s nostalgia.
Equipped with a chunky heel and wrap-around neoprene cuff, our Tully Boots blend on-trend shapes with Merry People’s signature comfort and protection from the weather.
How to Style Waterproof Slip-On Boots
Waterproof slip-on boots can be a fashion staple just as much as a functional one. Here are a few ways you can style your Merry People slip-on boots with your favourite outfits:
With Jeans
Skinny or wide-leg, gumboots go great with denim.
Ankle-length jeans let your boots shine while keeping cuffs splash-free, while flared or bootcut styles create an effortlessly cool peek-a-boot look. If your jeans run long, a quick cuff roll adds flair and prevents bunching. For a bold statement, try pairing colourful boots with classic blue denim or experiment with patterns and monochrome vibes. Ultimately, the best pairing is simple: your favourite jeans and your Merry People boots. Find out more tips on styling your boots with denim.
With Skirts and Dresses
We love an unexpected pairing; gumboots and dresses!
A chunky heel, like our Tully Boot, can make your florals feel more edgy, and our Chelsea-style Bobbi Boot will keep you looking chic while feeling comfortable and dry.
With Snow Gear
These waterproof boots are designed to keep the cold and wet out while keeping your feet dry and toasty warm on the inside. The neoprene lining and natural rubber exterior naturally repel water, perfect for unexpected snowy days or snowboarding vacations.
