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 gumboots to an existing pair of shoes you already own. For half sizes, we recommend sizing down when purchasing gumboots.

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.

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 clothing 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 with your outfit gives you room to explore what ‘rainwear’ really means. With taller gumboots, 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 outfit 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 gumboots 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.

Whether you’re planning to dance your weekend away at an outdoor festival, regularly attend Saturday afternoon football matches to watch your kids, or spend a lot of time outdoors walking dogs, commuting on foot, or tending to your garden, you need a pair of rubber gumboots that can keep up.

Our range of gumboots does just that, incorporating all the precision-engineered details we’re known for to aid in foot comfort and arch support, but with a higher height to keep your calves and ankles 100% protected from mud, rain and anything else the weather has to throw at you.

Each of our taller gumboots has a neat calf strap to adjust your boots to the perfect fit, where you can loosen your rubber boots to tuck in your trousers or tighten the fit to the exact size of your calves.

Here at Merry People, we’re all about making functional gumboots beautiful and providing an exclusive range of wellington boots to suit every style, outfit, and personality! Within our tall gumboots range, we have two fantastic designs:

• The Fergie is an ultra-stylish take on the conventional knee-high boot. Fergie Gumboots are packed with features and design accents that elevate the humble wellie into modern-day fashion, with a thick, chunky heel and contrasting colours.
• The Darcy Mid-Calf Boot has a classic gumboot silhouette, reaching comfortably to the middle of the calf, so you can walk, run, or dance without restriction! The matching size adjuster means you can tighten or loosen your boots to fit.

Both of these superb gumboots are designed with our vegan materials and natural rubber for durability, with in-built support for your arches and a super-soft neoprene lining that feels snug and comfortable while keeping your toes warm. 

Whether you’re going for a country casual vibe or want to ensure your walk to and from work is as comfortable as possible, the easy-wear nature of our taller boot designs works perfectly when slipped on over tights, leggings, trousers, jeans, or other clothing. Coordinate your wellington boots with hats, gloves, and scarves, or go for a pop of vibrant colour to augment your outdoor clothing style.

Fergie is one of our latest additions, named after the Ferguson Tree - a record-breaking tree in Victoria, Australia, recorded as the tallest ever! We designed the Fergie to be the taller Gumboot, and focused on innovation in material selection without deviating from the cruelty-free fabrics you love.

Each Fergie boot features a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified rubber upper section, recycled rubber within 20% of the outsole, and an 85% recycled PU removable innersole. Walk, explore, and adventure with the confidence of fully weatherproof rubber rain boots, all with the assurance that your tall gumboots are produced from an outstanding variety of sustainable and recycled materials. 

The thick, chunky soles are a nod to trend-conscious wearers but make zero compromises on comfort, with the rigorous quality testing you’d expect from Merry People–packaged into a gumboot that is effortlessly functional, chic, and versatile!
