Best Boots for Dog Walking

Every proud pup owner knows that dog walks can feel like a bit of a chore, particularly during the winter when lashings of rain, slippery mud, and a chilly breeze make us less enthusiastic than our dogs about heading to the woods, beach, or park for a run-around. The right waterproof ankle boots make a world of difference, giving you extra grip, water protection, snug warmth, and fantastic ankle support in all weather.
Our rubber dog-walking boots are specifically designed to keep a spring in your step, with 100% waterproof footwear materials that help you tackle the worst conditions with ease. The combination of superb-quality fabrics, precise engineering, unparalleled comfort, and cheerful and vibrant colours in these dog walking boots are as functional as they are beautiful, so you can embrace the outdoors with the same zest for life as your furry friend.

Created with natural, cruelty-free rubber with soft neoprene linings to offer protection from the elements, all the wellies in the Merry People boot range are ideal for walking your dogs, whether you love ankle boots that you can slip on and off with ease or need higher-profile footwear for better protection.
Our advice is to choose ultra-comfy waterproof shoes designed for all seasons. These boots will enable you to stay sure-footed during dry, hot summers and navigate the inevitable mud in the winter–making them one high-performance pair of fashion-forward waterproof boots you can wear year-round.
The Darcy Mid-Calf Boot and the Fergie Tall Wellington boot are great for countryside dog walks, parks, and nature trails that become boggy after rainfall. The adjustable fit around your calf means you can wear your dog-walking shoes over jeans or pair them with shorts to keep cool in the summer. Our rubber waterproof boots can be worn anytime, anywhere!

Absolutely! Our clogs, classic Bobbi boot, and chunky-heeled Tully boot all have a comfortable, generous fit and will safeguard your toes from cold, water, and dewy grass. Splash through puddles and streams to your heart's content, and your feet will stay dry in your Merry People boots!
Even if your dog-walking route is predominantly on concrete pavements or a canal towpath, you need walking footwear that properly supports your feet and won't let you down in an unexpected rain shower. What makes our ankle boots so great for dog walks in urban areas? The boots are:
Stylish, high-performance, and 100% vegan
Cleaning-friendly footwear and easy to wash off after muddy adventures
Grippy rubber with extra traction to help you stay balanced
Waterproof to keep your feet warm and dry
Made with in-built arch support for longer treks
If you're looking to make dog walking more fun, you can even complement your Merry People shoes with some cute accessories in our trademark bright, lively colours and timeless shades, from navy blues to mustard yellows and everything in between.
Our Merino wool socks combine moisture-wicking and odour absorption with your boots, using an organic cotton blend that stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Match your walking boots to one of our umbrellas, created in collaboration with BLUNT, and your early-morning dog walks will become part of your routine that you most look forward to!
