Best Boots for The Family

Every parent knows that getting outside with the family can feel like a challenge—especially when the weather turns wet, with heavy rain, slick mud, and a chilly breeze making trips to the woods, beach, or park less inviting. That’s where the right waterproof ankle boots come in. With added grip, full water protection, cozy warmth, and strong ankle support, they make all-weather family outings a breeze.

Our rubber walking boots are purpose-built for wet and wild conditions, crafted from 100% waterproof materials to help you and your loved ones take on soggy trails and stormy sidewalks with ease. Blending premium materials, expert craftsmanship, unmatched comfort, and bright, cheerful colors, these boots are as stylish as they are practical—helping the whole family step into the outdoors

Created with natural, cruelty-free rubber and soft neoprene linings to offer protection from the elements, all the wellies in the Merry People boot range are perfect for family adventures—whether you love ankle boots that are easy to slip on for quick school runs or need taller boots for extra protection on weekend outings.

Our advice is to choose ultra-comfy waterproof shoes designed for all seasons. These boots will keep the whole family sure-footed during dry, hot summers and help navigate muddy winter trails—making them a high-performance, fashion-forward option you can rely on year-round.

The Darcy Mid-Calf Boot and the Fergie Tall Wellington boot are ideal for countryside strolls, park playdates, and nature walks that get boggy after rainfall. The adjustable fit around the calf means they can be worn over jeans or paired with shorts to stay cool in summer. Our rubber waterproof boots are built for family fun—anytime, anywhere!

Absolutely! Our clogs, classic Bobbi boot, and chunky-heeled Tully boot all have a comfortable, generous fit and will protect everyone’s toes from the cold, water, and dewy grass. Splashing through puddles becomes a family favorite when your feet stay dry in your Merry People boots!

Even if your usual stroll takes you along city pavements or a nearby canal path, you still need footwear that supports your feet and won’t give in during a surprise downpour. Our ankle boots are stylish, high-performance, and 100% vegan. They're easy to clean after muddy park play, made with grippy rubber for extra traction to help the whole family stay steady, and completely waterproof to keep little and big feet warm and dry. With built-in arch support, they're ideal for longer outings, too.

If you're looking to make walking more enjoyable for everyone, complement your Merry People shoes with fun accessories in our signature bright, cheerful colours and timeless shades—from navy blues to mustard yellows. Our Merino wool socks are perfect for families, offering moisture-wicking, odour resistance, and a breathable organic cotton blend that stays cool in summer and warm in winter. Top it all off with one of our bold BLUNT umbrellas, and your family’s morning walks might just become the best part of the day!
