Barbour Dena II Designer Wellington Boots in Black Tartan

Barbour has been creating clothing and footwear for British outdoor life since John Barbour founded the company in South Shields in 1894. Originally supplying protective clothing to sailors, fishermen and mariners, the fifth generation family owned business has grown into an internationally recognised lifestyle brand while remaining closely associated with the British countryside.

These premium tall Wellington boots combine practical wet weather protection with a much more fashion focused appearance than a traditional country welly. Jet black rubber is complemented by the subtle shadow tartan upper, while prominent Barbour branding and the adjustable top strap give the design its distinctive character.

Tartan has become an important part of Barbour's identity. The brand introduced its first exclusive tartan in 1998, drawing inspiration from the Ayrshire District tartan and colours associated with the British countryside. The darker interpretation used here gives that traditional influence a particularly contemporary look.

Designed for women who want their outdoor footwear to look as good as the rest of their wardrobe, these are ideal for dog walking, country weekends, festivals and everyday wet weather. The raised rubber sole provides plenty of grip, while the memory foam footbed and textile lining help keep them comfortable during longer periods of wear.

Black makes this version particularly versatile. Wear them over skinny jeans or leggings with a chunky cream knit and wax jacket for classic Barbour styling, or combine them with black jeans, an oversized coat or quilted gilet for a more contemporary look. Practical enough for muddy walks yet stylish enough to keep wearing afterwards, they are an excellent autumn and winter choice.
