Barbour Dark Navy Tartan Neoprene Designer Chelsea Welly

Barbour has been creating practical clothing and footwear for British outdoor life since 1894. Founded in South Shields, the family owned company remains closely associated with country living, combining its heritage with modern designs that are equally at home in town.

This contemporary ankle Wellington offers a stylish alternative to a traditional tall welly. Deep navy rubber is complemented by tartan inspired neoprene around the ankle, bringing together two colours and textures strongly associated with classic Barbour styling. Prominent branding and twin pull loops complete the distinctive look.

The fully bagged neoprene lining is an important feature, providing a softer and more insulating interior for colder autumn and winter days. Combined with the full length memory foam footbed, it makes these particularly suitable for dog walks, weekend outings and occasions where you may be on your feet for longer periods.

Underfoot, the substantial cleated rubber sole provides dependable grip across wet grass, muddy paths and slippery surfaces. The raised 5cm heel gives the boot a more contemporary profile than a conventional Wellington, while the ankle height makes them quick and convenient to put on when heading outside.

Dark navy is particularly easy to incorporate into the wardrobe. Wear them with blue denim, leggings or walking trousers, adding a cream knit, quilted gilet or wax jacket for a classic country look. Navy also works beautifully with olive, beige, burgundy and natural tones, making these a practical wet weather boot that does not look out of place once the walk is over.
