What could be cuter than a miniature Hunter wellie made just for kids?! Just as fun and functional as their adult size counterparts, the kids wellies are available in a rainbow of colors and are hand-lasted for a comfortable, waterproof fit. Perfect for those wet Spring days at the stables and beyond!
Hunter wellies can also be a fun lesson in the history of the rubber boot. Kids and adults alike might be surprised to learn that Hunter was actually founded by an American immigrant to Edinburgh, Scotland in 1856. In addition to being the preferred boot of the Royal Family, Hunter boots were also issued to soldiers in both WWI and II. And Paddington Bear started wearing his signature red wellies way back in 1972!
If you’re really desperate for laughs on yet another rainy day, you’re bound to get a few giggles from the little ones when you tell them that the biggest Hunter wellie ever made was a size 18 for a veterinarian in Derbyshire! Or that, in the 1990′s, Hunter even met rubber boots (called the Hubble) for cows!
