Should Wellington Boots Be Loose?

Wellies are supposed to be tight enough to prevent your feet slipping out. They should also be loose enough to accommodate thick socks, without pinching any part of your feet or legs. Don't try to stretch your rubber boots if they don't fit – this could damage the rubber.

How should a Wellington boot fit?

Wellies should be snug against your calves but not tight. Make use of the strap to have them as loose or as tight as you feel comfortable with. If you don't like full-length wellies that go up to your knees, you might want to consider a shorter style that reaches your mid-calves instead.
