A Guide to Barbour Wellingtons

Your Barbour wellingtons are designed to offer a secure yet comfortable fit - supportive enough for long country walks, but never restrictive. There should be a little room to accommodate your usual socks or trousers, ideally leaving about a finger’s width of space to ensure easy movement and comfort throughout the day.

For straight pull-on styles, a little allowance is essential to make room for your foot to enter comfortably, so these boots will never fit as precisely as a lace-up style. This is completely normal and ensures practicality when slipping them on and off. We also recommend allowing space for a thicker pair of socks - perfect for those colder months when warmth and comfort are key.

For wider calves, if your preference is a taller wellington, we recommend opting for our styles that feature adjustable straps, like the Tempest & Tynedale which offer a comfortable and adaptable fit for those countryside days.

If a mid or shorter, ankle wellington style is what you’re looking for, these tend to offer easier wear and greater freedom of movement.

Whichever style you choose, each pair of Barbour wellingtons are built to deliver dependable comfort, timeless heritage, and effortless elegance - ready to face the elements with classic British poise.

Our wellington boots are designed in most cases to fit true to size, so we recommend choosing your usual shoe size. Each pair is thoughtfully crafted with enough room to accommodate a thicker, comfortable sock - ideal for chilly countryside walks and crisp winter days.

As with all footwear, the most important factor is how they feel on your feet. A secure yet comfortable fit ensures lasting wear, whether you’re exploring muddy trails or strolling through town. Simply choose your regular size and let timeless Barbour craftsmanship do the rest.
