If you are spending your chilly mornings and nights watching your child play sport or watching your favourite team as a sports spectator, you’ll know the importance of wearing practical and comfortable shoes. 

Even better if your footwear is waterproof, warm and stylish! 

That’s where my favourite Merry People gumboots come into play. And I love love their whole range! (Read my fabulous review of Merry People Boots).

These versatile and trendy gumboots are making waves with sporting parents all over Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US. Certainly, you can go to any footy ground in Melbourne in winter, and you’ll see how popular these colourful gumboots really are!

Why Merry People Boots Are Perfect For Sports

If you’re watching sporting events you’re often outdoors – and sometimes standing on damp grass or even enduring cold wet days. 

The Merry People waterproof boots offer a win-win situation combining style, comfort, and functionality.

Weatherproof Materials

Each Merry People gumboot is made from rubber and designed to withstand various weather conditions, keeping your feet dry and comfortable during rain or shine. Say goodbye to soggy socks!

Comfortable Fit

Sporting events can be long, which is why Merry People shoes prioritise comfort and added support. The neoprene lining provides arch support and cushioning, allowing you to stay on your feet for extended periods. I love the khaki green Tully Boot which has a wider opening, flexible neoprene and in-built arch support.

Add a pair of breathable Merry People socks for extra comfort! 

Lots of Colour options

Gone are the days of sacrificing style for practicality. The Merry People Bobbi gumboot and Merry People Tully boots come in a range of fashionable colours that will make you feel stylish and put together, including new colour-combos like alpine green and oxford blue.

You could even match your Bobbi Boot or Tully boots with your favourite team’s colours – there are 15 different hues to choose from!

Versatility

Whether you’re attending an outdoor soccer match or an indoor basketball game, Merry People Bobbi Boots and Tully boots are versatile enough to fit any sporting occasion.

Easy to clean

Sporting events can get messy, but with Merry People Boots, cleanup is a breeze. Simply wipe off any dirt or mud, and your boots will be ready for the next game. 

The Merry People Care Kit also contains products for an easy 3-step boot care process that’s designed to clean, restore, and protect your Merry People Boots. 

With their durable construction, weatherproof materials, and trendy colourways, Merry People boots should be the go-to choice for parents who want to look good while supporting their little athletes. 

Never worry about discomfort or weather conditions again when it comes to your footwear. Step into your Merry People and just enjoy the game!

Merry People Sizing

Q: What size Merry People gum boots should I order?

Merry People sizing states that their boots run true to size, so I recommend ordering your normal shoe size for the perfect fit. 

For instance, I’m a size 38 shoe with narrow feet and I have size 38 and 39 boots. The size 38 boots are just right and fit snugly, but there is no room between the toe and the tip of the shoe ie I can’t wear very thick socks with the boots. The size 39 boots are roomy everywhere so I wear them with thick socks and an insole (and in fact I’ve passed them down to my daughter who is a size 39 shoe size now). 

Both the rubber and neoprene have some elasticity, so there is a little bit of stretch to the gumboots. They also come with removable innersoles. These classic gumboots may feel tighter on the first wear. It will eventually mould to the shape of your foot and that’s what makes these fab boots super comfortable.

I’ve experimented with adding and removing the inner sole of the Tully Boot when fitting half sizes. The Merry People size guide shows the innersole measurements, making it easy to compare their stylish boots to an existing pair of shoes you already own.
