Aigle Wellies - Just What Puddles Are Made For!




Autumn is upon us and Winter is almost here, so it's time to celebrate! Why? Because with wind and rain come puddles and puddles make us happy! Splashing through the rain and puddles with your little ones is the best feeling in the world, but beware - puddling can be a dangerous sport if you're not well prepared!

Every self-respecting puddler knows that the most important bits of kit are your boots. Successful splashing depends on having the flexibility to stomp with force, safe in the knowledge that the water will land where it should - outside the boot and well away from toasty toes and little feet!

Toddlers and children won't put up with wet socks and cold feet for long, which is why Aigle are our best selling wellies - tried and tested over generations, and capable of winning a battle with the muddiest of puddles!

Aigle's wellington boots have been handmade in France for the last 160 years, and the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail continues today. The natural rubber (a portion of which is recycled) produces boots that are supple and flexible, but still sturdy enough to give support and durable enough to last for generations - one pair of boots can see their way through 4 or 5 children!


Making the Aigle Boots in France


Natural rubber has significant advantages over PVC or plastic wellies:

  • Natural rubber gives the boots a high resistance to wear, tearing and to the development of cracks or leaks.  
  • The rubber retains it's elasticity, even in extreme cold.
  • Natural rubber is more comfortable and is shock-absorbing (vital for extra high stomping!)





Aigle wellies are lined with soft cotton, further enhancing the comfort for little feet.  They've even got a reflective strip on the heel, so your child can be seen more easily if you like to indulge in a bit of night-puddling!








These premium quality handmade wellington boots are all that your little one will need for keeping out the rain, the mud and the snow - so come on, puddles - do your worst!
