So you may have noticed Luke’s love of wellies from some of our posts. He is in fact a welly fanatic and if given any option, a welly is his footwear of choice be it a blustery October day or a sunny July scorcher. What can I say, the kid knows his mind! It got to the point back in September, with Autumn rolling in, that I was forced to make an executive parental decision to just stop challenging him on it. If it’s wellies he wants, why on earth am I fighting him on it? So I just went mad and bought him two pairs of Kids Hunter wellies. So how did I manage to rationalise this to myself (and my husband!)?
Why Kids Hunters Wellies?
- They look great, the colours are bright and the selection is fantastic! This means that although he seems to literally live in wellies, they look somewhat respectable.
- Hunter wellies wear really well. No, like really well. Luke’s first pair of Hunters look like new despite the fact they were worn, a lot (did I mention the excessive year round obsession with wearing them!). This is of course a win win if like me you have a second tiny human who can fall into line for a shiny pair of hand-me-downs.
- The twinning opportunities! Mama and baby, brothers, brothers and sisters. Yes I know I sound ridiculous and somewhat pathetic but who doesn’t love a good matchy matchy welly shot for the memory books!
- For me, Hunter wellies are a family tradition for us. I grew up in the countryside in Co.Clare, my Mom and Dad both wore Hunters, I wore Hunters as a child and so the tradition lives on.
- Waterproof for the win and no more wet socks! Happy Mama, happy baby!
Where to buy Kids Hunter Wellies
