About this product

Wayfell's everyday fabric boot is cut with a generous forefoot, which suits walkers who find most fabric boots pinch. The upper is synthetic leather and polyester mesh over a Wayseal membrane.

Underneath, the Holdfast sole has 5mm lugs with wide gaps between them, so mud clears as you walk. A pair weighs 1,240g in a UK 8. It makes a sensible first proper boot for the Lakes.

  • Wayseal waterproof membrane
  • Holdfast sole with 5mm self-cleaning lugs
  • Generous forefoot for broad feet
  • Padded tongue with a gusset to keep out grit

  1. 4 out of 5

    Solid boot, a bit clumpy

    Grippy and dry. They feel heavier than the weight on the label, probably the chunky sole. The heel creaked for the first fortnight of dog walks, then went quiet.

    Wide feet sorted

    I've got wide feet and these are the first boots that didn't need stretching. Done the Fairfield Horseshoe twice and Helvellyn once. Still dry.
