If you’re looking for an alternative to normal wellington boots then look no further! Grubs Shoreline are perfect in every way. I never thought I’d be so happy to receive a pair of boots but there’s just something different about these ones.
The black boots arrived inside a large box which was safely packaged in a mailing bag. I must admit when picking up the box, I thought the boots were going to be really heavy but I were pleasantly surprised when trying them on and I certainly got proved wrong. I love how they have some little tags attached which outlines the main features of the boots. Sometimes with branded footwear, there can be a little booklet inside the box which can be boring to read so I much prefer the tags!
I do believe that these boots will be really useful all year round. So far, I’ve only worn them on wet days in Summer and I was amazed at how comfortable they were and I felt like my feet could actually breathe despite the high temperatures. They do feel very light when walking which is a bonus too. One of the main features is that they are 100% waterproof so I’ll no longer be phased by the wet weather knowing I have suitable footwear. They’re also fully insulated so I’m looking forward to wearing them in the colder months as I’m sure they will keep my feet nice and warm.
When going for long walks outside, I do try to avoid any slippy surfaces but with the Shoreline boots on, I feel totally different and like I can walk on anything without hesitation because the grip is fantastic. The ankle height is just perfect and they look great when on your feet. The soft cushioning will ensure you can walk for miles in comfort. The Grubs website does state that they have “ a 15mm allowance for wool blend/combination socks” which is great as I do prefer to wear thicker socks than normal with this kind of footwear. I found that the sizing is perfect too.
Due to walking outside in the wet weather, some dirt appeared on the boots. As instructed on the website, I used water and a soft bristle brush gently which cleaned them really well and they were looking like new again in seconds. I then left them to dry naturally which didn’t take too long. I am yet to purchase some rubber conditioner or natural oil but I will be certainly investing in some to ensure the maximum care is given to the boots.
I do think overall, this is excellent value for money and you won’t be disappointed with a pair of Grubs Shoreline boots! If you would like to walk in comfort, knowing your feet are fully protected then these are the perfect footwear. The fact that they are super stylish is an added bonus too.
