In the early 1800′s the 1st Duke of Wellington asked his shoemaker to make something comfortable that could withstand the elements.  And so Wellington boots were born and they’re still just as useful.  Hunter was founded in 1856 and has been handmaking these boots from solid natural rubber ever since.  Buckle at the mid-calf, just like the originals.  Enjoy.  $100.
