Harris Waterproof Boots Dryboot

Product Information

If you’d like to gain skills and tips about how to walk safely and enjoyably with confidence in the hills whatever the weather, how about joining us for our Navigation Training for Beginners (or Refresher) morning on Saturday 14th November? In the meantime, we make no apologies for adding Xula Transparent Face Masks to our range - albeit, hopefully, temporarily. We have recently discovered, via a friend, these amazing masks that allow expressions and emotions to show - so important when social distancing is increasing isolation. How many of us have realised how much we lip read? Impossible with a mask. It must be so difficult for the hard of hearing. How frightening must it be for little children and the mentally disabled to see only half of a face, despite the pretty patterns below! One cannot smile now without the need to over exaggerate the eye squinting, in an effort to prove happiness or approval!!

The year was 1953. Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in Westminster Abbey, Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing became the first people to scale the summit of Mount Everest, women wore full skirted dresses with stiffened petticoats, men favoured three piece suits with fedora hats. Pubs closed at 10pm, cars, televisions, washing machines were all becoming more popular….and the very first ‘Dryboot’ rolled off the production line. It’s been more of a challenge because I have hypermobile ankles and knees, and hence I have to insert my recently acquired, specially moulded insoles to my walking footwear. All other footwear was making my feet wet and potentially damaging my very expensive insoles. ( I know the boots will keep my feet dry because I borrowed my husbands size 44’s!!!)

About Millets

It rained so hard today that I was delighted to put on my Harris Waterproof Dryboots that I bought earlier this year fromThe Dryboot Company The Dryboot Company was formed in July 2010 by Malcolm & Barbara Harris, former directors of 'The Welly Shop'. This is a brief history of the Harris Dryboot..... The boots are built to last, with many customers expressing satisfaction with their long-term durability, making them a good investment for the price.

I can’t tell you how happy I am!!! And, they are the comfiest boots I have ever put on! I will appreciate them every time I put them on (everyday!) thank you again.Autumn is upon us and winter is just around the corner. Time to put the garden to bed and look forward to those long, brisk winter walks - before returning to the log fire and glass of something warming! The Dryboot Company moved home in June, so it has been a very busy year for us. We have inherited a stunning garden with our beautiful 17th century cottage so the Dryboots have been working overtime! Wellies are fine for short walks but don’t support your ankles well on rough terrain. And I’m not a fan of soggy feet in wet hiking boots that need drying out overnight. So, whilst it should have been obvious, it felt like a revelation last Christmas when my uncle mentioned that he’d bought the same kind of rubber boots that his father and my grandfather Eric Hemery, Dartmoor guide, lecturer and author had worn to walk the moor most winters and on rainy days. These brilliant boots are warm, waterproof, and have great ankle support. And they’re great for splashing through puddles!

As a result of pressure from customers old and new, discussions are under way with regard to producing the Dryboot under our own brand name. The Harris Dryboot. Watch this space!The Harris Dry Boot is crafted using high-quality materials, ensuring superior comfort and support for extended periods of wear. Some customers have reported issues with the durability of the Dry Boot, claiming that it wears out or develops leaks sooner than expected. For frustratingly too long I have struggled to get the right, supportive footwear for my woodland dog walking; I like to hose my boots off and keep them on all day, in and out of the house. After almost 5 years of absorbing rising material and productions costs, we are reluctantly giving prior warning of a small but necessary increase in Dryboot prices, on January 1st 2021. The good news is there is plenty of time to take advantage of 2020 prices!! DECEMBER 2020 was a busy year for Dryboots and 2018 is already breaking records. Another 1200 pairs are en route to keep up with demand.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a gentle reminder that the price rise postponed from January will now take place on 1st March. Almost 5 years since the last increase and a reluctant but necessary step. We find that we are no longer able to absorb annual increases in materials and production costs and hope that our customers will understand. NOVEMBER 2021 Aggressive behaviour and threats towards our staff will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave immediately.A memorable year and the beginning of a long, hugely successful journey for a humble waterproof lace-up boot. Over the past 70 years the Dryboot has survived varying forms of competition from major manufacturers but continues to be one of the UK’s most popular, best value and most reliable waterproof boots for those seeking an alternative to a cumbersome knee length wellington. Well, the entire consignment sold out before we took delivery, so we apologise to all those disappointed customers. That's the bad news.... The good news is that we have now finalised arrangements for importing the Harris Dryboot - our own brand name! The first consignment will be available from late December 2013! The Harris Dryboots features 100 % waterproof rubber construction with a cotton lining and sturdy laces. Self cleaning, anti-clog soles make them ideal walking boots and suitable for almost any terrain. 'D' Ring lacing and full lining with additional padding to the ankle and along the footbed mean they stay confortable and last well. We have had several customers who report wearing the same pair of Viking Dryboots for 25 years (!) and the new Harris Waterproof boots are made by the same manufacturers using the same materials to the same high standards. I have just received and put on my new Harris Dryboots! They are brilliant... beyond brilliant!! Thank you!
