Do You Wear Socks with Gumboots?

Gumboots & Socks

Do you wear socks with gumboots?

This is a question we hear all the time and the answer is - it's up to you!  Our wellies are lined with neoprene to make them soft and cushy inside so socks are not required for comfort; however, wearing socks makes it a bit easier to slip the rain boots on and off.  

But wearing socks with your gumboots is more than about practical needs - its also about fashion! While any old sock will work for comfort, we find that pairing up a cute sock with your Bobbi boot is a quick and easy way to add personality to your outfit. The right sock can tone down a printed dress and your Bobbi Beetroot boots, or act as a colour bridge to marry your Pear Green Bobbi gumboots with the rest of your outfit.  

To help inspire your gumboot and sock personal style, we have rounded up some of our favourite wellie and sock pairings! We’ve also included a list of some of our favourites spots to shop excellent socks to spruce up any outfit.
