Dunlop Wellingtons and Safety Boots

Dunlop have developed a range of serious protective footwear.  Their wellingtons are anti-slip, thermal and shock absorbing which makes them perfect for people who need to be in wellingtons all day.  They have been designed to be incredibly comfortable and durable with wellingtons available in the range for any environment.  

Founded in 1888, the Dunlop® brand is best known for manufacturing high-quality rubber footwear suitable for a variety of uses.

Here’s their story, “John Boyd Dunlop had a simple idea that changed the world. While he was watching his son ride on a tricycle one day, he noticed how uncomfortable he was, riding over stones and uneven terrain with hard, rubber tires. He covered the wheels in thin, rubber sheets, glued them together and made them springy by pumping them up with a football pump. And there it was, the pneumatic tire providing his son lots of comfort riding his bike. In 1888, John applied for a patent for the pneumatic rubber tire and in 1889 he opened his first tire factory in Dublin, Ireland.

In 1927, Dunlop teamed up with Liverpool Rubber Co Ltd and expanded his production with protective footwear. And hence the Dunlop boot was born. Offering comfort, protection and durability.

In 1980, Hevea invented Purofort, a unique material with millions of evenly distributed air pockets, making it extremely lightweight and thermally insulated. The cross-linked structure of the material provides flexibility and strength.”

The Dunlop® range of footwear is renowned for its protective yet durable capabilities in agriculture, fishing, outdoor and leisure industries, the mining industry, and particularly in the equestrian market.

Dunlop® wellingtons are anti-slip, thermal, and shock-absorbing, which makes them perfect for all-day wear. They are also incredibly hard-wearing, so all Dunlop® footwear provides positive long-term investment.
