Creator recommendations
Slip these on, go for it.
Creators, a sculptor and two publications describe how Merry People boots fit into daily life, from the garden to wet mornings. You will hear what they wear them for and which small extras they tell others not to skip.
The long haul
Boots that stay in the rotation
One boot comes up more than any other when creators talk about Merry People. The Bobbi Ankle Boot launched in August 2019 and retired in October 2025, and the brand calls it one of its best-selling rain boots. The people who wore it talk mostly about comfort, warmth and wet weather.
@chrissieswan is an Australian television and radio presenter with over 20 years in broadcasting. In an Instagram post from April 2026, the presenter explained what the boots replaced in the garden.
I was sick of ruining runners every time I did any gardening. Slip these on, go for it. Not anymore.
@tegan_jean keeps a photo journal of daily family life in Melbourne, along with products worth passing on to other parents. On Instagram, the creator put the Bobbi in terms of wet mornings.
They've made wet mornings so much easier. Waterproof, super comfortable, and lightweight enough to wear all morning without that heavy gumboot feeling.
The brand says the Bobbi moves from season to season. Two creators put a length of time on that.
@natashaheasman is a former fashion and advertising stylist who swapped London styling work for a slower life in Cornwall, and now posts about outdoor living and woodland and coastal exploration.
They've been in my wardrobe rotation for way over a year. Ridic-y comfortable, practical and stylish too.
@tigerlillyquinn is an award-winning family lifestyle and travel blogger based in Cardiff. In November 2023, the blogger looked back at a pair from a few years earlier and did the sums.
From a few years back, I wear them Oct–May. Doing girl maths, they're working out at about 15p a day.
The lining
Warm feet, on the record
Two publications have written about the Bobbi, and both singled out the neoprene lining.
Wirecutter is the product review publication owned by the New York Times Company, and its team personally tests what it reviews. Its April 2017 write-up started with cold feet.
These keep cold feet extra warm. The neoprene lining also hugs the foot, giving the whole shoe a more snug, comfortable fit.

Extremely comfortable, with excellent cushioning and arch support. The neoprene keeps feet warm in all conditions.
countryfilemagazineExplore Britain's beautiful countryside. · 106K followersArticle 2023Oberon is also neoprene lined, for what the brand calls cushioned comfort. The brand calls it its roughest, toughest and widest yet, with a D-width fit, a squarer toe and a rugged tread.
@robertdelves is a Melbourne-based sculptor with over 30 years of professional practice and Fine Art degrees from RMIT and VCA. In a March 2026 Instagram post, the sculptor listed what the boots had been through.
Clay, water, and long hours on my feet. They handled it all. Warm, comfortable, and clean up in seconds.
The brand pitches Oberon for muddy sports sidelines and daily dog walks. Clay was not on its list, but the sculptor says the boots handled it.

The colour
Fun and bright
The Tully is the brand's fashion-forward rain boot, with a chunky platform-style sole and a wraparound neoprene cuff that nods to the 90s. The brand also notes that USA Today voted it the 2026 Best Overall Rain Boot.
@charlottestyledit is a styling creator who believes clothing choices directly affect how you feel. In an April 2026 Instagram post, the creator started with the colour.
They are so fun and bright. Practical, waterproof, super comfy but also so fun.
@bycaitlinanne is a style coach with over 13 years in fashion and styling, working with real women on wardrobe fixes and outfit formulas. The coach read the same boot as polished rather than playful.
Feels really sophisticated and chic, but it's so practical for winter
Fun to one stylist, chic to another. The brand promises a distinct style in each colour combo, and these two readings suggest the Tully can go either way.

The small things
Make sure you buy the socks
Merry Socks are a quarter-height blend of Australian Merino wool and organic cotton, cut to sit just above the top of the Bobbi. The brand describes them as the companion to its boots.
@edenmarama is an Australian lifestyle and motherhood creator who shares family life, travel and home building. In a March 2025 post, the advice was direct.
Make sure you buy the socks. They are so nice and comfortable too.
In the April 2026 post that praised the Tully, @charlottestyledit also turned to the socks underneath.
I love these pink and red stripe ones. No one really sees them, but I do, and they make me feel really good and happy.
The brand talks about cushioning and moisture wicking. The stylist's case is about mood, a pair nobody else notices that still lifts the day.
For the boots themselves, there is the Care Kit. The brand says it contains what you need to maintain, nourish, protect and prolong the life of rubber boots.
@mrstree12 is an Australian creator who posts about nature, animals and life's simple joys. In May 2022, the creator gave the kit a plain verdict.
With this care kit it's very easy to keep your boots in tip top shape and condition.

Warmer days
When the weather can't make up its mind
The Lochie is Merry People's first sandal. The brand calls it 100% waterproof, with neoprene-cushioned straps, three-point adjustment and a slip-resistant outsole.
@hectorthechocolabo documents the adventures of two chocolate Labrador brothers, Hector and Baby Yogi. On Instagram, the account put the sandals down for walks.
Waterproof, perfect footwear for summer dog walks and more adventures together
@mollycampbell_ is a fashion and lifestyle creator in Stoke-on-Trent who shares everyday outfits for busy mums. In a June 2026 post, the creator saw the sandal as an answer to changeable weather.
These fit seamlessly into my summer wardrobe, perfect for when the weather can't make up its mind.
The Billie Clog launched in July 2025 and retired in May 2026. It paired a natural rubber outer with a neoprene lining, pitched for rainy days and relaxed outdoor adventures.
@jazzdbell is a Melbourne-based model, actor and digital creator. In July 2025, the month the clog launched, the creator listed where it went.
Post yoga, coffee runs, dog walks, travel days, they're always the first thing I grab.
@goodmannersstyle is a Manchester fashion stylist known for a bold, colourful approach and for dressing for right now rather than saving pieces for best. In June 2026, the stylist made the case for colour.
The clogs you didn't know you needed, with colours that give your outfits that pop and comfort you won't want to take off.
The mess
Running, jumping, and causing chaos
The Andie is the brand's slip-on rain boot for the messiest of tasks. It has a 360° rubber outer, a wider opening and 30mm more height than the Bobbi.
@simspysstylist is a Melbourne personal stylist, recognised as an ASI Stylist of the Year, who helps women simplify their wardrobes. On Instagram, the stylist described the boot at full speed.
Perfect for running, jumping, and causing chaos. 100% waterproof and incredibly comfortable
@bycaitlinanne, the style coach who called the Tully chic, also tried the Andie and noticed the extra height.
Most elevated. Slightly taller through the ankle, but still really practical and functional
The brand puts the difference at 30mm. The coach felt it through the ankle and still called the boot practical.
