SoleM8 "Leapfrog" Adult Frog Wellies

Remember the frog wellies you splashed about in as a child, goggle eyes and all? The SoleM8 Leapfrog brings them back in adult sizes. They even caught the eye of The Independent's Fashion Audit section, which called them retro wellies "perfectly timed for puddle leaping". If rainy days could use a bit more fun, this is the pair that does it.

Fit and sizing

The SoleM8 Leapfrog is a unisex, short welly, so it is quick to pull on and easy to wear with jeans, shorts or a summer dress. As a short style, it sits lower on the leg than a tall boot, which suits anyone who finds a tall shaft restrictive around the calf. Check your usual size when choosing, and allow for the socks you plan to wear.

Warmth and lining

Inside there is a cotton lining for comfort. Pair them with warm socks when the weather is cold.

Where it shines

• Festivals: nothing says "find me by the main stage" quite like a pair of frogs on your feet. They make cheerful festival wellies.
• Dog walking: they are just as happy on a wet morning walk round the park.
• Puddles: the grown-up kind of puddle jumping is encouraged.

The soles and outer are made from rubber, finished in a glossy look, and the outsole is durable with grip for wet paths and grass. They are proof that short wellies do not have to be serious.

Care

Rinse off mud and wipe the gloss finish with a damp cloth. Let them dry naturally away from radiators and other direct heat, and keep them out of direct sunlight when stored, so the frog stays bright.
