Dunlop wellingtons: Dunlop Purofort, safety boots & more

Every day the Dunlop team aims to improve the design and quality of their boots creating  wellington boots that offer the best protection and comfort around.

With a history dating back to 1888 they now produce over 7m wellington boots every year.

The diversity of the range means footwear for general and specific applications and industries. But with such a large selection of both womens and mens safety wellingtons in all colours and sizes there is something for almost every industry application indoors and outside - as well as non-safety versions that are the ideal boots for a walk out in the countryside.
