Campers and festival goers are being advised by Internet retailer Garden Centre Online to purchase their wellington boots almost as soon as they've booked their trip. British weather can be unpredictable at the best of times and despite hot summer conditions, mud is inevitable at music festivals especially. Thankfully, Hunter wellington boots – the best seller on Garden Centre Online in December 2010 - provide the optimum comfort and fit for the welly wearer.

Well known for their supreme comfort and great fit, Hunter wellington boots can be worn everywhere from walking in the park, trudging through mud or heading to the shops. A vulcanised natural rubber construction, Hunter welly boots are built on an orthopaedic last and comprise quick dry knitted nylon lining and a multi-layered cushioned sponge insole.

A firm favourite with celebs across the world, including Kate Moss, Nicole Richie, Pixie Lott, Penelope Cruz and Drew Barrymore, the boots have been featured on the style pages of countless glossy magazines, thanks to their affordable price tag, style and comfort.

Blur bassist Alex James, who lives on a farm, is also a big fan of Hunter wellington boots. So much so, in fact, that he was asked to be the brand’s ambassador throughout 2010. Alex, who’s also a big fan of the British music festival, had this to say about Hunter: "Since I’ve moved to the country I’ve realized (sic) that you just can’t beat a beautiful, life affirming walk through icy silver and green countryside...But having a pair of Hunters on, still reminds me of the fun of the city and Hunters are perfect for the lifestyle I have now, on every level."

While comfort is extremely important when it comes to choosing the right wellies for summer festivals, many would agree it’s just as crucial to stand out in the style stakes. In recent years, festivals have rapidly become the ‘place to be’ for fashion fans up and down the country. Wellington boots are the one thing seasoned festival-goers shouldn’t be without – and it’s never too early to plan a festival check list ahead of a weekend’s camping.

A trusted and reliable brand, Hunter has been producing wellington boots for more than 150 years. Globally recognisable for their style and comfort, the boots were initially designed with walkers in mind. Today, the boots can be worn for everything from dropping the kids off at school or trudging through heavy snow or mud.

Campers are urged to treat their feet in time for the festival season this year – and check out the huge range of Hunter wellington boots online!
