These SUPERLITE® Shoreline boots from GRUBS are the ultimate footwear for our unpredictable our Welsh weather. My reason for saying that is that these boots look as good as a casual boot, but they are waterproof, warm, comfortable and insulated. They are so easy to slip on and off and ideal to have by the back door when your dog needs a run in the garden last thing at night. They also have a super flexible grippy sole making them the best boots for any outdoor chores, whether that is gardening, or going off to the beach for a low-level dog walk.
The boots feature a 4.0mm insulating Neoprene Liner and a springy sole that I found comparable to a pair of trainers when I wore them on a forest dog walk. As the name Shoreline suggests these boots are just perfect for strolling on the beach, walking coastal paths and also getting to and from boats whilst on holiday. On my beach dog walks I loved that my feet felt secure underfoot and being highly waterproof I could walk along the water’s edge, knowing my feet would stay dry. These boots are perfect in wet, muddy and cold conditions and let’s face it, when you are dog walking your feet can be in all types of ground conditions and there is nothing I dislike more than wet feet, so thank goodness for these Shoreline boots!
If camping is your thing or perhaps you have a caravan or motor home, then these Shoreline boots are the best choice of footwear you can make. You’ll find having them is a blessing as they are so easy to slip on and off and your feet are going to be dry and warm with no risk of you slipping in a muddy field whilst heading for the loo! This year Grubs have introduced two new cosmopolitan colours, purple and navy to the popular black and grey in the current range.
I am not keen on wearing bulky wellies in the summer but with our Welsh weather being so unpredictable these boots are the perfect alternative, as I get the same wellie benefits but on a smaller, lighter scale. These Shoreline boots are positively perfect.
To care for my boots I just gave them a quick hose off and then a once a month wash, when time allowed I give them a treat by washing off any excess dirt with water and then a deeper clean with a mild soap and water. I gave them a gentle scrub with a soft bristle brush until my boots were clean and then left them to air dry naturally, without using a direct heat source. Then when they were dry I applied a rubber conditioner/natural oil so I was replacing the lost plasticising agents in the rubber areas of the boot. I also took extra care of the flex points on the toe and ankle. These boots will last me for many years. But I also think these Shoreline boots would make a great birthday or Father’s Day gift.
