Do wellies stretch?
Welly boots are designed to be roomy enough to fit with thick socks, but tight enough to prevent them from slipping off.
Made from rubber, wellies can be stretched to make them slightly larger. However, this is not recommended as it may damage the rubber and misshape the boot.
Most wellies feature an adjustable gusset which will allowyou to loosen or tighten the boot to ensure it fits your calf comfortably.
