Tried and Tested
Grubs Highline Boots
We rated these boots ♥♥♥♥♥ 5/5
The Grubs Highline boot is a more classical shape and cut from the standard Grub Boot design, yet they are still traditional in the approach of being a sustainable yard boot.
The boot is fully waterproof with adjustable gussets for different calf sizes. From the minute you put the boots on they feel supportive, warm and snug; they also slip easily on and off with ease (handy when in a rush!).
The HEXZORB insert is designed for shock absorption meaning it is well cushioned making the boots very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. There’s a quirky ‘duck’ patterned inner design and a Nitrocell sole, which assists with insulation.
The outer sole has a TRACK pattern meaning the boots offer excellent grip in mud and snow.
Our overall opinion – A very supportive, durable and comfortable boot with an affordable price tag.
Available in green or mahogany.
