Comfort
Rubber rain boots have a reputation for not being particularly comfortable unless you buy the more expensive wellington boots \ rain boots. However, we found the Joules Field boots were reasonably comfortable. You probably wouldn’t want to wear them all day or walk for miles and miles. But for everyday tasks, they are perfectly good.
Unlike many boots, the fastener at the top of the boots isn’t just there for aesthetic purposes. It actually allows the circumference of the boots to be adjusted.
The two main benefits of being able to adjust the girth of the boots are:
- The boots can be adjusted to fit both narrow and wide calves.
- The fastener can be adjusted to prevent the boots from flapping against the legs when walking.
The main complaint about the Joules Field boots is the insole has a habit of moving around when walking, which is obviously going to cause discomfort. We didn’t experience this particular problem, but if you do find this an issue, it is easy enough to replace the insole with your own or even use some double sided sticky tape.
Style
Although the name might suggest otherwise, the Joules Field boots are primarily designed as fashion boots. The boots are only available in four plain colours, blue, olive, black and gloss black. If you’re after boots with more exciting designs, then try the Joules printed boots range. The welly prints range from simple polka dots to images of dogs to creative patterns. They are virtually identical to the Field boots.
All the Joules Field boots have a coloured seam running down the back, which gives them a distinctive look.
Warmth
The Joules Field boots are not going to keep your feet warm in cold conditions. They have a thin polyester lining, which is there to absorb moisture, not keep feet warm. The natural rubber the boots are made from is relatively thin and will offer little protection against freezing conditions.
The Joules Field boots are ideally suited to milder, wet weather conditions.

Traction
The soles of the boots are fairly typical for these type of rubber boots. For most situations, like walking on wet pavements or muddy tacks, the traction is good enough. The boots are not designed for winter conditions, so don’t expect much grip in the snow and ice.
Protection
Like nearly all fashion rain boots, the Joules Field boots only offer protection from the wet. As previously mentioned, the boots do not have an insulating lining so they will not protect feet from the cold. There are no reinforced areas, such as around the toes. So if you drop something heavy on your foot it is going to hurt!
Final Thoughts: Joules Field Boots Review
If you’re looking to buy a new pair of rain boots that look good, are reasonably comfortable and keep your feet dry then the Joules Field boots are pretty good option, especially when considering the relatively low price tag.
Overall we have given the Joules Field boots 3.6 out of 5

I've been working with rubber boots (aka rain boots, wellies) in one way or another, since 2009. So, i've seen a lot of wellington boots in my time. I create most of the content for the website, which i hope you find useful.
