Seeland Noble Wellington boots Styles
The Noble boots are available in two different styles:
Noble zip boots
One problem people often have with tall wellington boots, is that they can be a pain to put on and take off, due to the long shaft. This is especially true of boots that have been designed to have a more stylish look, which often have a slim shaft. By having a zip running down the entire side of a noble boots it means putting the boots on and take them off can be done with relative ease.
Noble buckle boots
Much like the zip version of the boots, having a buckle makes it much easier to put on and take off the boots. The buckle also have the added benefit of allowing the width of the gusset to be adjusted. This is great for people with wide calves, allowing the boot to be adjusted to size of the wearer’s calf.
Having a buckle on the side of the boot also adds character to the boots making them more attractive than other boots that don’t have a buckle.
Below is an image showing the zip and buckle versions of the boots. As you can see, apart from the buckle and zip the boots look identical.
How warm are the Seeland Noble boots
Thanks to a 5mm neoprene lining the Seeland Noble boots will help keep feet insulated from the cold. Neoprene is generally considered as the best type of lining to use with rubber boots and will keep feet warm in sub zero temperatures of down to -10°C \ 14°F for several hours when stationary. If you are walking your feet will generate heat and keep warm in colder conditions for longer
It is often asked if you need to wear socks with neoprene lined wellies. For most people the answer will be ‘yes’. The reason for this is that neoprene lined wellies are generally not great at letting feet breathe, this means that moisture can build up. By wearing socks the moisture is wicked away, helping keep fresh.
Another good reason for wearing socks, is to prevent the boots rubbing against feet and causing sores.
How good is the grip of Seeland Noble boots
The sole of the boots is firm and has a deep tread allowing for good traction in mud and snow. The pattern of the tread at the bottom is supposedly meant to prevent mud from sticking.
Having a slight heel also gives additional traction in very muddy and wet conditions.
Unfortunately, like most other rubber boots, the traction is very poor on ice. To get any traction on ice really requires the boots to have studs, which they don’t.
Build quality
Generally the boots have been well design and put together. All the joints are securely connected and the sole is sturdy. However, there are a number of report of the rubbing splitting. Which is surprising as the Seeland Noble boots are constructed from a relatively think 1.8mm natural rubber.
Final Thoughts: Seeland Noble Wellington Boots Review
The boots are warm, looking like a proper wellie and are generally well constructed. However, for the price you can find plenty of other wellington boots that are better. Infact, there are a number of cheaper boots that we have reviewed that are better the than the Seeland Noble boots.
Overall, we have give the boots a rating of 2.6 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.
