WHY WE RECOMMEND GRUBS
Wylie's Outdoor World's owner 'Drew' has been trading with Grubs for many years, even before opening Wylie's Outdoor World in 2014...in that time Grubs have earned our trust by consistently providing a high level of service!
We believe in supporting UK based outdoor brands, Grubs have shown us a high level of support over the years in return. The quality of the Grubs range is fantastic! as is their customer support should we need to call on it to assist you with a return, or exchange.
We use Grubs boots ourselves, and have tested many of the lines over the years.
We are proud to show our support by featuring Grubs as our core brand for our men's and Women's Wellies and Footwear categories!
The Grubs MUDDIES ICICLE 5.0 kids wellington boots provide warm, waterproof protection for children's outdoor adventures. These calf-length boots feature 5mm INSUFOAM-ULTRA neoprene insulation rated from -20°C to +20°C, making them suitable for year-round UK weather. Available in Black, Violet, Red, and Lichen Blue with sizes from UK CH6 to UK 2.
These children's wellington boots provide warmth and comfort for outdoor play:
The 5mm INSUFOAM-ULTRA neoprene provides insulation that keeps children's feet warm during outdoor activities. This neoprene layer works with ankle-height rubber to create a warm, waterproof barrier. The insulation maintains warmth even when standing in cold water or snow, making these boots suitable for UK winter conditions.
The calf-length design ensures boots stay on during running, jumping, and puddle splashing. Children can play actively without boots slipping off or water entering from the top. The height provides protection when walking through deeper puddles or wet grass common in UK outdoor environments.
The kick rim design enables children to remove boots independently without adult help. Kids can step on the rim with one foot to pull the other boot off hands-free. This feature encourages independence and makes it easier for children to manage their own outdoor gear.
Available in UK children's sizes CH6 through UK 2, covering ages approximately 3 to 8 years old. Refer to the sizing chart below for boot height and calf width measurements for each size.
| UK SIZE (c=child) | BOOT HEIGHT (mm on leg) | CALVE WIDTH (circumference in mm) |
|---|---|---|
| UK6(c) | 190mm | 330mm |
| UK7(c) | 195mm | 330mm |
| UK8(c) | 200mm | 330mm |
| UK9(c) | 205mm | 330mm |
| UK10(c) | 210mm | 340mm |
| UK11(c) | 215mm | 340mm |
| UK12(c) | 220mm | 340mm |
| UK13(c) | 225mm | 340mm |
| UK1 | 230mm | 350mm |
| UK2 | 235mm | 350mm |
Unlike traditional wellington boots that require sizing up, Grubs boots are designed to be true to size. Order your child's regular shoe size rather than going a size larger. The boots include a 15mm toe allowance and will stretch to fit half sizes comfortably. The materials accommodate widths up to EEEE fitting.
The hard-wearing rubber outsole provides durability for children's active outdoor play. The quality rubber construction handles rough surfaces, gravel paths, and playground equipment without excessive wear. The underfoot chassis creates a sure-footed platform that helps children maintain stability on slippery surfaces.
The -20°C to +20°C temperature rating makes these boots suitable for UK weather throughout the year. The 5mm neoprene insulation keeps feet warm during winter months, while the breathable design prevents overheating during milder weather. This versatility means children can wear the same boots across multiple seasons.
These wellington boots suit UK children who spend time outdoors regardless of weather. The waterproof construction handles UK rain and puddles, the neoprene insulation manages cold temperatures common in UK winters, and the durable outsole withstands the varied terrain of UK outdoor environments from muddy fields to playground surfaces.
The MUDDIES ICICLE excels at providing warm, waterproof protection for children's outdoor play. The 5mm neoprene insulation keeps feet warm in cold conditions, the calf-length design stays on during active play, and the easy kick rim enables independent removal. The true-to-size fitting eliminates the guesswork common with traditional wellington boots.
The neoprene insulation adds warmth but also weight compared to basic rubber wellies. The calf-length design may be too tall for very young children with short legs. The boots are designed for outdoor play rather than formal occasions. Children who run hot may find the insulation too warm during summer months.
Rinse boots with clean water after muddy outdoor play to remove dirt and debris. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can damage the neoprene insulation. Store boots in a cool, dry place when not in use. The rubber and neoprene construction requires minimal maintenance beyond regular cleaning.
Wylies Outdoor World's owner Drew has personally tested several models of Grubs boots across the adult range and confirms they are consistently true to size. Drew wears size 9 in regular and outdoor footwear and has found Grubs sizing to be accurate across every model tested.
If you order the wrong size or the boots don't fit quite right for your child, we can swap them for a different size. This exchange service gives parents confidence when ordering children's footwear online, knowing that sizing issues can be easily resolved.
