FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Meet the Bobbi — the boot that finally proves waterproof and stylish can exist in the same sentence.
Merry People designed the Bobbi Ankle Wellie to go from muddy footpath to coffee shop without missing a beat. The clean Chelsea boot shape sits low enough to wear with anything — jeans, cargos, a midi skirt — while the natural rubber upper means no puddle, path or downpour will slow you down. Inside, a flexible neoprene lining keeps things warm and comfortable, with arch support that makes a genuine difference on longer walks.
The deep-tread sole grips confidently on wet pavement, muddy trails and leaf-slicked paths. Pull tabs front and back make getting them on and off effortless, and the elastic side panel ensures a neat fit without fuss. Every pair is 100% vegan and backed by a 12-month warranty.
Available at ORA in Mocha, Midnight, Forest Green, Dark Cherry, Black & Black, Oxford Blue, Sand and Slate Grey — with sizes to fit both men and women.
WHY WE LOVE IT AT ORA
We first spotted Merry People at Top Drawer in London and knew immediately they were something different. We were among the first stockists in the UK — and honestly, we haven't looked back.
What drew us in was the combination of things that are genuinely hard to find in one boot: real waterproofing, proper arch support, a sturdy sole that you actually trust, incredible colour choices, and a fully vegan construction. The Chelsea silhouette means they look as good as they perform — these are boots you want to wear, not just boots you reach for when the weather turns.
Merry People is a young, design-led brand with a lot of integrity — they've never gone on sale, they price fairly from day one, and they make boots built to last rather than to clear. That sits well with how we run ORA.
On a personal note — I wear mine for walking Nero, and they have genuinely changed my relationship with muddy walks. Even when he pulls (and he does pull), I don't slip. That's not nothing. Our customers feel the same way: once someone tries them on in the shop, they're usually sold. The comfort surprises people every time.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use
- Do not machine wash or submerge in hot water
- Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat (e.g. radiators or boot dryers)
- Natural rubber may mark on very light-coloured surfaces — allow to dry fully before storing
