Win a pair of Grubs Bowline boots and prepare for any weather Britain can throw at you

About the Author: Billy Johnson

It takes a truly tough boot to withstand British conditions. Faced with consistently damp grass, mud, wet coastal strolls, even the most advanced combinations of leather and waterproof membranes will struggle – which is why the Grubs Bowline 5.0 exists.

Like a proper British wellington, the Bowline is genuinely all-day waterproof and revels in mud like a pig. But it’s also not just your ordinary wellie. With insulation, a moisture-wicking liner, excellent grip, and an ankle-length fit, it combines practicality and comfort in a way that’s perfectly suited for British adventures.

So, whether you’re gearing up for coastal walks along the tidal flats of Norfolk or rambling over the Yorkshire Dales to find refuge in a warm pub, the Bowline is a great choice for your next trip.

We’re giving you the chance to win a pair – all you have to do is scroll down, answer the question, and enter your email. But first, let’s take a look at the features that make the Bowline boots stand out.

Boots for all weather and conditions

The kind of terrain the Bowline boots excel in

The Grubs Bowline is a British boot for British conditions. Specifically, it’s designed for camping holidays, coastal walks, and rambles through muddy fields.

As a truly waterproof boot, it’s at home in damp conditions, and you can walk outside no matter the weather knowing that your socks will still be dry at the end of the day. With the easy slip on/slip off design, it’s perfect for camping holidays when you need to walk across a field to use the toilets in the middle of the night, and the last thing you want to do is worry about laces and wet feet.

It’s also designed for all-day comfort as well though, with a thick yet softly cushioned footbed that replicates the feeling of an athletic shoe, and the Superlite technology makes the Bowline 30% lighter than conventional rubber boots.

For early morning starts and cold nights, the 4mm-thick Insu-Foam Ultra insulation keeps your feet toasty, without making them too warm: they’re designed for comfort between -20ºC and 20ºC, while the SuperDri moisture-wicking lining keeps your feet dry from sweat and prevents the dreaded smelly boot.

Finally, the GATs outsole and solid chassis offers excellent grip on a variety of surface conditions you’re likely to find in the UK, whether it’s wet grass or mud.
