Family-life title The Family Grapevine picks three lightweight Grubs styles — the Rainline, Midline and Bowline — as their go-to festival and summer-downpour boots for the unpredictable British summer.
The Family Grapevine — the family-life magazine read across the UK — has put together a summer-ready round-up of Grubs boots, picking out three styles built for the kind of British summer that can't make its mind up.
"Footwear ideally should be lightweight, easy to clean, and comfortable enough to stand in all day."
That brief is exactly what the Rainline, Midline and Bowline were designed for: lighter neoprene/rubber constructions that work far better than heavy-insulated field boots when you're standing in a festival field, walking the dog after a downpour, or jumping between a campsite and a coast path.
The Grubs Rainline — full-length cover, room for wider calves
The Rainline is the knee-length pick in the round-up. It pairs the protected full-length Flex-Panel — which gives the boot room to fit wider calves — with 2mm of our famous Insu-Foam Ultra™ lining, so feet stay warm, dry and comfortable through a long day on uneven ground.
The Grubs Midline — calf-height, easy to walk (and dance) in
If a shorter boot suits, The Family Grapevine singles out the Midline. It's a calf-height wellington with the same waterproof, insulated neoprene/rubber build, a shock-absorbing heel, our Trax™ outsole for muddy and slippery ground, and a moisture-wicking lining to keep feet cooler when the sun comes out.
The Grubs Bowline — the dry-to-mixed ankle boot
For drier-to-mixed conditions, the round-up turns to the Bowline 4.0 ankle boot. It uses the same Insu-Foam Ultra™ bootie construction for stretch, comfort and warmth, paired with our Aqua-Grip outsole for reliable traction in mud and wet.

One round-up, three options for any festival
As The Family Grapevine puts it: "All models look good with shorts, trousers, skirts and dresses." Whichever silhouette suits you, you're getting the same Grubs DNA — waterproof, insulated, lightweight, easy to clean and built to be worn all day.
