Merry People

Merry People have quietly become one of those brands you spot around the place once you know what to look for - and once you own a pair, you understand why. Our Merry People collection brings together the full range of their beautifully made, properly waterproof boots and sandals: the much-loved Bobbi Ankle Boot (the one that started the obsession), the sturdier Oberon for slightly more rugged adventures, the taller Tully for when you want proper calf-length coverage, and the brilliant Lochie Sandals for warmer weather. We also stock the Merry People Care Kit so you can keep your boots looking their best. What makes Merry People different is how cleverly they've combined real, functional waterproofing (think neoprene linings, sealed seams, and wellington-grade rubber) with a silhouette that looks properly smart - these are boots you can wear with jeans, a dress, tailored pants or weekend weekend leggings without looking like you're about to muck out a paddock. They handle New Zealand's everything-in-one-day weather, city downpours, muddy walks, school runs and weekend markets with equal ease. A favourite with midwives, nurses, dog walkers and anyone who's ever been caught out in unpredictable weather. Shop the full Merry People range online with free urban shipping on NZ orders over $150, or come and try them on in person at one of our two Wellington stores - returns are genuinely painless if the fit isn't right.
