For farmers

Boots and clothing built for sheep, arable and game farming

Farming doesn’t stop for bad ground or bad weather. A sheep farmer checking the flock might cross frozen hill grass one morning and a gateway churned to mud the next. An arable farmer can be in and out of the cab a dozen times a day, picking up half the field with every step. A game farmer’s rounds mean wet, well-trodden pens instead of open ground, but the same soaked boots by mid-morning. Poor kit turns any of that into a harder day than it needs to be.

That’s why Dedito builds boots and clothing for exactly this kind of work. Boots that hold up through a wet lambing season and a dusty harvest. Clothing that works as hard in the yard as it does on the hill, in the pens or in the cab. Gear built to be one less thing to think about.

What farmers need from their kit comes down to three things: waterproofing, grip and freedom to move. Dedito boots are handcrafted in Italy from nubuck leather with a PU coating, with a Windtex membrane to keep feet dry and Vibram soles for grip in mud, frost and slick concrete yards, in both men’s and women’s fits.

What to look for in farm boots?

Best boots for farmers

A boot that leaks on day one won’t survive a season. Sheep farmers are on foot across open hill and pasture, arable farmers are in and out of the cab all day, but both need boots that grip, support and keep the water out.

Farm boots vs wellies

Wellies earn their place for a quick job in the yard, but they’re not built for a full day on your feet. Most farmers reach for supportive leather boots once the work moves beyond mucking out.

Waterproof boots for long days on the land

From a frozen gateway in January to a dusty grain store in August, farm boots need to handle whatever the season throws at them.

Key features to look for

Good farm boots earn their keep in the mud, not on the shelf. Farms including Bettws Hall, home to an award-winning herd of Stabiliser cattle and a leading game farm rearing pheasant and partridge poults, rely on this same durability day in, day out.

Key features include:

  • Breathable waterproof membranes to keep feet dry in wet and muddy conditions
  • Durable leather with protective coatings for daily wear in the yard and field
  • High-traction soles for grip on mud, slopes and uneven ground
  • Reinforced construction for long-term durability
  • Cushioned insoles and supportive design for all-day comfort

What to look for in farm clothing?

Best clothing for farmers

Farm clothing gets tested every day, not just when the forecast turns bad. It needs to work as hard as the farmer wearing it.

Layering for farm work

One hour you’re moving fast handling stock, the next you’re stood still at a gate in the wind. Layering lets farmers adjust as the work changes.

What makes the best farm clothing

Rain doesn’t stop for lambing, and wind doesn’t stop for harvest. The best farm clothing keeps the weather out without getting in the way.

Key features to look for

Farm clothing has to survive fencing, feeding and fixing machinery, not just look the part.

Key features include:

  • Waterproof outer layers for protection in wet conditions
  • Breathable materials to regulate temperature during active work
  • Durable fabrics that withstand daily wear in the yard and field
  • Flexible designs that allow freedom of movement
