Gumboots, also known as Wellington boots or rubber boots, originated in the early 19th century. They were developed by the 1st Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, around the 1810s, who wanted a practical boot for outdoor use. The design was adapted from earlier styles and made from rubber, becoming popular for farming and outdoor activities. Over time, they evolved into the versatile footwear known as gumboots today.
