List of inventions named after people - Wikipedia The Wellington boot was originally a type of leather boot adapted from Hessian boots. They were worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. The "Wellington" boot became a staple of practical foot wear for the British aristocracy and middle class in the early 19th century. The name Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Words subsequently given to waterproof boots made of rubber and they are no longer associated with a particular class. They are now commonly used for a range of agricultural and outdoors pursuits. Wellington boots in contemporary usage are waterproof and are most often made from rubber or polyvinyl chloride PVCa halogenated polymer. They are usually worn when walking on wet or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers and puddles. They are generally just below knee-high although shorter boots are available. The "Wellington" is a common and necessary safety or hygiene shoe in diverse industrial settings: for heavy industry with an integrated reinforced toe; protection from mud and grime in minesfrom chemical spills in chemical plants and from water, dirt, and mud in horticultural and agricultural work; and serving the high standard of hygiene required in food processing plants, operating theatresand dust-free clean rooms for electronics manufacture. Sailing wear includes short and tall sailing wellingtons with non-marking, slip-resistant soles to avoid damage to a boat's deck. These boots require thermal socks to be worn underneath as the rubber does not provide enough warmth. The Duke of Wellington instructed his shoemaker, Hoby of St. James's Street, London, to modify the 18th-century Hessian boot. The resulting new boot was fabricated in soft calfskin leather, had the trim removed and was cut to fit more closely around the leg. The heels were low cut, stacked around an inch 2. It was suitably hard-wearing for riding, yet smart enough for informal evening wear. The boot was dubbed the Wellington and the name has stuck in English ever since. In the portrait by James Lonsdale, the Duke can Bloomers seen wearing the more formal Hessian style boots, which are tasselled. Wellington's utilitarian new boots quickly caught Bloomers with patriotic British gentlemen eager to emulate their war hero. In the s they were more commonly made in the calf-high version, and in the s they were both superseded by the ankle boot, except for riding. Wellington is one of the two British Prime Ministers to have given his name to an item of clothing, the other being Sir Anthony Eden see Anthony Eden hat Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Words Sir Winston Churchill gave his name to a cigarand William Gladstone four times prime minister between and gave his to the Gladstone Bagthe classic doctor's portmanteau. Wellington boots were at first made of leather. However, in Hiram Hutchinson met Charles Goodyearwho had just invented the sulfur vulcanisation process for natural rubber. Today the company is simply called Aigle. Production of the Wellington boot was dramatically boosted with the advent of World War I and a requirement for footwear suitable for the conditions in Europe's flooded and muddy trenches. The mills ran day and night to produce immense quantities of these trench boots. In total, 1, pairs were made to meet the British Army 's demands. In the Netherlandsthe British forces were working in flooded conditions which demanded Wellingtons and thigh boots in vast supplies. By the end of the war Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Wordsthe Wellington had become popular among men, women and children for wet weather wear. The boot had developed to become far roomier with a thick sole and rounded toe. Also, with the rationing of that time, labourers began to use them for daily work. The lower cost and ease of rubber "Wellington" boot manufacture, and being entirely waterproof, lent itself immediately to being the preferred protective material to leather in all forms of industry. Increased attention to occupational health and safety requirements led to the steel toe or steel-capped Wellington: a protective commonly internal toe-capping to protect the foot from crush and puncture injuries. Although traditionally made of steel, the reinforcement may be a composite or a plastic material such as thermoplastic polyurethane TPU. Such steel-toe Wellingtons are nearly indispensable in an enormous range of industry and are often mandatory wear to meet local occupational health and safety legislation or insurance requirements. In Julythe Monopolies and Restrictive Practices Commission published its Report on the Supply of Certain Rubber Footwear[3] which covered rubber boots of all kinds including wellingtons and overboots. This page official publication addressed contemporary concerns about unfair pricing of Bloomers footwear manufactured in the UK or imported from overseas. The appendices include lists of rubber footwear manufacturers and price-lists of each company's range of wellington boots available in the mids. Green Wellington boots, introduced by Hunter Boot Ltd ingradually became a shorthand for "country life" in the UK. Though most commonly called "gum boots", an alternative name, "Blucher Boot", is occasionally used by some older Australians. Usually called rubber boots, but sometimes galoshesmud boots, rain boots, mucking boots, billy boots, or gum-boots, are popular in Canada and Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Words United States, particularly in springtime when melting snows leave wet and muddy ground. Young people can be seen wearing them to school or university Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Words taking them to summer camps. While green is popular in Britain, red-soled black rubber boots are often seen in the United States, in addition to Canadian styles. Rubber boots specifically made for cold weather, lined with warm insulating material, are especially popular practical footwear for Canadian winters. This same style of lined boot is also popular among those who work in or near the ocean as one can wade in and out of shallow, but cold, ocean water, while staying dry and warm. In the US white mid-calf rubber boots are worn by workers on shrimp boats and construction workers pouring concrete. These boots have more Bloomers toes, lower heels, and less radically scalloped tops than typical " cowboy boots ". In New ZealandWellingtons are called "gumboots", "wellies", or "Redbands" after a popular Skellerup brandand are considered essential foot wear for farmers. Gumboots are often referred to in New Zealand popular culture such as the rurally-based Footrot Flats comic strip. The farming town of Taihape in the North Island proclaims itself "Gumboot capital of the World" and has annual competitions and events such as Gumboot Daywhere gumboots are thrown.
