Skellerup Pink Band

The Pink Band range was a collaboration between Skellerup and Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, launched on 1 October 2024 to raise awareness and funds supporting those affected by breast cancer in Aotearoa.

This marked Skellerup’s fourth consecutive year supporting Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, helping to raise much-needed funds for their life-saving mahi. The collaboration generated excitement among gumboot enthusiasts who were eager to support the cause and help give breast cancer the boot. Thanks to everyone who bought a pair and supported the cause!

Pink Bands were released for sale on 1 October 2024 and proved very popular. Most sizes have now sold out, but a few pairs remain. Once they’re gone, they will not be restocked. So, get in quick and grab a pair to save a pair.

Skellerup donated five dollars from every pair of limited-edition Pink Band gumboots and one dollar from every pair of Pink Band Gumboot Socks sold to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. Your purchase helped bring Aotearoa two steps closer to zero deaths from breast cancer. Retailers and consumers did not incur any additional cost.

The limited-edition Pink Band range launched on 1 October 2024 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pink Band gumboots were available at Bunnings, Farmlands, Farm Source, PGG Wrightson, and Ruralco, both in-store and online. Pink Band Gumboot Socks were available exclusively at Farm Source and PGG Wrightson. Most sizes have sold out, but a few pairs remain.

In its fourth year, we introduced new Children and Junior gumboot styles to the Pink Band range to accommodate younger wearers.

• Junior sizes: 3c – 8
• Children sizes: 9 – 2
• Women/Youth sizes: 3 – 9

• Size down from your normal size
  Our gumboots are designed with a larger fit, so you’ll likely want to go down one size from your regular shoe size. The size guide on the product listing (found on each page) provides footbed measurements to help you compare with your own foot measurements or existing shoes. For a comfortable fit, choose a gumboot that’s slightly larger than your foot.

• Same sizing as classic Red Bands

If you already wear Red Band gumboots, you’ll be the same size for Pink Bands, as they are handcrafted using the same last at our Skellerup manufacturing site.

• Innersole-friendly

All Pink Band gumboots can accommodate innersoles if you’re between sizes. We recommend our Red Band Innersole with 10mm wool felt for added comfort, warmth, and a snugger fit.

Yes, you can return or exchange your gumboots within the return period, as long as they are unworn and in their original packaging. Return policies may vary depending on the retailer, so please contact the store where you made the purchase.

No, the Pink Band range was a limited-edition release, and once a size sold out, it was not restocked. With limited quantities available for a short time, we recommend checking with each of our retailers for any remaining stock. The Pink Band range, which launched in October 2024 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, was a collaboration between Skellerup and Breast Cancer Foundation NZ to raise awareness and funds for those affected by breast cancer in Aotearoa.

Skellerup does not have information on stock levels. Pink Band Gumboots were available only in Junior, Children, and Women/Youth sizes. Please contact your local Bunnings, Farm Source, Farmlands, Ruralco, or PGG Wrightson store directly for the most up-to-date information on size availability.

Most sizes have now sold out, with only a few pairs remaining. Released on 1 October 2024, the Pink Band gumboots were in high demand due to the limited-edition collaboration with Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Pink Band gumboots are handcrafted from durable rubber and share the same design and sizing as our classic Red Band gumboots. The limited edition features exclusive design elements, including pink accents and the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ logo.

This release marked Skellerup’s fourth consecutive year supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. We chose to partner with them because the cause resonates with many New Zealanders, affecting both men and women, as well as those who know someone affected by it. The message was simple: grab a pair to save a pair. Nine people are diagnosed with breast cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand every day.
