What sizes are available?

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

 

  • Junior size 3c – 8
  • Children size 9 – 2
  • Women/Youth size 3 – 9
How do I know what size I am in Pink Band gumboots?
  • 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 Skellerup Great Kiwi Innersole with 10mm wool felt for added comfort, warmth, and a snugger fit.

Can I return or exchange my Pink Band gumboots?

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. Keep in mind that sizes may sell out quickly, so exchanges cannot be guaranteed.

The size I want is sold out – Will there be a restock?

No, the Pink Band range is a limited-edition release, and once a size is sold out, it will not be 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, launching this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is a collaboration between Skellerup and Breast Cancer Foundation NZ to raise awareness and funds for those affected by breast cancer in Aotearoa.

What sizes are currently available instore?

Skellerup does not have information on stock levels. Pink Band Gumboots are only available 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.

 

For the best chance of securing your size, we recommend getting in quickly. Pink Band gumboots will be available from October 01, 2024, and are anticipated to be in high demand due to being a limited-edition collaboration with Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Why did you choose to work with Breast Cancer Foundation NZ?

This is Skellerup’s fourth consecutive year supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.
