Merry People

Born in 2014, Merry People began when our founder Dani Hol- loway ended up with wet feet and ruined shoes after her rainy Melbourne commute. Unable to find a cool pair of gumboots, she decided to design her own.

Merry People is steadily becoming a recognisable brand, with our boots available in growing number stockists across the country, and featuring in magazines including Elle & Country Style. Our products have a broad appeal and prove these aren’t boots you only put on once or twice a year. Merry People boots are fun, stylish and practical – a modern twist on a classic gumboot.

Merry People have fostered a strong online following, building an active community of over 23k followers on Instagram, and over 9k on Facebook. Click the icons to discover Merry People.

Well, we have great news. Our gumboots let you take part in any activity, in any environment – and do it in both comfort and style. Perfect paired with skinnies, or a mini Merry People boots come in a range of colours to match your style and individuality.

No matter what you put them through, these low-maintenance warriors stay looking perfect with just a quick wipe of a cloth.
