- 3mm neoprene lining for warmth and comfort
- Built-in arch support with removable insole
- Natural rubber, 100% waterproof
- Available in 15+ colors

Colors to consider: Black (most versatile), Sand (neutral chic), Rust (warm statement), Fuchsia (bold personality).
2. Tully Platform Boot — The Statement
The Tully takes the Bobbi’s comfort DNA and adds a chunky platform heel and contemporary silhouette. It’s Mary People’s fashion-forward offering.
Best for: Festival-goers, fashion lovers, anyone who wants to make a statement. Not ideal for long hikes or heavy outdoor use.

Sizing Guide
Merry People boots fit true to size with a snug feel. Key tips:
- Normal feet: Order your regular shoe size
- Wide feet: Size up one full size
- Between sizes: Size up
- Need extra room: Remove the insole for approximately 0.5 size more space

Pro tip: The neoprene lining means the boots will feel snug at first but will conform to your foot shape after a few wears.
Care and Maintenance
To extend the life of your Merry People boots:
- Clean with mild soap and water after muddy use
- Dry naturally at room temperature — never near direct heat
- Protect with silicone spray every 2-3 months to keep natural rubber supple
- Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
- Remove insoles to air out after heavy use
