My first look goes to wikipedia, where i read some interesting things about wellington boots. So we can read there, that, the wellington boot was originally a type of leather boot.
However, in 1852 Hiram Hutchinson acquired rights to the vulcanisation of rubber from Charles Goodyear jnvention, to manufacture footwear. One year later, 1853, he moved to France. He sales his product under the brand, Â l’aigle (“to the aegle”) to honour his home country, the US. Today this brand is known as Aigle. The manufacture still exist and produce high quality rubber boots.
An other entrepreneur from the US, Henry Lee Noris and his partner Spencer Thomas bought also a patent of this invention. In 1856 he founded the North British Rubber Company, which later became Hunter Boot Ltd.
