Never thought I’d reach a stage where I post this but since getting a dog, I’m doing loads more walking.

I’ve not had any wellies since I was about 5 years old so is it a case of they are all the same just go and get some or are some more comfortable than others ?

Can’t cope with the mud over the shoe treatment any longer after this mornings walk

I’m size 10 in trainers etc if that makes a difference.

Thanks.

I’ve not had any willies since I was about 5 years old

Bloody predictive text 😳

Thanks for spotting that – sorry !!!!

Edited 😯

Aigle for comfort and function.
Le Chameau for posing.

Awaits flaming from lovers of the camel 😆

Indeedy, aigle are seemingly lasting my g/f very well, and came in purple (prerequisite for her), and are well used.
Dunlops for the cheap and cheerful option.

I do actually have a pair of Camels…. very comfy. They were a pressy though.

FWIW, I get five years good use out of these lined Toggis before they split. Avoid Hunter at all costs; Aigle or Chameau if you can affords them.

I was in a similar position to yourself. .. ended up getting a pair of leather rigger boots with composite toe cap not steel
link!
good for a 10k walk, breathable and pretty waterproof. I have started to nicwax them now tho after almost a year

If you’re minted go for dubarry, not quite a wellybob as such, but a great all weather, warm water proof boot. Which will last for many years if looked after. http://www.dubarryboots.com/

What about some riggers?

Cheap wellies are terrible to walk in imho, at least with riggers you get a decent sole and fur lined versions will keep your feet toasty in winter 😉

Simon,
I asked this question about 5 months ago, walking the dog twice a day and preffering dry feet to wet.

After the initial shock on price I went for Seeland boots, £45.00 which seemed a decent mid point. Really comfortable and great until two weeks ago when the moulding between the sole and upper split. I sent them back yesterday as a manufacturing defect and I’m hoping for a refund rather than replacement.

I’m now contemplating Muck Boot Muckmasters on the basis that the sole into uppers moulding looks far more robust, £90ish.

Also contemplating industrial Dickies Rigger boots, some are rubber, some leather.

Edit: Few recommendations for Riggers whilst I was typing !

I asked same question. went for Muckboots in the end, and can say they are great, a little warm in the summer but i love that they have a hands free on off system which is good. the wear is an issue though as mine have worn a fair bit on the soles but i do use them at least twice a day every day.

warmest feet in the winter that i have ever had, even when wading across streams long wet grass etc

Fill yer boots.

I use Muck Boots on the farm.

Nothing comes close to warmth nor comfort.

If you do go down the Hunter route go a size bigger and get the thermal lining sock.

I finally gave up on cheap copies and got a pair of Muck derwents. Comfy and warm, pleased so far after a couple of months. They are a little clumpier than the cheapies under a canoe thwart tho.

Muckboots +1 or for about 40 quid look at neoprene fishing wellies like these

Much better to walk in

It’s got to be these..I had a pair as a kid. 🙂

How long have you had yours and are they the Muckmaster ?
That model appears to have a large moulded section on the heel for removal.
