Any recommendations for a warm wide waterproof model?

I was looking at those - I'll have pop down to try them tomorrow. The De Walts ones I've had for a year have fallen apart.

My jalettes were 4 years old when they died. Seam burst so they stopped being waterproof

My sites ive had for 8 months . Wear wise. Still look like new...

Covered in paint though :/

They were bloddy stiff when new and took ages to bed in and sag, but now thye on par with jalettes for comfort.

I've picked up a a pair of Site ones from Screwfix. For £20 they have to be worth a try.

And another +1 for the screw fix ones from me. Wear them everyday, sometimes all day, excellent boots.
