Recommend some wellies please!

[Mr. F]

Hi there,

I'm in need of some new wellies.

Ideally for extended use and that are comfortable in all weather.

I've had a pair of Hunters, which I thought were awful (cold, no grip in the mud and didn't last well). I've tried some heavy duty Dunlop ones which were really uncomfortable. Aswell as some others.

Any recommendations please? Looking at around the £50 mark or hitting it lucky on eBay for a more expensive pair.

Grubbs stalkers. Warm, don't slop, Vibram soles, can walk ten miles.

Yep, I second that!

How about muck boots

Im sick of going trouhg wellies. So just bought some standard barbours this time for the UK. Will see how they go.

Its starting to get a bit warm for them now, but i live in muck boots all day every day through the winter

Just dont get the 'off road' super grippy tread pattern ones if you want to stay upright on a wet concrete yard

I just about gave up with wellies, in the end I was going to get a cheap pair and chop the top off. The trouble is, my calves are 50cm (19.5 inches) without trousers! I did manage to get a cheap pair of Dunlop ones which are quite short; every time I went for a pair of Gardener Hunters, they were out of stock at the garden centre.

Mine are 46cm.(just measured them ).. and the seelands have room for mine with plenty to spare.

Cheers Mark, I'll have to have a look about for them.

LOL! I can just see it now, loads of blokes up and down the country scrabbling around the sewing basket, grabbing the tape measure and measuring their calves. 😆😆

I can see someone replying 86" ....but they are Charolais

Or treat yourself to aair of Nokia bogtrotters which stop below the calf, are studded on the sole and are the dogs whatsits.

My wife and I have Aigle Parcours 2 Vario wellies. Clicky. These are great boots for walking. Really warm and grippy.

 

[PaulSanderson]

Another bump for the aigle parcours! Had mine 5 years and love them. Probably wear them daily, even if it's just walking the dogs. Can use them to work the farm, stand on a shoot peg all day or yomp through the woods in them. You won't regret buying a pair!

I'm liking some Neoprene topped wellies I got from Aldi last year, didn't cost much and fit my wide feet a treat.

Pretty good to walk in too with the flexy top.

 

[Jack Bounder]

Just noticed your price limit of £50. You won't get a pair of new Aigle Parcours for that, I'm afraid. That said, there's a pair of the neoprene-lined version on the bay at the moment (size 10.5). Current bid is £10, with 6 days to go.....

Clicky.

I suspect they will end up going for a lot more but you never know your luck
