Waterproof footwear for a wellie hater

[Tengu]

What do you suggest?

I want something easy to put on and remove

I went for altberg warrior aqua for the same reason and purpose of use, they do much taller waterproof boots like the Gamekeeper or the high country but i didn't want higher than 9inch up my leg

I got a pair of these, which are great.

I've never owned a pair but I am reliably informed that Lundhag boots would fit the bill for waterproof none Wellies....but not sure about easy on or off as they lace up like normal high leg boots .

Hope that helps

I cant see the pic, Dave

i forgot to mention the altbergs are easy on and off due to the tongue and lacing system, off and on as quick as trainers for me

Theyre like leather wellies.

Le Chameau Leather Skadi GTX boots.

How about the Toggi range of leather 'wellies'. SWMBO has a pair that are still water proof after 2 years of everyday use. She got them resoled for £18 last week as they had a riding boot sole which wore through and has now bought a pair with proper walking boot soles.

For fast on and off. You might want to look at some of the waterproof Magnum side zips. Helly Hansen do some well regarded winter side zips as well.

Velco yard boots are what a lot of women wear for the purpose you describe

If it's only for a short duration, then you might want to consider these:

You might want to look at Muck Boots. I've used them for a decade or so. Athough they look like wellies they don't wear like wellies. I've walked thousands of miles in them with the dogs in all weathers and ground conditions, and worn out three or four pairs.

They're relatively warm in the winter compared with wellies, and much more comfortable. Totally waterproof. Quick to slip on and off, I use them all the time when I'm going in and out to the garden.

They have their bad points though. They're pricey. I've tried several different ones and I've never found the ideal combination of grip and comfort. I've fallen over in them quite a lot when I wouldn't have fallen over in boots.

Because of the grip problems, for walking the dogs I've changed to a pair of American-made waterproof boots (Skechers) and I really rate them. They cost quite a bit less than the Muck Boots and wear better, but they're lace-up so not quick to get on and off.

Boot jack and wellies?

I have worked as a maint. man on a campground for 6 years, always around water of some kind. For 4 years I have had the same pair of Carolina Logger Boots and are still as water proof as the day I bought them.
