I agree with the above post.
After having spent the previous 50 years of my life wearing cheap wellies I now have to testify that Muck Boots were a revelation to me. The difference to the toll on my feet in every single way is worth the price for me. They are expensive and I didn't purchase them from my large stash of money but I really felt I needed to take better care of my feet. I buy good quality hiking boots and shoes so why not do the same with wellies?
The quality you purchases does depend on what your are wearing the boots for and how often. If I only wore them to potter around in the back garden in then I'd be quite happy to continue wearing a ten quid pair from B&Q.
anyone round our way stock 'em or did you get 'em mail order? I quite fancy the steel toecapped version but would like to try them on first.
EDIT: or I could just ask you tommorow...
