Anyone know of any? I've been through loads, hunters aren't the same as they used to be, joules aren't as tough as they look! Gone for the cheaper option, very pretty lasted a week before they split.
I'm not worried about the cost ( mind don't want to spend hundreds ) I just want a pair of wellies that are comfy and keep my feet dry, I'm beginning to think they don't exist lol!
I'll be honest I'm in Wellies more than I'm in any other footwear but not enjoying that cold wet feeling every time I step off the yard
Any recommendations??

I got the Kinpurnie boots from derby house. They arnt wellies but full leather boots but just as good as wellies and can go in mud etc. Also keep my feet warmer than my Hunters which have also split  |

The best I've had are hunter balmoral, I tend to buy a pair every couple of years but I do drive in them and don't look after them properly. I have promised myself not to drive in them and see if they last longer. They're about £90 a pair but can get cheaper on eBay

I have a pair of muckboots. They have now split after 4 years off hard graft. I love them BUT I find them very slippy not very good grip if the ground is slippy. They are warm I only wear normal socks and my feet are never cold.
Will prob have another pair even with the slippy problem.

Another vote for muck boots! Mine are in their 3rd year and still going strong! They're a bit ugly but warm, dry and comfy!  |

Hunters are now made in China apparently not handmade in England anymore so hence why they don't last! I have a pair of aigle neoprene lined wellies which are fab and are lasting really well and keep my feet warm as toast!

I've got a pair of town and country wellies. I've had them for about 4months now. And are still brilliant, I paid £35 for mine, and the best money Iv ever spent. Even better than Dublin river boots, where were £100 A time!!!! And last about 6 months!!!

Exmoorowner, they have changed the sole and added a heel on muck boots now so they aren't sloppy like they used to be. I live my muck boots!!

I used to love Muckboots but then went through three pairs in eighteen months, all split along the heel.

Sealand Welles are fab. Just bought two pairs for me and my son and really pleased and not silly price. Hunters are not as good as they use to be !!
