I got some harry hall ones for £20, they were great until i started riding in them

My Hunter ones have lasted years!

 

[jesterfaerie]

I love my Hunters.

I'm not a Hunter fan, find them far too cold in the winter.
Muck Boots seem to have worked really well for me.

 

[somerset-lass]

oh right , i have heard that the hunters don't last long. any views on the ariat ones?

I love my muckers they are awsome.

I have some Peter Storm wellies and they have lasted ages. I've heard mixed reviews about hunters, some last ages, others perish quickly.

Tbh I wear my Rydale Malham's now for everything and find them much more comfy than wellies and a hella lot cheaper than dubarrys!

What about Muck Boots? They are warm, waterproof and you can ride in them

 

[littlemisslauren]

I have hunter Balmoral wellies! They are brilliant, neopreme lined too so they are much warmer in winter. But are more expensive than the standard hunters.

my hunters have perished really badly cracked and heels gone right through after not that long.

There are lots of neoprene lined around if you want extra warmth. Muck boots are fab - they don't last as long if you ride in them though - my first pair that I had I rode in - they lasted about 2 years. My last pair which I didn't ride in - but wear everyday for turnout/mucking out/dog walking etc (I live on a farm so they get a lot of use!) have lasted nearly 4 years and need replacing as I have worn the sole away - but not bad for £50!!

Hunters, I have had mine for YEARS!! And so far so good!!

I had a few nasty falls in Hunters as a teenager (on ice and cow sh1t!) so stay well clear of them now! Currently I wear Dunlop sport wellies, I've had them about 5yrs and they are genuinely awesome!! Really sturdy, nice and warm but light enough for summer use without fear of your feet melting off!! http://www.foxsoutdoor.co.uk/images/products/lrg-003919.jpg

I have to agree with ali_m
dunlop wellies are fab
and they are really cheap too!!

 

[alwaysbroke]

Arait Mudbusters really comfortable can wear mine all day if I need to

 

[Keltic]

My ariat ones are fab!! really warm in winter, have a sole that you can ride in etc. will def have these again.

Hunters are ok if you get the right ones. Now the original and huntress are only really suitable for fashion - the sole is terrible.

The hunter balmoral is a good boot however and you can get it with a bamboo carbon lining which is better than neoprene as it doesn't get hot in the summer.

but my recommendation is toggi. They do a lovely ladies boot for around £40 with neoprene lining. The sole is small so safe to ride in, but I've never slipped in them. Had mine for over a year now

Have given up on Hunters, every pair I've had has split after only a few months, Dublin Yard Boots the same, so I'm sticking to my £10 dunlop wellies with 3 pairs socks in winter!

Joules do a range of wellies. I don't think they are too expensive and they come in a variety of bright colours!
