Anyone had a pair of these?...

[toteymote]

So my wellies are looking like they are about to fall apart (after about 4/5 years of daily use!

) and I was going to wait untill badminton but I've just come across these and was wondering if anyone had tried them as I was going to get the Dublin ones as my mum has some of those and really likes them but these are a lot cheaper and look nearly the same!

I wear would wear them most days to walk the dog in and to muck out etc but I wouldn't be riding in them as I bought some lovely ariat joddy boots at burghley and have hardly had chance to wear them! Or would I be better off paying a bit more for some. Although my budget doesn't quite reach a pair of dubarrys after all of those vets bills! Thank you

I dont have this 'Model' bit I have Zip up Jod boots (made to look like Ariats) of the same make.
Have had them for 2 years and worn them daily for yard work, as well as riding walking etc and they are doing well...... So if these are as well made they should last well you!

Personally I think you can't beat a pair of Chemaeus, either the neoprene or leather lined ones.

My neoprene lined ones have lasted for years and years, I ride in them most days, walk miles and they keep my feet toasty

I keep my leather lined ones for shooting

Ravenwood, i googled Chemaeus but can't find anything. Any pointers to where to look? Just curious to be honest as i've not heard of them before

le chameau - correct spelling. Would have a pair of them myself if I could afford them...

Ahh thankyou. They do look good, if i had a spare 90 quid or so. but i will remember them, if i'm ever rich lol. Thanks

I tried some of these Chemeaus and I didn't like them much - my heel didn't sit in right and the boot rode up and down.

I do have some muckboots - I ride in them, muck out, poo pick and yes I walk our 3 dogs in them. Seriously comfortable. And cheaper than the ones you were looking at... Also lovely and warm.

Thank you for all of your replies

Legs11- Thank you very much

It isnt a make I have heard of before but it sounds like they are well made so I am going to order them in a bit. Ohh and some of the dubarry furry liners to go in them

I think it is a make exclusive to Equestrian Clearance....Not sure!

My jod boots were £17 in the sale and I bought them thinking they would last the Summer and then go in the bin but they are fab - I know only wear my Ariats for 'best'!
