Best neoprene wellies?

I was just about to start a thread on wellies! Is there such a thing as ones that are warm, tight enough round calf so they font get suctioned off foot in thick mud, and with steel or reinforced toe....??
 
Le chameau for me too - their lady ones are narrow in the calf so suit skinny legs. I like the ones with the full zip as they go in around my narrow ankle but also fit around my chunky calves. They do 2 different neoprene depths, 2mm and 5mm if i remember right. Well worth they money :D
 
I've always had the muck boots ones that are hybrid riding boots - so you can ride in them too.

At Bramham this year it was so muddy on dressage days I ended up buying some cheap wellies, they're neoprene, by HKM, and are great. They were only £20 too! They just look like wellies - not overly smart, but great for the job they do..
 
You can't do better than Muck Boots IME: I've had a pair for goodness knows how long, but it must be in excess of 7 years now, and whilst they're a bit creaky around the seams still do the job.

I'll have to give them a decent burial one day soon, but shall replace them with another pair similar.

The only thing I'd criticise about them is that they're one helluva slippery in snow/mud etc - hopefully they've got that sorted now in the later ranges.
 
I love my Barbour wellies, they were a bargain a few years ago in mole valley and seem to be going on and on! (She says before scurrying off to touch lots of wood)
Now its getting colder I was thinking of investing in some neoprene socks to wear with them :)
 
I've got a brill pair from Decathlon, really comfy and quite close fitting on the leg. Think they were about £40 and come with a 2 year guarantee. Would highly recommend them.
 
Interestingly my Aigle Parcours always feel cold when I put them on, despite being in a heated Utility Room. Like the OP, although she didn't mention the Aigles, they seem to draw my feet. As long as I'm moving they are fine, very comfy, decent tread, great fit on calves and feet, but if I have to stand still for farrier etc then my feet are like blocks of ice.
 
I researched loads and very nearly bought Le Chameau only reason I didn't was I found some Aigle Parcours Iso for £95 so just came down to price.
Only had them for the past few days but so far so good, not had cold feet at all and am only wearing thin socks
