Good Winter Yard Boots!

I have Cotswold neoprene lined wellies, they’re still in great shape after 3 years, despite wearing them for 6 hours a day / 5 days a week in my previous job!

I found grubs and muck boots slippery. I have skellerup quattro wellies they are heavy but warm and were recommended by farmer customers

4mm Neoprene lined. Tested to -50°C Comfort range: -25°C to 25°C!

Now those are the real deal!

Muck boots I absolutely hated, too slippery!

Hello all! I am after some yard boot recs for the winter. I have just dug out my Le Chameu wellies to find 2 big splits in each boot. Does anyone know of some yard boots that are more durable? must be waterproof and fit a 42/3 cm calf. TIA!

Aldi do fisherman's boots, they are neoprene and warm and strong. In green or black.

Or they did last winter anyway. Very good value for money.

They weren't silly money either because they aren't aimed at the equestrian market

I found with any that had a rubber foot then neoprene from the ankle upwards if the bottom of the neoprene got wet it absorbed the moisture and spread so I still ended up with wet feet and wet legs and they took forever to dry

Ooooh! I shall pay attention to special buys then- Aldi stuff is often good for the price

I must admit when I had some years ago I did find them slippy

I’ve put them to the top of the list- a few votes for them and they do look good

Jumping on here what short winter boots would you recommend? I'm not riding so don't need ones that will do both, only just back with horses (long story!) so only spend about an hour a week at the yard, looking for short boots that will be warm, waterproof and grippy, as the yard car park is prone to being icy in the winter

I really like my mountain horse classic rider boots! They are very comfy and have done me about 5 years? I use them more in the summer as I swap to wellies in winter though.

Whats a good waterproof short boot, I have long ones but hard to walk in with my new knee, looking for rubber ones not leather.

These were mentioned above

My woofwear short boots have been great though.

And I see them as lot of places very tempted to try them.

I've got these as well great boots.

The only thing I would say is that the velcro on the Woofwear boots loses its stickiness quite fast.

I’ve been looking for some warm winter boots for ages as my feet sweat and then freeze in wellies so I have just bought a pair of Steeds winter yard boots (Escort lll) from Kramer. They are fully fleece lined, waterproof and very comfortable. I walked the dog in them today and even going through mud and puddles the water just rolled off them. I’m not sure how grippy they would be in ice and snow but so far for warmth and comfort I’m impressed.

I'm thinking of trying the Woof Wear boots, they seem to be a good price with good reviews

A quick update on my Steeds winter fleece lined boots from Kramer. I love them. They took no breaking in at all and my feet are warm and toasty. They are brilliant for walking the dogs and have been through some serious mud this week and still look like new. The only thing I would warn potential purchasers about is that they run on the small side. I am a size 5 in shoes, 6 in wellies with thick Heatholder socks and I bought a size 6 in these and they are a perfect fit but only with thin socks.
