I'd not realised the company had changed. Typical, all those years I couldn't AFFORD Hunter wellies they were probably being well made and deserving of the price. Now I can afford to buy 'em they're crud!!!! Sods law
My sister bought some of the new ones and she works for me 3 mornings a week. They lasted a grand total of 4 months! Absolute rubbish these days. Very cheap and nastily put together. Like someone else said almost more cost effective to buy cheaper makes and replace.
