I bought a pair a few years ago, and have only used them a handful of times. I bought them to keep my feet dry, but if it has rained I still prefer full length wellies to keep the ends of my trousers dry. I prefer walking boots around the yard or garden (cheap from sports direct).
thanks Texas-I have more serious boots for being out longer but want something I can kick on and off quickly-something grippy would be good too. I do wear normal length wellies when I really have to but avoid it when I can.
