I need some wellies that will last longer than 6 months! During the last few years I have been through numerous Hunters and I last tried Rockfish Rider wellies. These are now filling with muddy water every time I walk through a puddle. I don't care how much they cost I'd just like some wellies that last- any suggestions please?!
 
Le chameau are brilliant wellies. My first pair lasted about 5 years and were so comfortable too. I have just got another pair, and wouldn't even look at other brands as I loved them so much.
 
I love my muck boots. My first pair are six years old and still going strong but the tread has worn down so I had another pair two years ago and they are still great too. They have the enormous (to me :)) bonus of keeping my feet toasty warm no matter what the winter throws at me!
 
Another vote for Muck Boots :) and they have the bonus of being guaranteed for a year so you can get a new pair if they die before then!
 
Countrywide Hunter look-a-likes, about £25. I'm on my second winter in mine. Nowhere as comfortable as Hunters but perfectly adequate and you won't spend all day in them like I do mine; mine are on at least 12 hours a day. I'll only need a new pair next year as the soles wearing smooth.
 
Muck boot Derwent or Avon are good to -20 which was fab with all the snow and they have a tread that doesn't seem to slip on ice

Aigle Parcours Iso - without a zip! Amazing. Never had cold feet, not worn more than an average pair of socks in the winter - got these in 2006 and they have only just cracked - they get a lot of wear from me! The squidgy sole lost some bounce in the last year or two - but still comfy and warm!

Might need a slightly larger size though. I tried them on in Countrywide and then sourced cheaper on the internet!! :D
 
Lowther wellies. I brought mine for £15. They are made by Hunter as their economy model, and they have already outlasted my last pair of 'new edition' Hunters, and are still going very strong!! At £15 a pair, you can't really go wrong.
 
For the first winter in years I have got through the season with just the same pair!! Although I hate the original hunters and go through them within months, invested in a pair of Hunter Balmorals. They are a totally different design and have a neoprene lining so are lovely and warm - another bug bear I have with the hunter originals. They are still going strong now and have high hopes they will take me through next winter too.

The only negative thing I would say is that they come up big, so with only thin socks on are a bit loose, so if I bought them again would go a size down.
 
Ariat Mudbusters for me. I've worn mine practically every day (not all day!) for the past 7 years and they're still going strong!
