Do such things exist? They need to be waterproof, sturdy, have excellent grip, don't need to ride in them, so bulk not an issue. Ankle boots prefered, as I have LARGE calves

Have tried Muck boots, but the short ones have no grip, the wellie ones are not long enough and the Tyne ones, again have no grip. Currently wearing WW ones - they are OK, but I need to get some better insoles for them, as I can feel EVERYTHING I walk on

Any ideas much appreciated.

I have a pair of Aigle walking wellies, they cost about £60, are waterproof but also support and cushion your foot like a proper boot not a flimsy wellie, they have a side gusset and leg strap top to secure them (also stops hay etc getting in) as I have really big calf muscles too and they are fantastic boot. Unlike normal wellies you can wear them all day and they feel great and keep you warm and dry. Have ridden in them too and they are fine. Think its called the Parcour and is available also in a winter insulated version but guess is more pricey - I wear mine with wellie liners in the winter. Hope that helps
PS the mountain horse steel toe cap boots as mentioned above are also fantastic and really comfy as well as waterproof but I prefer my Aigle ones as keep my legs clean and dry.
 
Le Chameau (sp?) are worth every penny

I used to wear cheap wellies and OMG walking over frozen churned up mud was *ewwww* horrible OUCH
Le Chameau are really comfy AND waterproof means just that with them AND my feet don't sweat

I agree with all of the above

Dubarrys are great, nice and wide too. Obviously not cheap, but then I don't know what your budget is. They cope fine with everything except the ammonia you get especially mucking out straw stables which will crack them over time. My first pair survived a year of intensive use (all day every day) before they cracked due to little or no attention, they are now quite badly cracked, and a bit of water gets in when I wash out the feed bowls, but not enough to cause me any discomfort, in other words, they're still usable. I ride in them too.

so anyway i love the tuffa suffolk boots. they are perfect in the winter for mud and wet. and they have a fleece lining so keep feet toasty warm.

I have had my Sufolks for a year now and I STILL love them as much as the day I first tried them on.

THAT is superb news!! Thank you! I will ring the saddlers and ask them to order some in for me to try! My Woof Wears died this morning - I only bought then at the very end of July!!

Le Chameau, you cant get better your feet are like toast with great tread and they fit larger carves you can get them from gun shops or internet. you wont look back once you buy these boots and they last 4 ages
 
I bought some Hunter short boots at a county show this year. They were £35, are clompy, like walking boots and have tractor tread bottoms. I don't ride in them as I'm not sure they'd fit in my stirrups, or definately get wedged. My feet are toasty warm in them.

They're waxed leather so I put Renapur on them every so often so keep the proof.
