I'm sick of my yard boots breaking after short periods of wear! Does anyone have any suggestions for hardwearing yard boots (wellies/muckers) that I can wear during wet weather and that won't break?

My hunter wellies only lasted a few monts, my OH's Dublin muck boots cracked across the tops of the foot, and normal wellies just don't stand up to yard work (bought a nice pair of Barbie wellies from Canada and they've all cracked after a month of wearing).
 
I've just got some Shires Muckers and am really pleased with them. They seem really sturdy and have a nice thick sole on them with lots of grip. I love them!
 
My Tynes are still going after 3 years. Never wet or cold in them.

I am now going to go and google barbies.
 
LOL, these are them:

My mum took a photo of them when I bought them from Zellers in Canada.

I cheat, I work in the construction industry and have managed to get myself a pair of rigger boots

But I also have a pair of Woof Woof muckers but they haven't been put through a muddy wet and cold winter yet so I can't comment as to their durability. They are very warm though and like wearing slippers

Personally - MudRuckers. In no small part becuase you can ride in them as well. My hunters gave out after just over a year. My Shires muck boots lasted about 6 months and my Dublins even less. OH gets on well with Woof Wear though if you prefer a shorter boot.
