Wellies - need a pair! Any recommendations?

[fine_and_dandy]

As title After 4 years of neglecting and therefore killing my Ariats and replacing them, I have decided that I should probably get some wellies for general yard work, the added bonus being that when it is wet and muddy I'll have warm and dry feet and won't have ruined my riding boots!

Are there any types which people recommend, or any I should avoid?

Creme eggs on offer for help!

I love my Muck Company ones.................but some report they eat their ankles!

 

[fine_and_dandy]

Very nice! I have slim ankles so not sure whether it means they will rub and "eat" my ankles too!

How many money are they?

Aigle parcour iso, little bit pricey but worth every penny. They keep my feet warm and the soles are really comfortable!

Le Chameau neoprene lined for me - £95 if you look around. Very very comfy. No ankle eating.

They are quite a way out of my price range! I was looking for half that price tops.

Thanks for the recommendation though

I could leave my muck boots in the tack room tomorrow if you want to try wearing them round the yard! They are size 6.

Where did you get that pair from? I love the colour!

I think they are about £50-60 now and there are some cheaper imitations about.

Oooh thank you, that would be ace! How do you find them and where did you manage to get a pair?

Teddy gave me a big sloppy kiss today too. Think he saved all his slobber just for me...

Argyll. Plain black regular farmers boots with a red line around the top and a good pair of woollen socks.. I gave up with 'designer' wellies after having been through nearly every make and splitting them all.

I got an emergency cheapo pair of wellies from b&q for £8.
They are really comfy and really warm. Dont know how long they will last bit when they die i will definately be getting another pair!

Ha ha getting his own back for Bailey eating my hair! I randomly got mine on a visit to Wales but I think Widmer and places like that do them. There are lots on Ebay but they are heavy so the postage is quite high. Only thing I would say is mine are quite slippery in snow and if I bought another pair I would go for ones with a better tread. They also do a style that you can ride in but they were too long in the leg for me.

Muck Boot Co all the way! Best wellies ever!

Hmm, I am after a pair with a good tread as I don't want to help myself go @rse over tit anymore than I already do! I wouldn't ride in them so that's not a concern. I had a look round Widmer today but they seem quite pricey so I think I'll try and find them online

Yep, that is what I reckon he was doing! I do love him though

Ok, I'm going to try Spider's boots tomorrow and all being well, I will try and get a pair of the muck boots

Thanks!

Ebay - they are Greta muck boots in fuchsia

 

[piebaldsparkle]

How many money are they?

Think they were £60 + P&P

They are cheaper if you don't go for pretty colours!

 

[LD&S]

Landmaster wellies by Dickies are brilliant.

 

[Sam&MrD]

I have a pair the same as piebaldsparkle. I love them!

 

[Zerotolerance]

Le Chameau. Expensive but worth every penny. Mine in their 3rd winter and still as good as new.

 

[tall]

Hunter Balmoral. Pricey but lovely and warm especially with the cold weather thats forecast.

I recently bought a pair of seeland estate Wellies. They are very comfy and warm, have very good sturdy soles on them and have not eaten my ankles!

Cheaper than Muckboots, a fraction of the price & wear just a well.
