My much loved warm Decathlon wellies have split after five years. They don't have any in my size available on line so I'm looking for recommendations for hard-wearing, neoprene lined wellies please! Ideally no more than £80.
 
I tried the wanderer plus wellies on at YHL (lots of stands selling them off cheap - about £30 a pair)
They were SO uncomfortable.
I tried the Rudds on (other end of the spectrum at £135 a pair) but they were exceptionally comfortable.
For something I wear most days for a few hours, I don't mind spending more for the comfort.
Sorry, know that's maybe no help to the OP but thought I'd mention my (brief) experience of the toggi mentioned.
 
My Ariat wellies are lasting well. They're in their second winter with no signs of holes or cracking and they're worn every day . Warm and comfy too.
 
Love my aigile wellies! Wear them all day at work, to the yard and out shooting and they're in their second year without any damage at all!
 
Dirt boots! Not a ‘riding’ brand so not too expensive, pretty much look like muck boots. Mine are fleece and neoprene lined and keep my feet so warm, whilst being properly waterproof.
 
my aigle parcours are on their 5th winter, so although almost £160 to buy it works out £40 per year so far and if we get through this winter it will be less. they are really warm and comfy and the best wellies i have ever had in over 50 years of horses and dog walking...
 
Wore my Ariat Mudbusters (think that's the model) today.

Obviously waterproof so a tick in that box, but not comfy underfoot. And they were cold. It was five degrees and I'd have been sulking if it had been any colder. On the plus side they did give some protection against a tree branch falling on my leg.
 
I have fleece lined rubber rigger boots with metal toe caps. They keep my feet as warm as any wellie does & they are under £20 to buy. I get around 2 years + out of a pair.
 
Grubs Frostline - fab, warm wellies and you can find them in DIY outlets a lot cheaper than any horsey website. I live in mine pretty much.
