Am about to buy my 3rd pair of Muck Boots - they last on average 2 winters:)

I live on the yard and wear mine pretty much all winter/as soon as it gets wet and then its everyday until it dries out:rolleyes: I also wear them to walk the dogs in:) Unlike other wellies I have had they are comfortable to walk miles in and unlike 'normal' wellies your toes don't get cold even at -17!:eek::eek::rolleyes::)

Mollichop also had Muck Boots and she walks the dogs in hers and i think she may even have worn them beating:)
 
The past couple of years iv worn the woof wear long mucker boots with the Velcro fastenings. They're really comfy only cost about £60 and are fleece lined. Only prob is they're not fully waterproof at the seam around the top of foot. Not a problem for me though as I only muck out in them. Tend to pull my hunters on if going in field, although I don't like them as much as I used to! The new ones are nowhere near as hardy as the old ones, the soles always split on them. Iv gone through 3 pairs in 2 years! Looking to get some le chameau's the neoprene ones, they're lovely!
 
Muck Boot Tynes. Best welly so far. Good grip, lovely and warm, prefect fit and fine for exercising the horse in.

Have some leather Le Chameau boots too which are very tough and obliging, but far too lovely to wear through thick mud and snow. Intentionally, anyway.

The long Woof Mucker boots are super toasty, hard wearing and the reflective strips are brilliant. However, do agree with the comment about leaking. Its a pain if they do get wet inside as they take ages to dry out. Best used in dry conditions, even walking through longish wet grass makes your feet soggy.
 
I clicked Ariat as that is what I had last winter and will have this winter. Also a big fan of Muck Boots but they are not the most stylish!
 
Muck boots (derwent) on my second pair - first pair would have lasted alot longer than two winters if I hadn't used my doorstep to prise off the second wellie - eventually i ripped a hole in the neoprene , so that was my own stupid fault , current pair still going well with hardly any wear on the sole and new plastic boot jack in place!!
 
I currently have a pair of Rock Fish wellies, I like them they seem as good as other wellies, especially if you are on a budget as very reasonably priced but not so good a keeping your feet warm. I'll be using them again this year but may also invest in something fleece lined!
 
Aigles for me. They seem to be one of the last boots still made in Europe. Muck, Ariat, Hunter(were Italian) are all made in China now. Some of the 'Le Chameau' are made in Morocco. I don't know why these companies aren't honest about where they're made. They deliberately don't mention it. I always feel a little bit duped when I buy Chinese stuff through the 'back door'

Probably just me though :confused:
 
I'm another one for only wearing muck boots :)

I'm just going into the second winter of wearing them, and they are still as good as new :) Well, apart from the fact my dog got her ball stuck in them and chewed big chunks out of my boots to get the ball out :(

They keep your feet lovely and warm and dry, they are seriously a lifesaver for your feet when the rest of your body is about to freeze off :D
 
Had Hunters & Joules, last pair of Hunters didn't last 5 minutes, and Joules ones didn't last too long either.

I bought some 'other' ones from the PC champs last year for £10, lasted 2 years. Just bought Le Chameau's, but not keen on how they look at all... I have yet to get them out the box, hopefully they last longer though...

My friend swears by her muck boots.

Mainly muck boots - Tyne I think? Never cold, they are comfortable and I like that they sit a good bit below the knee. Easier for bending down. I garden in them too. I'm on my second pair now in about 7 years? I also have Hunters which I also love. Mine have lasted years, but perhaps they were made at a time when the quality was still good. The hunters are worn more for very very wet weather as they aren't warm. And in the last 2 winters my Sorel Caribou boots got a lot of wear! I bought them initially for going skiing and I love them. Worth it if you are going to be around snow a lot but IMHO too nice to get near a whiff of mud :)
 
Absolutely hate wellies. I have had hunters and muck boots in the past and found them and others far too clumpy and heavy. I just wear my paddock boots. They are light, waterproof and have a steel tow cap. Mind you, I don't have mud to contend with here as I turn out in the all weather in the winter.
 
I have a set of hunters for spring autumn as they are not warm at all.
For very cold but wet weather I have derby house muckers
Then for general not dirty yard work, hacking in the winter etc I have Ariat windermeres which are ace and so so comfy :)
 
£35 wellies from my local shop - most of the farmers round here wear them so I assume they must be pretty good, they do the job and havent split after 2 years use.

For wet horsey events I wear Durbarry's - so cosy!
 
is there such a thing as a wellie that keeps feet warm? I find they make my feet very cold! Not looking forward to having blue toes again this winter....
 
£9.95 pair from my local Agri/Tack Store, comfy, non slippy, lasted for several years, and always do. Sorry, boots put away for now and I can't remember the make. Sorry.
 
My tyne muck boots only lasted a couple of months! Tyne did not want to know when I complained!

My joules boots lasted not much longer and my hunters lasted 2 years!

My experiences disagree with most of every one else's I must be weird!
