Wellies

You know it's almost Christmas when the 'which welly' posts start to appear.

 

:rolleyes::):angry:

 

Only 42(?) sleeps to go

 

 

As for the boots, they look good but don't look like they will accommodate anyone with big calves.

I have had the same pair of Chameau neoprenes for about 10 years now, and when they finally die I don't think I will replace them with neoprenes.

Even in Scotland, it just doesn't seem to get cold enough for them these days.

Good soles like the ones those seem to have of Vibram soles like some of the others have will be more important to me.

I recently looked into a lot of neoprene wellies and settled for Hunter Balmoral Neos, they cost me £75 (rrp 90) and I have to say I am chuffed to bits, they are very comfy and keep the feet warm without getting sweaty. I could wear them all day long quite happily. The only thing is the big white Hunter logo but I can get over that!

 

Maybe some day I'll go Le Chameau but I just couldn't justify double the price for a similar enough product.

I got the hunter Balmoral Neo ones. you can get them for about 70.

 

Excellent, best pair of wellies i have had. Rediculously comfy and way. They come with a free innersole which makes it snug. Good grip.

 

As above, only thing is the hunter label. As my dad keeps reminding me, they are for faggots, posers or gypsies.

Had a pair of Le Chameau Vierzonord really dint like them felt like I had slippers on so sent them back and got a pair of Aigle Parcours ISO Open they where really comfy but my feat sweat so much in them it was like a swimming pool by the end of the day. After about a month of wearing them the fell apart so they got sent back too. Got a pair of Hunter Balmoral Neo and they are the dog’s ******** not to warm and fit good, Id defiantly recommend a pair.

Just like daveB916 -Ive got a pair of Toggis which are in their 4th season and still as good as the day I bought them, I've heard some bad things about Le chameau leaking (From gunshop owners) but I've never tried them myself so can't say for sure. If these Toggis ever wear out or get damaged I'll definately get another pair.

I don't know whether I've got 'limp' ankles but I like the support of a decent pair of leather

boots. I've only seen one pair of muck boots but they were like slippers, with no apparent

support at all.

 

Do any wellies give a bit of support for walking on uneven ground?

Iv got Grubs and Muckboots (i rotate) and i find the soles poor on both of them. Pretty slippy! and the muck boots have started leaking within 12 months how ever they are warmer than the Grubs

Both boots have a small reflective strip on the back, Which would reflect light if you were running away from someone who was trying to find you in his field with a lamp :blink: :good:

So in closing dont buy muckboots if your a poacher or walk in muddy fields or in wet weather :lol:

Do buy them if you like have warm feet (briefly) :P

No problems with the Chameau I although I prefer the neoprene lined

they are dead comfy provided they fit (as mentioned). I just bought

a pair of Toggi's Wanderer Plus Neoprene for £60 and they are brilliant just as good

as when they were branded Kudu. Both Chameau and Toggi have the stiffer

soles which if you are walking distances on uneven ground are less tiring.

Just got a pair of Hunter Balmoral Classics and they're cracking. After cutting about in a pair of site steelies I was amazed how flexible they are. My feet are quite narrow so I need a decent pair of socks but with them they fit like, errrm, a welly.

 

Looking forward to clocking up many a mile in these bad boys.
