Fantastic Cold feet a thing of the past and as far as neoprene lined wellies go, they are much cheaper than a lot ofthe others. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair when these wear out. Just bought some for the other half for xmas and she is over the moon with them ( I am nothing if not romantic )

I have some hunter balmorral bamboo carbon wellies, lined with microfiber, they're around £120 but by far the comfiest boots I've ever had, even come with 2 pairs of innersoles depending on what socks your wearing. Far comfier than my current shoes!!!

in my experience hunters split and leak

in my experience hunters split and leak

I have never had a pair split and leak - they are far better value than Aigle, Hunter has really got their act together - best value wellies on the market

They are but I found if you get your usual size they are too tight and not good with thicker socks. Try them for size first with a decent pair of socks:good:

[weejase]

So would It be better to go for a size bigger with all neoprene lined boots

 

I`m also looking for a new pair of boots and was thinking of the aigle iso open but they start In a size 6

 

I`m a size 5 btw

No, In my experience, with these neoprene Hunters you buy the same size as you would buy shoes. If they work loose they can wear behind the heel, after a couple of years mine did that, and after walking a while that gets painful.

 

I would always want to try footwear for size prior to buying.

I've just bought a pair of seeland neoprene, really good value (£50), I was out all afternoon yesterday and stayed comfortable.

Got a pair for my daughter last week (between the first and second ice ages) and she's walked to work in them and treked to the shops in a foot of snow in them so far no complaints. Big Bruce at Tackle & Guns Glasgow has them for £80 0141 632 2005 check what sizes

Hi ihave the hunter balmoral sovereign leather lined wellies they are bloody brilliant i use them for stalking rough shooting very warm and quiet and very grippy with the vibram sole, i got mine from the opticswarehouse.com or uk cant remember but they were 120 every where else has them at 300 might have come down now though.

[twitchynik]

Bought a pair last year and love them. My only problem is with the sizing. Bought them online so didn't try them on and they're ever so slightly too big which has resulted in the neoprene lining peeling off at the heel. My own fault, will try before I buy next time.

I'd say yes, neoprene is great as long as your foot isn't tight against the sides....Aigle are supposed to be tight around the ankle to offer support but generally wellies should be a looseish fit.

Recently I've heard bad things about the quality of the boots, they used to be made in Scotland but now made out in Serbia, China, and Brazil. If you have pair that's lasted 10 years, don't expect the new ones to.

I agree - Ive just bought a pair of Aigle Parc ISO, from Mole Valley Farmers lined with red neoprene very comfy and they are excellent in this weather and only £110 too

This is my fifth season out of a pair of Aigle neoprene lined wellies, always used to suffer with cold feet, but not now. Worth every penny.As Clarkson might say, Best boots IN THE WORLD.

Have heard alot of people saying they will never own another pair of Hunters now they are not made in Scotland,verious reports from bad/foul smell brand new out of the box and also about being tight/small in the calf.A Hunter seller told me after he had sold all his old Hunter stock he wouldn't be getting anymore in due to the poor craftsmanship of the current boot.

I have a pair of Royal Scot,I bought them about years ago and there still as good as new,dont confuse the old Hunters with the new ones.
