Kes Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 You'll be glad you didnt choose Hunters (neoprene) - I have a pair and have normal feet but they are a close fit in my size. Hinders wearing thick socks as they then chafe if its gets warm I reckon muck boots are best - all the farmers cant be wrong. I do like le chameaux bt they are quite flexible rubber and a high sole so you find you can 'fall off' them in hard rutted ground. All the best - Kes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderdude Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ordered some muck boots, the real tree camo ones and the model is Avon. Got them for 48 quid which isn't too bad I don't think Where did you get them from at that price??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yickdaz Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) Would the regatta neoprene ones be any good. Under £30 ? I no you pay for quality but I no you pay alot for named brands exactly what i got from the midland game fair, and they are really good quality, thick neoprene lining comfortable, and the warmest wellies i,ve had Edited October 18, 2011 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axor Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Cheap but a great boot for the money, Sports Direct were doing them a month or so ago for £11.00, just like muck boots http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_067VA21827501P?isABTestAvl=true&srccode=cii_9324560&cpncode=18-84215686-2&i_cntr=1318972848399&sid=IDx20070921x00003j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siberian Tiger Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Another Aigle fan here, found muckboots far too heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashgun Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 gumleaf wellies are the best i wear them all day and every day in all conditions on a farm and they are reasonable priced look them up on gumleaf clothing, they have the quality of chameau at a better price.

chrispti Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Some lads at work went through 3 pairs of muck boots each last year. They are landscape gardeners mind you. However, they did wear them every day, and they did say how warm and comfy they were, but just a shame the were not very durable. Aigle for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyrag Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 What is the fit like on the Muck Boots? Is a 10 an actual 10 or would I be better going off with a size 11 to allow for a decent pair of socks? Does anyone know if the Derwent and Tay designs are of a similar spec to the Avon? I quite fancy the Avon but would prefer a non camo pair for when I'm out on family days etc. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they feel baggy I'll ware some big socks too. And with the camo you could probably put black shoe polish on them to cover it up. To the other models I read them to have a different boot sole. You can get the Avon in just normal colours but I got the camo as there cheaper. If they are heavier to some other wellies I don't really mind I wear big work boots all day anyways, so can cope with that side of things .

FOXHUNTER1 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Le Chameau for me .. You get what you pay for .Ive had mine for years and wouldnt purchase any other , very comfortable , warm and hard wearing !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-250 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Got my muckers today, fit like a glove and like slippers. Very pleased with the feel of them, look really good. My neighbour has already tried nicking them, says he wants some now, and they don't feel too heavy, feel about the same as my normal shoes. Cheers for recommending them lads Oh and order the size you are in normal shoes not a size to big, mine have just enough room for a nice thick pair of socks and fit perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziplex Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 This question comes up so often and rightly so, but............unless you've had a really good pair of wellies you're totally oblivious to what they offer. Like most items of clothing/footwear you get what you pay for and after talking to loads of people who wear them year in and out in horrible conditions you can't go wrong with Aigle, Le Chameau, Toggies etc. I have Aigle Parcours ISO's and they are fantastic (if a little tight around the ankle) and if mine went south tomorrow i'd buy another pair from one of these mfrs.....they've been making 'em for years for good reason , having said that I have a beaten up old pair of Hunter Torlundy's that have been utterly brilliant but take some looking after, they are frowned upon by some but for me they are like slippers and have never let me down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redditch Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Aldi and lidl usually have wellies and winter boots at this time of the year. Usually not bad quality and VERY cheap to buy. I have a pair I bought from Germany from aldi, and they are now over 8 years old and still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) seelands, i've poss worn for a max of 40 days, during the 12 months i've had them & the sole has started to come away at the heel, rubbish.

Simon123 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Get some Haix boot's mate with some gaiters :good: Also if your wanting wellies get some Muck Boot's but a word of advice, Boot's are much more comfortable than wellies (from my view anyway) Edited November 3, 2011 by Simon123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
