john12 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Was just looking on the net and see that john norris have hunter wellingtons on. I have diabetes and suffer with cold feet,more so when sat decoying. So was just wondering if anyone on here could tell me would i be better with neoprene or bamboo charcoal fleece lining. Thanks john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robborobbo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 For cold feet neoprene! I wear leather lined Hunters though 😜 Le Chameau do some nice neoprene wellies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you really do have a problem with cold feet then Wellies are a No No! The lining will only make a tiny difference, you need to reconsider the whole footware scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john12 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks for that waterside. I do have a set of boots that i do waer most of the time and do find them alot warmer than wellingtons. Its just been doing abit of ducking at the minute and have found my old wellingtons quite cold.

pat g Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi John, I bought some Hunter Balmoral Neoprene's just before Christmas and compared to my old unlined Hunters they are superb. Comfortable and warm. They are supplied with two sets of insoles as well of different thickness's and i got them from Uttings at £89.99. The RRP is £115 so a good buy. However i think with any footwear its best to always try em on mate ATB, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I suffer heavily with cold feet and joined with spending alot of time on the marsh in freezing cold conditions I used to really suffer. Then I bought some muck boots from the welly warehouse (online £75 delivered next day) and these are the warmest my feet have ever been. Some say they don't last but I have used and abused mine this wildfowling season and roost shooting and they are showing no signs of breaking (time will tell) but honestly it is like walking on waterproof clouds !! also aigle are of a similar kin but a tad more expensive Edited January 19, 2012 by mpk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Muck boots for me and I've never had cold feet. They are also very comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Muck boots keep your feet warm,but i have been through 3 pairs in 5 years,usually the lining coming away on the heal or splitting across the top where your toes bend,always annoyingly a couple of months outside of the warranty. I have just bought hunter balmorals,they seem comfortable from walking the dog,but this weekends shooting will test them a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks john Le Chameau with leather linings - expensive yes - but comfort and warmth yes plus yes. Have gone through three pairs in fifteen years plus - mainly due to my not looking after them properly but kept warm and - more important as one gets ever older - comfortable and well supported. You asked about "wellingtons" and muck boots & the combat gortex, whilst good walking boots will not cope with more than a few inches of water!

Beardo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 John Norris have the seeland 5mm boots in the sale, and they have a proper vibram walking boot style sole which makes a huge difference heat loss wise. I have a pair and can highly recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have always bought Hunter welingtons till my last pair split a week out of guarantee, I gave the manufactures a bell & was told tuff s##t they are over 12 months old, last time I spend my cash on HUNTER goods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Vector Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I bought a pair of Grub's stalker boots from Uttings over a year ago to replace my Aigle Parcours ISO which were coming apart and leaking. I wasn't 100% sure about the Grub's when I ordered them but they've turned out to be far better than the Aigle; they fit better, are more comfortable, just as warm (very warm), feel a lot lighter and are cheaper to buy. The Vibram sole is also very good. They've gone through brambles and God know what else and are still fine. Well recommended and I will replace them with more of the same when the current pair have had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul87 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) How about battery power heated socks? By a decent set of rechargable batteries and a fast charger and you will have no need for new boots and save you a few quid at the same time. I believe rsrjerry done a review on battery heated clothing not so long ago. From what i remember he had socks and said they were handy as the on off switch sat just at the lip of his wellington. Hope this helps Edited January 20, 2012 by paul87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 John,I've got the Muck Boots "Avon" Wellies and these are fantastic IMO!They are extremely comfortable and lovely and warm on your legs!If it's really cold I put a pair of Army woollen socks on and no more cold feet with these Muck Boots!!Go get a pair you won't be disappointed!

I have just bought hunter balmorals,they seem comfortable from walking the dog,but this weekends shooting will test them a bit. Mine did exactly the same. They split across the toes where your foot bends.i only wore them about 4 times. I now have hunter boots and they last well. Over winter I wear thick thermal socks. The only gripe I have is there is a buckle on the side of each boot. I think they are more show but the strap has snapped.

I've got muck boots the spey variety which are fleece lined and neoprene and with a decent pair of socks my feet NEVER get cold ever infact they get to hot! my first pair lasted 2 years although the top half did rip in the end,i also have hunter balmoral bamboo carbon which are warm and comfortable to i use these for game shooting or walked up days the MUCKS Are definitely warmer though and if your not going in brambles and thick **** all the time (even though i do and it don't really matter) you can't beat them!BUY THEM ps i don't work for muck boot Edited January 20, 2012 by tomhw100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I've also got Hunter Wellies and they don't keep your feet or legs warm!Hunter Wellies are comfortable but try getting them off if you got large calves-they are a Nightmare!! Get the nice warm and comfortable Muck Boots is my dvice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddywack12 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Get yourself a decent pair of lace up goretex boots and a decent set of gaitors and you will never wear wellies again. Warm,dry,comfy and better support when walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
