Ryan gun Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 After some new wellies as my old ones we literally shreded, i like the neoprene type,they will be mainly used for decoying,walking and beating so must be light but not thin like hunters.

winnie&bezza Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 im on my second pair of le chameau vierzonord's and i love them.Comfortable,warm and once you have had a pair you'll never go back! pricey though at about £130ish but well worth it.

White Lodge Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have had a couple of pairs of Le Chameaus and I really love them, though I got a pair of these http://www.johnnorris.co.uk/shop/ty_232-bargains/11313-seeland-countrylife-neoprene-boots-2200.html And I think that they are quite a good all round working boot. I would be happy to take mine beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphant59 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I tried Le chameau a few years ago but found them quite difficult to get on/off so repaced them with agyle which are very easy to get on/off but they are a little shorter than Chameau, very comfortable but insoles fell to bits after one season, (easily replaced) then after 2 seasons thay satarted letting wet in! I've now got a pair of Musto, very comfortable, very robust sole unit, correct length maybe a little clumsy but, mate had a pair and sole split! So I think I would recommend a pair of good old fashioned Hoods!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olliesims Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Le chameau are awsome boots I have the zipped ones cost me £200 3 years ago but they are the ultimate wellie so easy to get off, can walk around with them unzipped if its warm there soft on the feet a hard wearing sole and excellent grip, I know £200 is a lot but I would defiantly buy another pair when these go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a pair of muck boots that have done 3 seasons so tempted to go for them again !! I can assure you the le chameau are tough I have had the verznord boots for 7 years they are worn nearly everyday beating/picking up around 30+ days a year and basically are as good as new out of 12 beaters on our beaters cart yesterday 10 had le chameau boots says it all for me really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingit Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Another vote for the Le chameau.Best wellies I have owned by a mile and I have tried a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Le Chameau,2 years and tough,comfortable and no signs of wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillmouse Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Le Chameau were good boots, I had several pairs over the past 20 years. Not any more, built down to a price now and I had 2 pairs that didn't last 5 minutes. Never again. Seeland Estate AT Vibram soled boots, bought over 3 years ago, done 3 full seasons, worn 7 days a week and most of the summer let alone winter too. Soles getting down a bit now and I have torn the side due to my own neglect but still worn daily. I think thats a good enough trial for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I wear aigle mate always swore by le chameu but when buying some new boots last week he got the toggi boots. He loves them, says fit is better and footbed is more supportive. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I got a set of Aigle Parcours last year, worn them nearly every singly hunting trip since, very little sign of wear, they may be expensive (OK mine were not, got them at auction, very reasonably priced). Damned comfortable, warm in winter, nice boots! Changed my mind about wellies, buy the bets you can afford not the cheapest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) I brought both hunter balmorals and Aigles from Welly Warehouse to compare. Aigles, everytime. The hunters are very poorly made and poor quality. Whereas the aigles are still handmade and great quality. I wear my aigles in winter with thin socks and my feet are very warm!

matone Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Le Chameau for me,buy far the most comfortable I`ve had,no ankle support tho`if you`ve weak ankles ! Have some Muck boots for rough use but they`re heel biters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtailhawk1 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Cheap comfortable ones they all rip the same. I have had expensive ones and the price tag does not always make them better. Sometimes your just paying for the name. Shop around and try them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempy Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I wear Chemeau with the full zip, I have had them about 8 years and they are still like new, they are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn, BUT,,,,, For a full zip boot these seem very good value for money http://www.sportsmanguncentre.co.uk/product/264e2ff174bbc96521864546/HSF+Hasting+Neoprene+Zip+Boots/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I used to buy le chameau neoprene, full length zip but, as mentioned, I found them to be a very thick sole with little ankle support, which meant they twisted alarmingly on hard ground. Also leaving them without internal supports the boots developed a weak line and would never stand up, making them difficult to put on if you are a little stiff. I've tried hunter neoprene and find them hot so I would go with the gortex/waterproof boot option - Hunters had a red lining and caused me all sorts of problems with a reaction to whatever chemical dyes were in the lining - took me months to get rid of the raw red marks. So - hunters NO le Chameau no Boots - Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sat Rat Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Sorry to hijack an oldish topic,but what are your views on the leather 'shooting boots'?, I am looking at both rubber wellie and leather options,as I wear the bright yellow Dunlop Wellie's for work and to honest I am sick of the site of them!.so looking for something different.

Millomite Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Boots are better in terms of support, and in terms of waterproofness, if you get a good pair, treat them regularly and wear gaitors they're as good as wellies. The only issue with them is taking them on and off throughout a shoot day if needs be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 personally I don't like them however I do have a pair of leather lined hunters and would have them over neoprene every time. You don't sweat and can wear them whether warm or cold very much like walking boots but properly waterproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
