Only1cliff Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Coming from using my muck boots where i have been having to use 3 pairs of thin socks to stop them from rubbing my heals (also putting plasters on before i go out) Ive just bought some Le Chameau wellys, should i be able to get away with just the one pair of socks? I was thinking about using my sealskin socks? Bit of a random question but seeing as i will be out all day beating i done want to end up with blisters So what do you wear with yours?

B725 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Only ever had one pair of socks on and never been a problem even when beating, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garygreengrass Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 One only one pair I use, Can`t afford any more after buying the wellys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only1cliff Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thats great. Thought just the one pair would be fine. So far they feel alot better than much much boots, so hopefully they will give me no probs tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-oXo- Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) After using normal poo wellies then going to my chameau's I'd just go bare foot their like silky smooth warm padded gloves for your feet. Why didn't I buy a pair years ago... Yeah one pair of socks work a treat. Edited November 23, 2012 by -oXo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bad lindz Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 What was wrong with wearing 1 pair of good quality socks with your muck boots maby wearing 3 pairs of socks did the chaffing of your heels. I have worn muck boots for years and appart from sometimes getting to hot on a warmer day I have never had any problems. Were they the wrong size in the first place? and why wear sealskin socks if the boots are waterproof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive worn my mucks for a couple of years now with just 2 pairs, one thin pair and one pair of long socks but for some reason this year they rubbed the back of my heals everytime out, last time out i put 3 pairs on with plaster and they where fine. I used The Le chameau wellys today, and i have to say that they are in a different class. Warm, comfy and no rubbing.

halfbee Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Le chameau = comfy, just wear a pair of ordinary socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Found exactly the same re heel rubbing with Muck boots,I think it`s because they grip your calves rather than fitting the foot.Have Derwents and find them deadly on mossy wet upland ground too,relegated mine to be work wellies. Le Chameaus are the most comfortable wellies that I`ve had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a look at the cool max Le chameau = comfy, just wear a pair of ordinary socks. Just used the one pair of long socks and found the boots sooooo comfy Found exactly the same re heel rubbing with Muck boots,I think it`s because they grip your calves rather than fitting the foot.Have Derwents and find them deadly on mossy wet upland ground too,relegated mine to be work wellies. Le Chameaus are the most comfortable wellies that I`ve had. From going from the mucks to the le chamaeus i am really impressed, Ive never been a fan of wearing wellys as i prefered walking boots. But its a different story with these wellys :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lksopener Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I've had my chameau vierzonord for 7 years now and wouldn't be without them. They are brilliant, comfortable warm and grippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
