Musto's £149 had them 7 weeks then they started to leak as sole came away on the instep.Seeland 1st pair £129 Heel came away within 2 months,replace them with a diff style theses split along the seam at the heel. Moved to Muck boots,never had a single issue other than the soles are hard wearing ( old type) .Bought the new ones with the vibrum sole,they are good but leather on wet concrete it like wearing roller blades.

I bought my Dunlop wellies for £9.99 about four (maybe five) years ago. Very comfortable, still got years left in them and they have regularly been through some serious stuff in the Brecon Beacons National Park without a problem

I'll freely admit that I'm a skinflint and hate spending money on clothes, but I'd never go back to basic non-lined wellies. I've had countless Dunlop's and unless you have feet like a hobbit or you're the sort that find wooden cloggs surprisingly soft, then cheap wellies are not ever comfortable, warm or in any other way pleasant to wear.

I don't agree, my wellies may be cheap but they are both comfortable and warm, admittedly I wear seaboot socks with them. I am very fussy about my footwear because my Achilles tendons are knackered from too much working off ladders. I am also not financially constrained by the cost of what I wear, I have just genuinely never thought they were in any way lacking and they do seem indestructable.

Completely agree with you there

I got some Dunlop neoprene wellies, and they have fantastic grip (even on black ice).

Only thing I've found with almost all neoprene wellies, is the lining on the inside will split and come loose. Eventually you can hardly get your feet out.

This is generally after 9-10 months continuous use, but, that is everyday use (I live on an old farm)

Not expensive for the dunlops either when you get them off amazon
