I bought a set but found my feet got really warm, i wore them 2 or 3 times - on a side note i can usually wear gortex lined boots all year round

My neoprene lined Hunters are a 7 (small feet)

AIGLE Parcours 2 ISO Wellies Neoprene Best I've had,also a fan of the muck boot.Hunters,seeland & misto all split within weeks.

:good:

Have to agree. I thought my muck boots were good until I got the Aigles. Probably not quite as warm as the mucks but lighter, more comfortable, supple and have lasted much longer.

This subject has probably been done to death on here but am in the market for a new pair of wellies.

I suffer from reynauds syndrome, feet and hands, get proper cold feet in winter.

Any advice or suggestions welcome.

Prefer rubber to leather

in that case you might need 5mm neoprene lining and thermal loop socks?

Most farmers - who are in their boots for several hours a day - wear standard Dunlop wellies. There are lots of good wellie socks available which can make them toasty warm, especially if combined with a good pair of merino wool socks.

Pluses : cheap, reliable, comfortable, warm.

Cons : don't look posh. But you've got the thought of the extra cash in your pocket to keep you warm !

Cheap wellies are the main reason you see so many old farmers with bad hips/knees

Due toPoor fit and support of boots that are worn all day every day .

The cash is no good in your pocket when you cannot walk properly.

And just to say I where wellies a lot at work and I have Aigle parcours

 

both the neoprene lined and a unlined pair for the summer.

Agile Parcours 2 get my vote, on my 2nd pair but still use 1st pair that are 10 years old for walking dogs. Keep your eye on Amazon for good deals

Farmers with bad hips and knees is not down to wellies.

 

It's down to excessive (wrong) physical exertion on the joints.

 

Wear a pair of perfect, proper fitting boots all your life and work with sheep - you will still have **** hips and knees by the time your 70.

 

I should know... I am 7th generation farmer and have seen it all.
