pond digger 007 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I do, but its not long term, bought a pair at the game fair and have worn them a bit round the farm, walking the dog etc. So far so good, neoprene lived, natural rubber, decent sole and quite comfy. Full length side zip too, so easy on and off. I don't like that big rubber logo thing; I'd feel a right twit in those. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckandswing Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I swear by muck boots. I've had a pair of the chore ones for over a year now and I hammer them. Still look like new and fit like gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD140 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I had a pair of Le Chameau leather lined and zipped, they lasted me for 11 years before they began to leak. Good boots for standing around in (not the warmest though) but very, very heavy to walk in. From some of the comments on here the new one's are lighter, which in my opinion they needed to be. I have a pair of Aigle Parcours now, they are okay but very tight around my calves, also the rubber feels quite thin. They are comfortable enough but doubt they'll last to long!

JD140 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Just out of interest does anyone know if you can get wider calf Aigle's? I know Le Chameau used to do them because my old pair were wide calf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still look like new and fit like gloves. +1 I use mine all season beating and shooting, I wouldn't have anything else. I have had a blackthorn go through the neoprene but it could happen with any wellie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a blackthorn go through the neoprene but it could happen with any wellie! I hate muck boots, both the old and the new. The most uncomfortable boots bar none, and when the neoprene eventually wears away at the heel say hello to massive blister city. I have to say though, I live and die in wellies, not just the occasional use during beating season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I tend to buy boots based on fit now nothing more. If its a £10 pair or £200 pair i buy them if they are comfortable. The cheapies may not look the best but after a few miles i am not crippled and my feet are dry then they have done the job, many a time i have seen people in premium boots hobbling about. I currently flit between Hunter Classics (when they were made in the UK i bought 2 pairs due to the fit) and a pair of £10 ones i picked up for the garden because they are so comfortable! If I had a penny for every time I've read "people with expensive guns can't shoot as well as I can with a cheap one".....but people "hobbling about" in expensive wellies That's a new one even for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
