Walker570 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I have a pair of BOGS. They where not expensive . Neoprene tops and rubber bottoms. A bit clumpy but I walk and shoot in them OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I bought last year a pair of Muckboot muckmaster, had to get one size larger as my normal size was a bit tight, very pleased with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLondon Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I’ve just got myself a pair of muck boots Arctic sport good to -40 apparently. They are the warmest boots I’ve owned so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_ox Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I’ve had a pair of muck boots for the last 2 seasons and they’ve started to fall apart now, splitting where the seams are bonded. Though they were very warm and toasty in cold weather and quite durable but I had a blackthorn go through the neoprene upper on the second outing. The wife has got me a pair of Le Chameau Vierzonord extreme for Christmas, I hate cold feet on the peg so hoping these will fit the bill.

no1ghillie Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Short neoprene boots are a health hazard.....I had a pair of muck boots and while stepping into the boat, water went over the top of the boots. The result was that the neoprene section vacuumed , causing my lower leg complete stoppage of blood , and severe pain. The boots had to be cut off with a knife , never again, best advice stick to good old wellingtons or upmarket shooting boots, that have stood the test of time No1 ghillie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up with a pair of the Eskline 8.5’s as the rubber goes higher up the leg than the snow line (same insulation at -40 though) although the tread pattern is different and not Vibram. Cheapest I found were buywelliesonline who are the same company as internetgardener but a bit cheaper. https://www.buywelliesonline.co.uk/CategoryView.aspx?search=Grubs Due to here tomorrow by next day post.....I’ll let you know.

Cheers Fizz You will not be disapointed.i will be out tomorrow with mine and the lad i go out with wears them as well the only downside of the 8.5 is they are too hot from april so i change into normal lace boots ...they are then washed and put away till the winter.. The best warmest wellies i have ever had the pleasure to wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
