washerboy Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Wellies ok if your not walking far, Santa is bringing me some haix combat boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I have given up on wellies as every pair I have ever had have split in a year. I have 2 pairs of Gri sports, one pair for walking, shooting, the other for work boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 For work I've got a pair of muck boots for when it gets cold and wet, a pair of le Chameau for when its just wet and a pair of site dealer boots for when its dry. For shooting I use the muck boot or a pair of Irish setter something or others warm and water proof but now falling to bits or a pair of army surplus lowa cold weather boots again warn and dry and not as heavy as the others.

bruno22rf Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 There's quiet then there's dead - was thinking of starting an argument with some hapless soul just to liven things up . As for footwear - I wear my Chameau wellies all thru the winter for about 4 miles a day - no problems with comfort or leaks so far and about 3 years old.

Guest Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Also, I wanted the views of the airgun community rather than the rich, shotty wielding farmers. 1 hour ago, washerboy said: Ok bull head let’s have an argument ???? Stand-by for post in a couple of days re: penetration and ballistic coefficients. I have more data and pics. Just so we can finish the year with some rage, lol.

Mice! Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 ok I'll play, what do you find "penetrates" the mud more boots or wellies. I'm personally wearing boots at the moment because I know where I'm going to be walking is wet/damp but if I was going somewhere unknown I would wear wellies. and how is this for fun, I have a pair of water proof shoes cheap but do as they say but.... The grip on wet wood or stone is garbage so you'll have dry socks but might fall over ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) washerboy is ,most likely, the best person to ask re. Footwear - guys such a bad shot he usually ends up kicking his Targets over . Edited December 19, 2017 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wb123 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Aigles wether wet or not. I have a summer and winter pair I have more or less stopped using leather boots as i find my Aigles comfortable and low maintenance. Keeping leather suitably looked after to last seems vastly more labour intensive for no gain in my case. Even just nipping to tesco i tend to grab my wellies as they just slip on and go.
