Wb123 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) I have neoprene lined Aigles for winter and cotton lined for summer. Unless at work I am in slippers or wellies. Both are easily some of the most comfortable boots I have found and whilst painful to buy well worth it now. Amazon can be cheap but my local rfd has been even cheaper (i bought a pile of ammunition at the same time as my summer wellies and he very kindly knocked a good bit off). My better half has cotton lined ones for summer and leather lined for winter/sunday best. She does keep eyeing up neoprene lined ones though. I also have aigle riding boots and have been less impressed with the way the linings move around. For reference I paid £70 for my summer wellies, £115 for the winter ones, the better half paid £85 for her summer ones and £65 for her leather lined ones (an Amazon algorithm glitch I suspect due to her weirdly sized feet). I bought several pairs of riding boots at £20 each when a local shop was selling them off. Edited February 6, 2018 by Wb123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyblanco Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I tried to buy the Dunlop Terrior wellies in September and (luckily) the shop had missing stock so couldn't complete the order, I went for the Aigle Iso neoprenes and they are amazing. Really comfortable and pretty warm, only had them for a few months but they feel much better made than my previous Le Chems which lasted five years. Like wearing high end trainers comfort wise. They were only £100 on Amazon too but have now shot up again, Decathlon only do the dark green colour rather than the lighter teal green too. I still fancy some Dunlops for summer maybe but wont ever buy Seeland again after two pairs went in a matter of weeks, John Norris replaced them with money off the Le Chems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pond digger 007 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 On 02/02/2018 at 18:57, Big Al said: My trusty Le Chameau (about 10 years old) have finally sprung a leak in the right boot. I have browsed a few wellie boot threads and like the sound of the Aigle Parcours or the the dunlop purofort. I need a hard wearing boot but value the warmth neoprene lining gives. I love to hear from owners of either of the above. Alternatively, if there is another boot I've missed I'd be keen to hear about it too. Thanks Why would you think of changing when you’ve just had 10yrs out of your Chameaus? I currently have a pair, and they have outlasted my previous Aigles. The Aigles were comfy mind.

They are looser around the heels and tighter around the calves than I'm used to but will be grand. They have a thick durable sole too. Wearing them in the snow today. £39.99 delivered is a price I can live with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Neoprene Chams for cold weather and cotton Agile parcous for warm weather chams walk better on my feet but Parcous a better for standing around less pressure on heels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty99 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Aigle for me without doubt. Keep an eye on Decathlon I bought my last pair from them for £69 reduced from £120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have good grip and are decent wellies for the money but if you're stood about I'd not say they are much good at keeping you warm... although good socks make all the difference regardless which brand you wear, IMO. I dislike (ALL) wellies, if I'm honest, and wear lace up boots as much as I can get away with... the Dunlops are durable and hard wearing, stand upto the job well. Think my current ones are 2-3 years old, and at this time of year I'm wearing them all day, every day. I have a pair of dunlops.now 3 years old best boots for the money,comfy walk and warm,will buy another pair when these are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just a word of warning on aigles, firstly I had a pair of the original isos for about 7 years with heavy use, best boots ever so naturally when they sprung a leak I ordered the same only their new iso2 version, ordered the size 44 unusually small for me but same size as I had before and couldn’t even get my foot in! So ordered a 45, bigger but tight on the width, (I have wide feet) so ordered a 46, well they were huge so sent them back and ordered another 45 which I kept thinking they might “give” a little. They haven’t! I live in hope they will get better but I am so disappointed aigle have made such a big change to the original iso that fitted me like a glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 They will stretch with wear, I ended up with 8s as the best fit but I think one foot is nearer 8.5, tight to start with but fit like a glove now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto69 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 My first pair of Aigles lasted 18 years, my mates said I was mad at the time to pay £90 for a pair of wellies. I only replaced them when I stood on a nail and sprung a leak. I’m now on my second paid that cost £130 By the way, my mates who all said I was mad to spend £90 now all wear Aigles!
