hedge Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 So - my Hunter neoprene (Balmoral?) wellies are slowly splitting and leaking water. I probably haven't helped them by sticking them next to the boiler to dry out after dog walking. They've had zero TLC in the 3 or 4 years I've had them. Quite happy that they have lasted that long. So - do I go with the same or get something different? They only get used for mucky dog walks in the winter 3 or 4 days a week and trips to horse yard. Not essential that they have the neoprene although I don't really want a cheap set. I quite like the chunky soles etc. Not a brand snob, but I want something that looks nice. Budget c.£100 (less if possible). I bought my last ones on offer for about £90 I think. I've seen today some LE CHAMEAU Mens Vierzon 50 Rubber Boots, reduced from £200+ to £99 (also on offer eleswhere for c.£125). Never really been able to afford them and not sure if they are that much better? Not had a good look yet. Open to ideas. Thanks. PS - I'm a size 10.

Farmboy91 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I got a pair of Barbour tempests in December, got them online for £80 ISH I think I was, neoprene lined and extremely warm and comfortable. Ive made do with shoe zone pairs until now but I got fed up of having cold feet. My missus brought a pair of percussion ones, ( I forget the name,sorry) similar price and also neoprene lined, she seems to like them.

Ridgeway Redneck Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I’ve had a few pairs of hunter balmorals over the years and they have all split and let water in after 18 months or so. I’ve now bought a pair of muck boots and I can’t fault them so far so good. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
