archi Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 I have a pair of gumleaf royal zipped and they give a calf size measurement they fit who I think is 19” if not any good then it might have to be LeChameu as they do a wider calf fitting still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Aigle or decathlon own brand. Definitely not Hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 I've just bought a pair from Decathlon, all the decent wellies are so expensive during the colder months that I decided to buy a stop gap pair till the summer when prices are,hopefully, a little more keen.Bought the solognac G500 lightweight, £35 inc.postage and they are really comfortable with a wide wide calf.

I've just measured my calfs and there 50 cm so would need a touch wider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberisle Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 You should take a look at Snowbee rockhopper neoprene wellies, for going about the foreshore they are brilliant they have spikes embedded in the soles i have worn them for the past year and they are absolutely brilliant, the only bad thing about them is if you are walking along a gravel path or a road you sound like a troop of soldiers marching along. I have used them walking on mud, bladderwrack covered rocks, grass, snow, ice and no slips or falls this year, you feel as if you could walk up the side of a cliff in them.

Bit of overkill for what I want them for as I live in my bassboots waders on the shore. The wellies will be used just for dog walking and a bit of roost shooting thats about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole boot is more flexible and softer to wear than most cheap boots, that includes the sole. Had mine for 2 Derbyshire winters with no problems so far.

Sadly the girth of the calf is only 42cm way to small for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
