I can't imagine anyone on the Livestock & Forage section would know
...
But let us know because if Lamb is soon over £6/kg and Beef over £4/kg, we'll all be after a pair.

Very much depends what you want from them.
For a days shooting yeah go for it. Warm and comfortable and almost a part of the uniform.
Farm work nope. They don't offer enough intrinsic strength to repeatedly get covered in crap and resist sheep or cattle trampling on them even if they don't break your toes. If they are for driving a tractor in they would be like slippers.
I've had a good number pairs for shooting over 30 years and like them. I bought the Ceres for farm work and they were tougher than the shooting ones but not by a great deal. Le Chameau boots need cleaning and an occasional spray of preservative, not because they are crap but because their flexibility and comfort comes at a price.
For high days and holidays they are still probably the best wellies you can buy.
Jeez, though, they are getting expensive now as neo lined wellies by upstart companies are getting to be cheap enough to be almost disposable.

i bought a pair (leather lined) 15 years ago, they were less trendy or expensive then !
find them warm and comfortable
still have them today and the are in good condition, im certainly not a daily welly wearing kind of farmer though, us notil guys can walk fields in slippers
They do come in handy shooting on other people s farms though

Save yourself a fortune and buy a pair of Dedito wellies instead. Every bit as good, and only £75 .
Or better still get a pair of their boots as well!

Got my first pair before Xmas and love them , been on muckboots which were good for work but last 2 pairs split in no time at all . Everything is dear but I've got to the age where I put comfort ahead of price , could buy £12 pair and have bad feet?

I never found them that warm and the quality seems to get a lost worse, If you want warm feet, use 2 plastic shopping bags as liners

They are fine for walking the dog or a days shooting but otherwise forget it. I went through two leather pairs and a neoprene pair in 18 months. I now have a pair of Aigle which have 5mm of neoprene in for winter and a cheap unlined set for occasional summer use, 2 years on they are both still going strong.

Yes they are worth it it’s like chalk n cheese compared to standard welly’s , I find them to feel more like slippers than welly’s very comfy
